[quote=Anonymous]It depends what kind of relationship you have. First - remove the word "inept" from your brain. You CANNOT come close to shitting on her chosen partner and think the convo would go well. Her situation is extremely common, as you very well know. The imbalance of the mental load and women having careers at the same time is something we have discussed in my house forever , as I have 2 daughters and come from a long line of strong women (my grandmother worked ft, raised 5 kids back in the 50s - 80s, my mom was the breadwinner and had all of the mental load, I had a career equal to my dh's and also did the vast majority of kid/house stuff for a long time until we were almost at the divorce point). They watched me struggle and watched me & my dh repair it, so I would have no issue raising the concern that she is taking on too much IF SHE FEELS THAT IT'S TOO MUCH. I would more say "I've noticed you haven't had time to go to book club, what's going on?" or "You've been working so hard, let me bring dinner over for you tonight. Is everything going ok at work and home?"  But we also talk every day, text all day, go shopping, spa, etc . [/quote]
