You’ve been there: the dreaded text fight.

One message gets misread, emotions spike, and suddenly you’re both typing paragraphs instead of actually talking.

In this episode, we’re breaking down a real-life text fight between a couple navigating mismatched sex drives, rejection, and the heavy mental load of parenting. You’ll hear the raw back-and-forth and get our thoughts on what worked, what didn’t, and how to move these conversations toward connection instead of conflict.

💛 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why so many couples end up fighting about sex over text (and why it almost never goes well).

  • Why text is the worst place to argue (and how to get out of the spiral).

  • The hidden emotional needs behind “yes” and “no.”

  • How to express hurt feelings without slipping into blame.

  • How to validate your partner without abandoning your own boundaries.

  • Communication tips that will help you feel heard and understood — even in the heat of the moment.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a text fight with your partner, this one’s for you.
