If I were to apply this to my current relationship, and it's something small like planting tulips , it just won't get done. And if it's something big and emotionally charged like a Thanksgiving dinner, he will say something like, "What do you mean? How can I help?" and I'll repeat myself, and he will say "so in other words you don't want to do it. Sorry my family is such an inconvenience for you. Just forget I even brought it up."

As an eldest daughter it’s the surrendering control of the outcome for me

A little more direct, but when my husband says “remind me…..” I just say “no” lol

I started by not buying his family birthday and Christmas gifts. Then I stopped sending Christmas cards to anyone except my friends. Then I stopped doing his laundry, then I stopped cooking for him. Then I stopped shopping for food for him. Then I left him. It was a great idea

As an older wife and mother - may all the young women find this content and let them start their adult lives with this mentality

I never say, "Let me know if I can help." That invites more labor. "Sounds good." is a perfectly fine and complete response from me.

My husband JUST texted me to look for Clorox wipes and put them by the door for him so he remembers to bring them to work. Immediately thought of your video and texted him back telling him to put a reminder in his phone so he remembers

I recently told my husband that for the last 9 years I haven’t ordered the kind of pizza I like bc he likes sausage and my bonus son likes cheese. He didn’t ask me to do that but I realized I do this for EVERYONE in my life. I jump into action to make everyone comfortable at all times, even at my own expense. At 44 I’m not doing that anymore.

My favorite line is “I love when you take care of things and I trust your decisions” it works every time. He now plans everything!

The craziest part about learning to decenter your partner, is most of the time no one asked you to do it in the first place. Very eye opening

My husband will say something about needing something from the store and I’ll say “thank goodness the store is opened for you as well.” ☺️

Thank you for this. I watched this last night, then an hour or so later my husband said that he needed to find a bag to pack for his trip he was leaving on this morning. Normally, I would have found a bag for him, made sure he had clean laundry ect. I will be honest. I started to do that. I said "Oh the striped bag......" then I remembered this video and finished with "I am sure you are capable of finding it.". Then I asked "Do you need to do any laundry?". He said he needed a couple shirts washed. Normally, I would have done the laundry and made sure he didn't need more than shirts washed. Instead I said "Well, if you happen to wash those can you throw my jeans in too?" I woke up to him long gone on his trip and my clean jeans in the dryer. But, wow in that moment last night my anxiety was THROUGH THE ROOF.
