Its been a while since we checked with you here at Me After You.
Life can get hectic—between chores, work, and managing the mental load, it's easy for connection with your partner to slip down the priority list. Before you know it, you might find yourselves in the "roommate phase."
On a recent episode of our parenting podcast This Glorious Mess we explored the telltale signs of the roommate phase and shared tips on how to reconnect. We also had a dad, bring his own perspective on navigating the roommate dynamic in relationships.
And to wrap things up, we have a song that might just hit you right in the feels.
You can read Bek Day's Mamamia article 'I coach married parents through the "roommate phase". Here's the 2 day experiment I swear by.'

Introducing our new podcast, Restart. If you like what you hear, search Restart wherever you get your podcasts...
Two years ago, Madeleine West hit restart on her life. She packed up her life in Melbourne and moved to Byron Bay, split up with her partner of 15 years and the father of her six kids and she started life again. And now she wants to find out why and how women from across the country are restarting their lives. For 10 weeks, Restart will look into why more and more women are pressing refresh on their lives, and how the hell they’ve done it. From divorce to health, to appearance, to career, to sex. Restart, it’s never too late to change everything.

Going from one to two, you think it's going to be easy, right?
But then it happens and it's not at all what you anticipated.
No one tells you that each pregnancy, each birth and each kid is going to be different.
The second time around for Laura Byrne was a completely different ball game. Laura learnt that Marlie-Mae was an 'easy baby', pregnancy and postpartum was a whole lot harder and that adding another kid isn't double the work, it's triple.
Holly Wainwright sits down with Laura for a very honest conversation about her very busy year, going from one to two.
