Summary
Solo episode alert! This is more than any regular solo episode, though, because today I'm super excited to share a chapter from my upcoming book, The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage.
The book comes out on December 26th, but in this episode, you're getting a sneak peek as I read Chapter 3, "Why Are Women so Unhappy in Their Marriages? How Marriage Exhausts Women and Benefits Men."
This chapter explores how systemic issues and inequalities play a significant role in marriage. The unequal distribution of responsibilities, including domestic labor, emotional labor, and the "mental load," places a substantial burden on women within these partnerships. No wonder women are exhausted!
Also, in this chapter (and episode), I explore one of my favorite topics, Not Your Fucking Job™. For example, it is not your fucking job to tell a grown-ass human being that the laundry needs to be done or that dinner needs to be made, or that the kids need a bath, or that you're out of toothpaste.
I hope you enjoy this special episode and Chapter Three of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage. There's so much information that I am passionate about and want you to have, and I've tried to cover it all in this book. The D Word is dedicated to my son, but it is also dedicated to women everywhere. It's dedicated to you because you, my love, deserve to be happy.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Divorce Survival Guide podcast, where we have open and honest conversations about co-parenting, separation, divorce, and the hardest question of all, should you stay or should you go. |
| 0:17.8 | I'm Kate Anthony, your divorce survival guide, and I'm here to help you navigate some of |
| 0:23.3 | the roughest waters you've ever swum in and answer some of your toughest questions. I've been to |
| 0:29.1 | hell and back, and now it's my mission in life to help you get to the other side of this process |
| 0:35.1 | with your sanity and your heart intact. |
| 0:41.7 | Hey everyone, welcome back. So today is a solo episode. I haven't done one of these in a while, |
| 0:49.3 | but it's more than a solo episode. It's actually the official launch of the presale push for my book. |
| 1:01.8 | So as you all know, the D word. Making the ultimate decision about your marriage comes out December 26th. |
| 1:10.2 | And as I told you last week I am doing a reading |
| 1:15.5 | from the book this week I also want to talk to you a little bit about some of the bonuses that |
| 1:23.3 | you get so with the pre-orders you can sign up my website. I'll tell you all about it and how to do |

| 1:38.6 | there are special bonuses available to you. If you bought two copies, there are other bonuses available to you. |
| 1:47.0 | And if you bought 10 or more, God love you, there are other bonuses available. Now, really the people |
| 1:55.5 | who are going to be buying 10 or more copies, hopefully, will be people that are in the divorce industry. |
| 2:03.5 | People like divorce attorneys and therapists. |
| 2:07.4 | And if you are among my audience right now, if anyone who is a professional who has people |
| 2:14.6 | coming to them, you know, with attorneys, people come before they've made the |
| 2:19.9 | decision. They're still trying to decide, right? As I recommend in my work, like, if you're, |
| 2:25.0 | if you're trying to decide, like, go to an attorney, find out what your rights are. Let's, like, |
| 2:29.0 | get the ball rolling in terms of just, you need to know certain things before you can make this |
| 2:33.5 | decision, right? So I would |
