Everyone has stress in their relationships that isn’t necessarily related to the relationship itself. Whether it’s jobs, kids, friendships, family, money, health, whatever life throws at you.

Do you let the “other half” of your relationship handle their own stress level, or do you jump in and try to help? How do you each communicate you need help? Do they need to ask directly? Do you jump in if you notice stress on their part? How long would you let either party stress before making changes?

I’m looking for other perspectives and methods that have worked for you or that you’ve appreciated from others.

Thanks!
