Scenario

When couples have different approaches to caring for aging parents

My partner and I both have elderly parents who need more care and we're trying to make decisions together but we keep getting stuck because my approach is to research everything thoroughly and theirs is to just start helping and figure it out as we go. We're both stressed and starting to resent each other's ways of handling this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love each other discover that their fundamental ways of meeting crisis create friction rather than collaboration.
