Being easygoing sounds like a green flag — until it isn't. In this episode, SaVon, Josh, and Antoinette dig into what it really means when one partner consistently defers to the other, and why that dynamic quietly transfers the full mental and emotional load of a relationship onto one person. They get honest about their own patterns — the ones they've created, not just fallen into — and explore how unspoken roles, uneven decision-making, and the pressure to keep the peace can leave both partners feeling unseen, lonely, and stuck in a dynamic that looks like harmony from the outside.
