Ep. 128: I Don't Have a Name For This Dynamic Other Than Marriage Shutdown

Dela

One partner feels like they have to carry everything. The other feels like nothing they do is ever enough. Over time, both people start pulling away, resentment grows, and the marriage begins to shut down.


In this episode, I'm unpacking a relationship pattern I see over and over again with the couples I coach. We explore how this dynamic develops after having kids, why neither partner intentionally creates it, and the practical shifts each person can make to stop the cycle before it leads to burnout, disconnection, or divorce.


Tune in to discover:


• The dynamic that creates marriage shutdown

• Why one partner feels like they can't opt out

• How resentment and burnout fuel disconnection

• What each spouse can do to break the cycle

• Why changing your side can transform your marriage
