Anyone else put up some hard boundaries at work and get up level pushback? Like I have a hard stop at 5:30-8:30 to take care of my toddler and if they need me to work weekends I need to know by Thursday so I can set up childcare. IMO if you bristle at these boundaries it’s a clear sign you’re a dinosaur and not as modern or flexible as you claim to be.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

We both love that he is getting enough sleep and well rested on one hand. On the other hand, we are now wondering if he is sleeping way too much.. contd…

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
