Married After Kids

Ep. 124: Dealing with Resentment In Your Marriage


Listen Later

Resentment rarely shows up overnight. It builds slowly through the missed conversations, the unspoken disappointments, the unequal load, and the feeling that you're carrying more than your fair share. Before you know it, that resentment can start coloring everything in your marriage.


In this episode, I'm digging into one of the most common and damaging challenges couples face after having kids: resentment. We explore why it develops, why it can feel so difficult to shake, and the everyday patterns that keep it growing beneath the surface.

If you've ever found yourself feeling irritated, disconnected, unappreciated, or wondering why small things seem to bother you so much, this conversation will help you understand what's really going on and what you can do about it before resentment takes over your relationship.


Tune in to discover:


• Why resentment is often the result of hundreds of small moments, not one big event

• How mental load and unequal responsibility fuel resentment in marriage

• The role unmet needs and expectations play in creating disconnection

• Why feeling unappreciated can have such a powerful impact on your relationship

• What resentment is trying to tell you and how to address it before it leads to marriage shutdown
