Nothing kills attraction faster than having to parent the person you married.

In this episode of Why I Hate Being a Wife, we talk about the mother-child dynamic that quietly forms in so many marriages — where you’re not a partner, you’re the manager.

The reminders.

The delegating.

The follow-up.

The “Just tell me what to do.”

The helplessness that somehow only shows up at home.

And then everybody wants to act confused when intimacy dies.

We’re talking about:

What “managing your partner” really looks like

Why it’s exhausting and unfair

How it destroys respect and desire

Why “just ask” is not partnership

What needs to change if a marriage is going to survive

Because I didn’t get married to raise a grown man.
