Arguing about chores instead of talking about how tired you are
By mid‑March many couples find themselves looping through the same argument about dishes, laundry or who works more. On the surface it is about tasks, but underneath there is often a deep sense of feeling unseen and taken for granted. In online couples therapy we slow down these quick fights enough to hear what each of you is really trying to say. We look at the moment when a simple request turns into an attack and when defence turns into withdrawal. Together we practise a different way of bringing up needs and limits that does not immediately trigger shame or anger. We also explore your individual stress loads, so that you can negotiate responsibilities from reality rather than from resentment. When both partners feel constantly exhausted, neither of you has to be the villain for conflict to appear. If you are tired of fighting about who does more, an online session can help shift the conversation toward what you both actually need.
