I Shouldn’t Have to Ask: When Relationships Feel One-Sided — Alyson and Tripp Lanier

Are you tired of being the one who just handles everything?

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I shouldn’t have to ask for help”?

Or are you on the other side feeling like no matter what you do, it’s never enough?

Today Alyson and I discuss what’s really happening when things don’t feel fair in a relationship. We explore why score-keeping poisons a partnership, how doing whatever they want makes you a burden, and why complaining and nagging aren’t going to solve the problem.

In this conversation:

  • Why your sex life and professional opportunities are dying
  • Seeking fairness in relationships
  • Feeling resentful of others for not pulling their weight
  • Complacency and “complacency-creep”
  • Coasting and doing just enough to get by

Plus:

  • The Drama Triangle
  • Why are these people allowed to be in your life?
  • Do you make it hard to be helped?
  • “I shouldn’t have to ask for help”
  • Choosing to be an adult or a child in the relationship
