If you've ever handed your partner a list and felt quietly furious that you had to write it in the first place — this one's for you.Alex Trippier is a couples coach, host of the Be a Happier Parent podcast, and a dad who spent years studying why parenthood quietly dismantles relationships from the inside out. In this episode we get into cognitive labour and why your brain genuinely cannot switch off, the bumbler versus superhero parent dynamic, weaponised incompetence, and his concept of relationship prehab — the conversations you need to have before the resentment fully beds in.Honest, research-backed, and the episode you'll be sending to your partner by the end.Find Alex at @alextrippier on Instagram and his podcast Be a Happier Parent wherever you listen.Follow us on:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/motherloading_x?igsh=d3JkM3lseDNhNnM1TikTok - @motherloading_podProduced by TAEPodcast - www.taepodcast.co.uk
