Hank and Olivia have been married for a year, but they’ve always had very different work schedules. Olivia manages a high-end restaurant and goes in around 3pm and works until closing.

Chris is upset that his wife Aubrey, who is a stay at home mom, goes to yoga classes three nights per week after he gets home from work, and now wants to add a Sunday afternoon book club to her “self care” time. He thinks it isn’t fair that she gets to do all these things under the guise of “taking care of herself” just because she’s home with their three young children during the day. That means he just has to come home and put the kids to sleep which is a lot after a long day at work. She says that she dips out for a max of two hours, and it helps keep her healthy and sane. Do you think four “self care” periods a week is too much? (32:57)
