Melissa - this was the story of my life when I was married....feeling the weight and the burden of everything on my shoulders. My husband was a fantastic provider, but I too worked and I needed the help. He could never understand. His response was to outsource and hire help, but there were things I wanted us as parents to do and be there for our children. E.g., tuck them in bed.

End of day - there needs to be enough understanding and "give" and "take" so that one supports the other through that overwhelming feeling. That's meeting each other halfway- figuratively.

I tried to show it visually to him. I came up with an equation chart....which I share in my initial post. https://medium.com/modern-women/did-you-get-the-equation-right-with-your-partner-fa2cb60ddc49
