In that podcast, MeMe brought up her breastfeeding Alexa, yet again... She sounded so resentful about it, no wonder she never misses a chance to bring it up. She wanted her and Alex to be equals when it came to parenting and obviously this is something that Alex couldn't do.
I can just imagine their arguments at the time.
Meems: I want to go to whole foots, and I want to go and look at the leaves at the park and take pictures of people's doors, but I can't because I have to breastfeed Alexa. You can't do that, things are not equal.
Cutie Alex: throws a fit and starts throwing pillows at the wall.
I do agree with them that a couple should agree on their goals for the future. This is something where they were aligned when they met. However, what a couple also needs at the start is mutual, physical attraction as well. Alex did find MeMe attractive but not vice versa. She turned him down several times because she couldn't even imagine a relationship with him. He kind of wore her down.
No wonder they have zero chemistry... her calling him a "cutie" is just this idea of a perfect relationship that she is trying to sell... but it's so easy to see their relationship is anything but perfect.
To be fair she resented breastfeeding or the fact that they couldn't be equal as parents but she is the one who insisted on not giving a bottle to Alexa. She could have pumped. You got to do what you got to do to take care of your mental health.
Now that she's not breastfeeding anymore, what is their excuse for having this unequal parenting? Alex takes care of Alex in the morning that's about it (don't even know if he still does that). He does not foodshop, because Meme wants to buy fresh food from the shop whereas he would have it delivered directly to the house. So Meme has to do it.
Meme probably see their relationship as balanced as it's organised a certain way that accommodates everyone. Alex takes care of the logistics of their lives, Meme takes care of the day to day mundane things (Alexa is a mundane thing for Alex).
And they also went on, of course when talking about their perfect relationship, about the bingo theory again. Their favorite masculine and féminine energy just sound like basic compatibility tests 101. Traits of characters that complete each other that's all it is. To call it revolutionary lol... Même is still describing herself like this very assertive, straightforward, no bullshit person, although we still don't have exemples of how this shows up in their day to day life. All I can imagine is people constantly show her a bunch of options and she makes the final decision ''because it' s her strenght". Or Alex letting her make decisions on things he doesn't care about.
Also, apparently Meme is very much the type to walk away when Alex is "criticizing" her/giving her feedback that doesn't flatter her ego, and not talk to him, and it annoys Alex very much as he is the type to always want to talk through things (I can just imagine how slappable his face must be on he there trying to get through her with his disgusting slurring pronunciation and dumb face). Honestly, given he eyes on 18 years old girl and doesn't look after Alexa, I don't care how much he brings home, he deserves the silent treatment (and more) so you go on Meme!
