Is it unreasonable to want one lazy day a week? Should your mother-in-law have a key to your house without you knowing? And can your husband dip into the kitchen fund for a vintage motorcycle if he promises it'll "go up in value"?
In this episode of The Beyond I Do Podcast, Byron and Margaret react to three real "Am I being unreasonable?" stories from married couples. We talk about the husband who treats every weekend like a second job, the wife who came home to find her mother-in-law unloading groceries in her kitchen, and the couple $5,000 away from a kitchen reno when a "once in a lifetime" bike shows up.
Three different problems. One common thread: when you make agreements as a team, you keep them as a team. Marriage is for adults.
What we cover:
- Why "resting" isn't the same as "not helping"
- Passive-aggressive vacuuming (yes, it's a thing)
- Boundaries with in-laws and why the conversation starts with your spouse, not their mama
- Yours, mine, and ours money — and what happens when someone breaks the deal
- How small broken agreements quietly chip away at trust
