How to Stop Fighting About His Ex and Start Working Together With Your Partner
11 November 2025
You've had another fight about her.
He's shut down, you're exhausted, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you're wondering if your relationship can survive this.
Every text from her becomes another argument between you. Every time you try to set a boundary, he defends her or goes silent.
Before you know it, you're fighting each other instead of fighting for each other. And slowly, the stress starts to erode what you've built.
But that doesn’t have to be your story.
This episode walks you through exactly how to build a united front with your partner so you can stop fighting about his ex and start working together to protect your relationship.
This isn't about perfection – it's about partnership.
