Husband admits he was clueless about gender roles and the internet cannot stop applauding
TikTok husband sparks debate on mental load
Fisher, often seen filming from his car in deep thought, reflected on how early in their marriage, he would pack for holidays while his wife frantically vacuumed, did the laundry, and handled the chaos. Back then, he casually dismissed her labour as something she simply "wanted" to do.
But reality hit him hard: "Looking back, how could I possibly think that was okay?" he admitted.
The parenting shift that changed everything
Things worsened when children entered the picture. Fisher acknowledged how he replicated his own father's behaviour by looking after his personal needs while his partner handled the rest. It was not just a family tradition, it was an emotional blind spot. He had to unlearn what he saw growing up and rewire his thinking from the ground up.
Women on TikTok say, 'finally someone gets it'
His confessions lit up the comment section. Women from all walks of life flooded in with virtual standing ovations and painfully relatable stories. Many said they had never cleaned or planned trips because they "wanted to," but because no one else stepped up.
Fisher is now being hailed as a rare example of a man who "evolved and saw the light."
Expert warnings on subtle toxicity in relationships
Adding to the conversation, psychologist Dr. Mark Travers explained how even innocent-sounding compliments like, "You are always so calm," can fuel emotional suppression. Another red flag? "You're the only person I can talk to,' it may sound romantic but often signals unhealthy emotional dependency.
Josh Fisher might not have had it figured out back then, but the internet agrees: at least now, he is doing the work.

Kelly Clarkson breaks down into tears onstage days before ex Brandon Blackstock's death in resurfaced video
Kelly Clarkson stood under the stage lights, holding back tears. It was July 26, during her Las Vegas Studio Session residency, and a TikTok video from that night has now taken on new weight. Just 12 days later, her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, would be gone. According to People, the clip, shared by a fan present at her concert, shows Clarkson, 43, introducing a reworked version of her 2015 song Piece by Piece. She pauses mid-sentence, dabbing at her eyes. 'Compartmentalization!' she half-laughed, half-pleaded with herself, trying to keep it together before diving into the story behind the changes. Kelly Clarkson gets emotional while performing, few days before ex's death.(X) How has the song kept evolving? Clarkson told the crowd she has never rewritten a track more than this one. The original version, released two years after marrying Blackstock, was a pointed message to her estranged father - and a nod to Blackstock as a better partner and father figure. That meaning shifted after their 2020 split. 'I wrote this song with a lot of hope and projection for happiness… and then, well, life set in,' she said. After a 2023 lyric change that addressed their divorce, she's now updated it again. 'I'm 43. I've done some therapy, and I changed the lyrics now and I think it's perfect. I promise. I'm not gonna change it again,' she added. Her reasoning? Growth. 'It just represents… I feel like we grow up, right? And this is the more grown-up version of it," she said. She admitted one earlier rewrite 'sounded a little angry' and wanted something truer to where she is now. Piece by Piece new lyrics In 2023, she sang: 'I just walk away, when they ask for money. I take care of me 'cause I love me. Piece by piece I restored my faith that a heart can still beat even when it breaks' - seen by many as a reference to financial disputes in their split. Also read: Will Brandon Blackstock's death impact The Kelly Clarkson Show season 7? Here's what we know In the latest version, Clarkson's voice carries different lines: 'I'm learning every day how to love me. I let go of the shame that you taught me. Piece by piece, I restored the faith that a heart can still beat even if it breaks.' Blackstock died on Aug. 7 from cancer at 48. He and Clarkson shared two children - daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9 - along with his two older kids from a previous relationship. A day before his death, Clarkson postponed her remaining Vegas shows. 'I need to be fully present for them,' she said of her children. A source told People she's 'been devastated' for them. 'Kelly has always tried to keep things classy… She's been devastated for the kids.' FAQs Q: What is Kelly Clarkson diagnosed with?
