Tag: micro-manager

You come from work and your first verbal exchange with your spouse isn’t: "How was your day?"

It’s, "Are the kids’ rooms cleaned?" "Did you read my list and go to the grocery store as I asked?" "Do I have to do everything around here myself?"

Does this happen in your household? If yes, it could be that you or your spouse is a micromanager. What does that mean? Micromanaging is a form of anxiety that manifests as controlling behavior. The micromanager feels compelled to have their hands into everything and doesn’t really trust that their spouse will pull their weight or accomplish tasks.
