Dr. Solomon explores the common underfunctioning/overfunctioning dynamic in long-term partnerships. She talks about why many couples fall prey to these roles, whether as a result of cultural messaging or family-of-origin scripts, and she shares strategies for breaking free from this dance so that the relationship can feel more balanced.
