E228: Breaking Down A Real-Life Text Fight (pt 2.)

You’ve been there: the dreaded text fight. One message gets
misread, emotions spike, and suddenly you’re both typing paragraphs
instead of actually talking. In this episode, we’re breaking down a
real-life text fight between a couple navigating mismatched sex
drives, rejection, and the heavy mental load of parenting. You’ll
hear the raw back-and-forth and get our thoughts on what worked,
what didn’t, and how to move these conversations toward connection
instead of conflict. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why so many
couples end up fighting about sex over text (and why it almost
never goes well). Why text is the worst place to argue (and how to
get out of the spiral). The hidden emotional needs behind “yes” and
“no.” How to express hurt feelings without slipping into blame. How
to validate your partner without abandoning your own boundaries.
Communication tips that will help you feel heard and understood —
even in the heat of the moment. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck
in a text fight with your partner, this one’s for you. Ready to
