Nobody prepares you for what actually happens when you move in with a man. This episode pulls back the curtain on the everyday chaos, emotional labor, and slow erosion of peace that can come with living with a boyfriend. From weaponized incompetence and boundary-blind behavior to messes that magically aren’t theirs and moods that become your responsibility, we talk about the things women are expected to tolerate, normalize, and “communicate through.”

This isn’t a man-hating rant — it’s an honest conversation about cohabitation, gender roles, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet resentment that builds when love turns into unpaid labor. We explore why so many women feel lonelier living with a man than living alone, how societal conditioning keeps the bar in hell, and what it actually takes to protect your sanity, standards, and sense of self.

If you’ve ever thought, “I was happier before he moved in,” this episode is for you.

Content Warning: discussions of emotional labor, relationship burnout, and gendered expectations.
