Younger Working Husbands Are Condescended To The Way Stay At Home Moms Used To Be
This podcast explores the shift in gender roles in younger couples, where working husbands are expected to do more housework and childcare. It discusses the challenges faced by these men, the lack of physical intimacy, and the codependent nature of their relationships. The podcast also explores the dynamics and challenges faced by young couples balancing childcare and intimacy, as well as the challenges faced by stay-at-home dads and the need for a fair division of labor.

What's Your Flexibility Quotient?
I came up with this construct in my secret Facebook group (join us, info below!) and I discuss what it is and why it's so important to think about this in context of evaluating how good of a partner you really are!
FQ: Rate yourself 1-10 with 10 being the best at: doing stuff you don't want to do, being open minded when discussing new ideas, ability to say you're wrong and ability to roll with changed plans. add them together and you get your flexibility quotient.

Nobody Wants To Be The Asshole.... AKA Why Couples Counseling Works
In my most recent subscriber episode, I discussed how "nobody wants to be the asshole" is a major reason that couples counseling works. Here, I discuss why your spouse may well be embarrassed not to try hard in the relationship if you're trying hard, and how this can help you get into a virtuous cycle of relationship repair and connection!

You May Miss Your Wife Pursuing You To Spend More Time With Her... When She Stops
Men who are avoidant attachment and are on the younger end, e.g. under 35, tend to feel very stifled and irritated by their preoccupied attachment wife's desire to hang out and spend time together. However, they may regret this when she hits midlife, especially her 40's, because this is often when she grows sick of asking for attention and decides to leave the marriage, emotionally or physically. Then again (as with many avoidant attachment women whose husbands think they will regret not prioritizing the marriage once the kids leave home), this really may never happen, and, when the woman stops pursuing, the couple just splits up or lives parallel lives until the kids leave home. I discuss everything I've seen in this domain in today's episode of the Dr. Psych Mom Show!
