Has a romantic partner ever left the "romance" in your relationship up to you because "you're better at it?" Have you ever been expected to handle things around your home or at work because another person claimed they were incapable of doing it well?
This week we're talking about weaponized incompetence, which is a tactic some people use to escape responsibility by claiming that they are incapable. We talk about where this type of behavior shows up, how a patriarchal society has resulted in many traditional relationships experiencing this type of behavior, and what our advice would be for those involved in those relationships.
