In this episode, we explore the quiet ways scorekeeping can creep into relationships and why the healthiest partnerships are rarely ever “even.” What starts as tracking chores or effort is often something deeper: the desire to feel seen, valued, and supported. We talk about how resentment builds when needs go unspoken, how overfunctioning can create imbalance, and why love feels lighter when it’s not weighed down by silent tallying. We also shift the focus from keeping score to creating connection. Through honest reflection and loving confrontation, we unpack what it looks like to move from internal tracking to open communication and how to create a relationship that feels fair, sustainable, and deeply supportive for both people.
