You’re Telling Me a Ball Chained This Marriage?

from That's A Choice

You’re telling me a ball and chain is currently dragging my husband down? In this episode of That’s a Choice, I’m joined by my husband, Tyler, to dissect the absolutely bizarre metaphors we use for marriage.We’re taking a hard look at the "I Hate My Spouse" culture and why society is so obsessed with making commitment sound like a prison sentence. We dive into the "Just Wait 10 Years" brigade and why we’ve chosen to protect our spark instead of letting it fizzle by default. We also discuss our "Social Contract"—the choice to keep our relationship private and why "venting" to others can actually be a choice to sabotage.If you actually like your partner, this episode is for you.Subscribe to the Side-Eye Society today. Because that's a choice, and it's the best one you'll make all week!Trigger Warning: We do briefly discuss the topic of our miscarriage between 33:04 and 34:00. We don't go into detail about the experience, just how Tyler helped me through it and how we made it out stronger in the end. Just wanted to throw that in there in case anyone has a trigger with the topic!
