Sinopsis

This week’s question is:  Is it reasonable to ask someone to care about certain things as much as you do?   In this conversation, Tracey and Cayly are talking about emotional labor in relationships and how to approach this topic in a partnership when it feels like one person is carrying more of the load.   Enjoy this episode and, as always, please consider leaving a review or 5-star rating in iTunes if you’re a fan of a show.
