life gets in the way
everyday problems prevent progress
Everyday problems or responsibilities stop you from doing something you planned to do.
Hear it in real life
Have you been running recently?
Not much. Life has got in the way.
I was going to learn Spanish, but life got in the way.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: Life got on the way.
Say: Life got in the way.
Use the fixed preposition "in," not "on."
Build it
How it fits in a sentence.
life gets in the way; life got in the way; life is getting in the way
Your turn: say it out loud
I was going to learn Spanish, but life got in the way.
Say it out loud two or three times, until it feels like yours.
