Picture this: You recently started a new job and your boss has explicitly told you that you are a superstar. As a result, they keep tasking you with more & more responsibilities, so much so that you find yourself working 60-hour work weeks. In addition, your partner and you had agreed that they would take over some household responsibilities to offset your workload. However, every day when you get home from work the dishes are stacked up in the sink and the dog is going crazy because it hasn't been walked. You NEED things to change -- both at work and with your partner -- and you feel dread at the idea of both saying no to your boss and asking your partner for more support (again).
