also if able to financially, hire out help to give partners a break or reduce negative feelings about certain things when both are overloaded and it's not worth the stress or not having enough energy to get things done.
If a dad works all day while mom is taking care of the kids, then comes home to expectations that he "just knows" all the things she cares about, he's not the problem, she is. You need to communicate your exact expectations. "I need you to take care of X, Y, and Z." You can't just assume your husband knows things and blame it on "mental load."
lmao. Dude is like, "No idea what's wrong here. I just want to help create peace." This therapist and wife came up with terminology that is totally un-relatable to him.
