What happens when you feel like you’re doing all (or most of) the work in a relationship? Workload imbalance is not a new issue but the demands that the pandemic has put on people has elevated this situation to a new level. Jonathan and Christine talk about how to handle and communicate about workload imbalance, both from an internal perspective and also tactically. They discuss internal awareness, recalibrating around to-do lists, communicating about how people process information, dealing with mind-reader syndrome, and actively working on helping everyone get one thing they need in a day.
