When they just won't do it

Trista Guertin
About this episode

Do you ever feel like you’re the only responsible adult in the house? Maybe it’s an expense report that never gets filed, a tax document that sits on the table for weeks, or a household chore that you keep reminding your partner about.

You ask.

You wait.

You nudge.

And still — nothing happens.

Pretty soon, you’re frustrated, resentful, and wondering: Why am I always the one holding everything together?

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, I’m diving into a common relationship struggle: what to do when your partner doesn’t follow through. You’ll learn:

  • What a “relationship manual” is and why it fuels so much frustration.
  • How to separate facts from the story your brain is spinning.
  • The choices you actually have (that go beyond nagging).
  • A simple way to have an honest, intimate conversation without blame.
  • How to move from resentment to connection in your partnership.

This isn’t about lowering your standards or doing everything yourself. It’s about creating a healthier dynamic where you feel less like a nag, more like a partner, and much more in control of your own experience.

Whether it’s about money, household responsibilities, or simply who takes out the trash, this episode will give you the tools to shift your perspective, reduce your stress, and strengthen your relationship.

Because a daring adventure isn’t about perfect partners — it’s about learning how to navigate the imperfect ones with love, clarity, and confidence.
