Psychiatrists are kinda famous within mental health fields for really struggling with empathy. They're deeply entrenched in the disease model, which isn't super compatible with clients' lived experiences, and med school is....a lot.

Finding a therapist you vibe with can help (though I'm biased as hell, being a therapist myself). It doesn't fix things, necessarily, but it can at least make you feel like you're not shouting into the wind.

These kind of ideals are so couple dependent. Some people are very willing to compromise and work it out with each other to find a middle ground, because they love and respect each other.

Love and respect and open dialogue are the keys. Everything else just makes the first three points easier.

In the modern world, with social media pressures and "internet advice" and the increase in narcissism makes respect and compromise very difficult for many.

Gotta say working on an anticoagulation clinic I'm really hoping my patients I need to bridge off warfarin with a LMWH don't think this applies to them. The title is a bit overgeneralized, like you said, very specific population

Been married for 10 years now as someone who's 37 years old (bit of an anomaly these days). Professionally I was the main bread winner for awhile but my wife wanted to go further with her career but we didn't want to sacrifice raising our kids ourselves. We were both raised by parents where both the man and woman had full time intensive careers that took most of their time while we were younger so it was important for us to not that do that ourselves. I've adjusted to doing what would be largely considered the mom's role by handling home school and house stuff (though she ends up cleaning after me half the time heh). We're both quite happy and proud to say that our kids have grown into teenagers with good heads on their shoulders. It's important to be flexible with each other and not let culture dictate what your role should be IMO. Wife is close to finishing her MBA soon and likely is going to make more than I would have in IT anyway so it panned out.

Been the house person, cleaning, grocery shipping, researching, saving money on purchases, that kind of stuff.

Fiance still grew to despise Dru over time anyway, because despite working constantly every day with no breaks, she didn't see it that way, and just saw a leech. Didn't matter how much was contributed.
