#40: You’re Not Just Tired—You’re Carrying Everything: The Mental Load in Marriage

  • Resumen

  • Talk to Nichole and Ben.

    You love each other. You share a life, maybe a mortgage, probably kids… but lately it feels like your relationship has turned into a never-ending to-do list.

    In this episode, Nichole and Ben are talking about the invisible weight so many long-term partners carry—the mental load. From meal planning to dentist appointments to remembering every single birthday card, one partner often becomes the default “manager” of the household. And that imbalance doesn’t just cause exhaustion—it kills intimacy and breeds quiet resentment.

    Research shows that mothers take on over 70% of the mental load, even in homes where both parents work full time. That’s not just unfair—it’s unsustainable.

    Nichole breaks down what the mental load actually is, how it slowly shifts your relationship dynamic, and what couples can do to rebalance the emotional labour and reconnect as equals—not co-workers.

    If you’ve ever thought, “We’re fine… but I’m exhausted”—this episode is for you.
