Hi Capgemini people, Till 15th November we have to declare our vaccination status so that they can plan back to office for the employees who are fully vaccinated or having report of not having covid. I am Fully vaccinated but if I declare that I am partially vaccinated will they get to know my bluff? Actually I am not much interested to go back to office as of now may be in february it will be fine for me

At face value: If it sparks a fight, then your partner has even more work to do than just mental load. I’ve learned to not opt into the fight, it’s a boundary I’ve learned to make in my marriage. If they have a melt down and lose it, that’s their own issue and I don’t have to mother him to make it palatable.
It’s possible there are other details I’m obviously not privy to which could mean it sparks a fight because it hasn’t been equitable for them for a long time and they got burnt out etc but that’s a side point if irrelevant.
Been married for 10 years now. Never has it been 50-50 in terms of load (emotional, financial, familial..) distribution between me and my partner. Sometimes its 80-20, other times its 20-80. When I feel ‘burnt out’, here is what has worked for me - Just be authentic, empathetic and solution-oriented in your conversation. Keep reminding yourself (and share your intent with your partner too!) why you are in this relationship and how much you want it to work!! It is just a matter of taking out time to share and listen intently. It will all work out!!
It’s sounds like this isn’t how it’s always been or has it been like this since the beginning of your relationship.
Increased stress can sometimes rob us of being able to identify what tasks to prioritize esp if those things are easily overlooked in the first place. Go into the conversation with a neutral stance. Let him know you need help. Take it from there. Good luck!
Let it go !!
