    Everyone has their own emotional Labor to do, why should anyone else (who’s not a therapist) be expected to do yours?

    Because part of a healthy relationship involves sharing with your partner and helping them through their struggles, emotional or otherwise?

      Sharing and expressing feelings is a normal part of a relationship, but expecting your SO to also be your own personal therapist is completely unhealthy

      I literally said that. The difference is sharing your own progress in a healthy way compared to expecting your SO to do the progress for you
