Your Loser Boyfriend Is Ruining Your Health

🎙️ Your boyfriend could be hurting your health, and science backs it up. We’ll break down how a typical heterosexual relationship, from moving in to midlife, can cost women sleep, money, and well-being. Everything here is based on real research, not just opinions.

🛒 Stage one: moving in. First, we discuss the “split everything 50/50” talk, even though it rarely works out that way. Studies show women lose sleep sharing a bed with a guy (and often sleep better with their dog). We also look at new research on women doing all the emotional work, and the burnout it causes.

🏠 Stages two and three, long-term and kids. We cover the 7 extra hours of housework a week, kinkeeping, sleep divorce, and the mental load of noticing and checking.

🩺 Here’s the tough midlife truth: If a woman gets seriously sick, she’s six times more likely to be left than a man. Older women also face a bigger super gap and more housing insecurity.

🛠️ We talk fixes, too: split bills fairly, try the Fair Play method, use separate blankets before separate rooms, let snorers face the music, and more.

💛 Not all men are like this of course, but also no gold stars for the bare minimum. This is a love letter to the men who show up, and a wake-up call for the women whose partners don’t.
