Jimmy On Relationships: Default Parenting, The Mental Load, and Navigating an Affair (Revisit)


Listen Later

EP581. Jimmy Knowles, the creator behind the wildly popular TikTok and Instagram account Jimmy on Relationships, joins me for a conversation that is honest, uncomfortable, and incredibly important.

Jimmy opens up about the affair that nearly ended his marriage, how he and his wife chose to rebuild instead of walk away, and why that experience became the catalyst for his deep dive into what actually makes relationships work.

We talk about default parenting, the mental load, emotional labor, and the tools so many men were never taught, but desperately need, to show up as true partners. This is not a “men are trash” episode. It’s a real conversation about growth, accountability, and what it takes to create a partnership where both people feel seen and supported.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying too much at home… or wished your partner understood what it’s really like in your brain… this one will hit.

And yes, you’ll probably be sending this one to your partner.
