If all you want is less conflict, some of the things you're doing to keep the peace may actually be creating more of it.
In this episode, I'm breaking down how dismissive avoidant attachment can show up in mental load fights and why conversations about household responsibilities, emotions, or unmet needs can feel so frustrating for both partners. If you've ever thought, "Just tell me what you need," wondered why nothing you do seems to be enough, or wanted the conversation to simply be over, this episode is for you.
We'll look at the patterns that can keep these same arguments repeating and the shifts that can help you create more connection, less resentment, and the kind of peace you're actually looking for in your marriage.
Tune in to discover:
• How dismissive avoidance can fuel mental load fights
• Why trying to avoid conflict can create even more of it
• The mental load patterns you may not realize you're repeating
• The surprising connection between mental load and intimacy
• What can help the same arguments finally stop repeating
