get it the virtue. Sometimes you just have to pick a side, all right? So it's the mental

load debate for spouses when it comes to household chores. Sometimes you just got to pick a side.

0:11.3

Yeah, and I want to go ahead and race Cassie because I know this is a sticking point for her when

0:16.4

it comes to mental load. And I saw this audio in a reel and it just, oh, it resonated so hard.

0:24.1

So it's a guy called Jimmy underscore on underscore relationships. And he posted this video

0:30.0

and he's talking to himself, right? He's playing the man and he's playing the woman in this,

1:31.6

things to be different. So don't you think you need to tell me how to make you happy? Well,
