He's not doing nothing.
He's mowing the lawn. Picking up dinner. Handling his side of things.
He's doing what he's always done.
But now? It doesn't feel like enough—because it isn't.
The load changed. You changed. The needs changed.
And the marriage? It didn't evolve.

What used to feel like partnership now feels like a checklist.

This is Episode 2 of the series:
"Marriage Conversations Midlife Besties Are Having (But Afraid to Say Out Loud)."
Let's dive in.
