No Images? Click here Last month, we let you know what men often say about their partners in therapy. But we couldn’t leave you hanging without finding out women’s top complaints to their therapists, too. After all, despite the polished version of these problems you may hear from friends, therapists are privy to the raw, unfiltered issues that people encounter in their relationships day in and day out.One common complaint? Many women feel their partners aren’t pulling their weight around the house or with the kids. And even when their partners do pitch in, the mental load still falls on the women’s shoulders.“The mental workload is a real-life phenomenon that refers to the invisible work of being the ‘knower’ and ‘manager’ of the household,” marriage and family therapist Jennifer Chappell Marsh told us. “Women are expected to notice and delegate when the groceries are low, organize the social calendar, plan for child care, schedule doctor appointments, meet school obligations and buy family or friends gifts. Sure, women can ask for their partner’s help, but it still means that they are in the managerial role and they risk being labeled as a ‘nag.’” Here are the other top complaints.Xo, Ashley RockmanIn case you missed it

This is what they told us.Links we love: 👋You may have noticed our website is now www.huffpost.com. Don't worry, it'll still be the same HuffPost you know and love, just with a new URL.
