As much as we want our relationship to be 50/50, often times it isn’t. Most of the times, everyday tasks are split between the both of us.
The question is, what tasks do you feel comfortable taking over and which do you leave for your partner to do.
In this episode we talk all about our relationships and tasks we dread and tend to leave for our partners to complete instead.
Do you avoid any of the same tasks we do?

Oftentimes we find ourselves not sharing any sort of positive commentary. Whether it be a compliment, a comment letting someone know the impact they had on you, or simply letting someone know you relate with them and that they are not alone. Anything positive you may have to share with anyone is a great way to help put more positivity out into the world. Whether you share on social media or with your close family and friends, positive commentary is a way to connect with others and not let words go unspoken that can shed some light to someone else's life.
