Yes, your spouse may be dealing with a lot right now. You may think it is kind of you to not add anything more to their plate and that you will figure out how to handle it on your own.

Your spouse can sense that something is going on for you. But since you didn’t bring it up, they may be hesitant to ask, or you may be telling them that all is good, when it really isn’t.

Simply talking and listening to each other can help you better connect with each other and be an emotional support, even if you can’t solve the issue right now.
