Is one partner in your relationship handling all the mental work to run the house? Who remembers what groceries to buy? Who remember to take out the trash or when the kids have that thing? In this episode, Randy and Beverly talk about the ways that their relationship fell into bad habits and ways to get out again. If you're feeling overwhelmed, maybe it's time to discuss a redistribution of your relationship's mental load. It's a dangerous topic for Head partners so laugh along on this one and find out that you're not alone.
