How do you and your partner share the ick that comes with living life?

If you loved me…you’d eat my sh*t sandwich. We got this map from our parents who were willing to change our diaper, clean up our messes, and cook all our meals. But this expectation—that true love=eating life’s sh*t sandwiches—will surely kill your romance.

Today, we discuss sh*t sandwiches and how they can pollute your relationship:

1. I’ll define the term and help you see why they’re unavoidable to some degree
2. I’ll give you the reasons you wish your partner would eat those that really belong to you
3. And I’ll give you a date night discussion to help you and your partner identify the sh*t sandwiches in your relationship as well as a habit to help you make them go down easier

Warning: today’s episode includes repetition of a word that may not be suitable for young ears. If you’re listening with your little one, consider ear buds, or waiting for a later time.

Habit for Your Happily Ever After

This week's habit for your happily ever after is to improve the taste of your shit sandwiches. Here are three options:

• Reframe
• Say "Thank you"
• Take one for the team

Date Night Discussion

Sometimes it’s good just to know the sh*t sandwiches in your partner’s life because there might come a moment when you can help them avoid eating one, and man does that send love your partner’s direction.

So, chat with your partner:

• Explain the idea of a sh*t sandwich, 
• tell them about your 3 worst, 
• then ask them what their 3 worst sh*t sandwiches are.
