#80: AITA: My Partner Says They'll 'Work On Us' But Won't Tell Me How

Season 2 Episode 80

Talk to Nichole and Ben.

In this episode of Love for Life, Nichole and Ben dissect a frustratingly familiar relationship dynamic: the partner who promises to "work on us" but refuses to define what that actually means. When a listener's husband declares his New Year's resolution is to improve their relationship yet gets defensive about specifics, the hosts explore why vague promises are often just procrastination with better PR.

This episode is essential listening for anyone whose partner says they'll "try harder" without a plan, anyone who's been asking for couples therapy only to be told "we don't need it," or anyone exhausted from being the only one actively working on their relationship. Nichole and Ben break down the difference between relationship coaching and therapy, reveal why 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by February, and explain what "working on us" should actually look like in practice. 

If you've ever felt like you're getting lip service instead of real commitment from your partner, this episode will help you demand the specifics you deserve or recognise when it's time to stop negotiating with someone who won't meet you halfway.
