Having other people to lean on about these things is essential so as not to overburden each other. Or else pretty soon your each other's agony aunt/uncle and the spark fizzles out of the relationship.

Being able to share is fine, but letting each other know that you /they r not a crutch, that you'll manage just fine if they have their own stuff to deal with is really reassuring.

Just takes a little practice and self control but it's doable.

Of course we want to be there for our SO but maintaining our own mental well-being is vital to a healthy relationship.

Best of luck. Hope things get easier soon.
