> which means not criticizing your partner for what he does wrong, but waiting until he does something right and lavishing him with praise for it.

Oh my goodness, this is the biggest problem I see among women. Stop complaining that your husband loaded the dishwasher incorrectly, even if he so totally did. You can either ask him to do it or show him how it's done, not both. This is exactly how we get worn out moms who feel like they have to do everything around the house. If you're that particular, do it yourself, without complaint. If the to-do list is too long, relinquish control, because one too many fights about his laundry method means you're doing it yourself now.

This goes both ways, it's worth mentioning. My husband never complains that I don't mow the lawn, because we both know that would end in the biggest argument, when he thought I did it incorrectly. I don't even know how you can mow a lawn incorrectly.

I agree with that. It's positive reinforcment like in the book "Don't shoot the dog".

Maybe an unpopular opinion but also stop rewarding the rat. You don't need to be sexually available to your boyfriend at all times if he is a weed addicted gamer without a job.

Operant conditioning has been around for over 70 years. It's useful to know about and relevant to motivating animals, kids, and adults.

Regarding Jordan Peterson, it's helpful to recognize he's coming from more of a TradCon position, not Red Pill.
