An insightful comic about the undiscussed mental load women take on in a relationship with a man. If you ever find yourself nagging, or doing most of the work because it's too much energy to constantly tell the other person what to do or a man just puts his feet up and doesn't even see any of the mess and he's just on his xbox playing Apex Legends, you'll relate to this comic.

That comic is great! I also like a lot of her other comics, like this one about the experience of being a new mother: https://english.emmaclit.com/2017/06/04/holidays/
I loved that comic and bring it up at every opportunity!
Have mixed feelings about the companion article though. Especially when he equates putting away dishes to "a meaningful act of love and sacrifice". Like bro it's a fucking glass. If you think you have to *love* someone enough to *sacrifice* your time to do basic chores in your own home, you ain't it. I'm glad she left him because he still sounds like a manchild to me.
