I used to be in a similar position. I think a lot of it is "my burden is worse than yours" which is true - but I still think they should listen without judgment, even if your bad day isn't as bad, it's still a partnership and both of you require support
Not a SO, but my housemate is a nurse in a local hospital. They're long shifts, they're emotionally draining. I try to be there for them espeically during the pandemic. I try and make a meal for dinner and schedule it for when they get home. I try and do all the household chores so they don't feel like they're forced to do anything when they get home. Little things add up to a lot.
It's like comparing apples to oranges, in my opinion. Both have stressful factors, but I would have to say someone in healthcare (who is on the front lines) probably has it worse than I do.
Yes I so agree with this. I feel like I can't even bring up the stress of my job to my SO..I just start feeling like I shouldn't have said anything and maybe I don't have it that bad.
I agree, but the virus is still out there and people are still suffering. We definitely have it better than our healthcare workers. I think the worst way to deal with it is to compare our suffering with theirs though. What we feel is separate from them, but still our feelings are valid. Make her feel that you appreciate what she is doing and do something special for her or him
Listen with intent. Sometimes they just need somebody to lean on and an ear to listen. Cook him/her something special.
It's always a big no-no to compare what you're going through with somebody else's difficulties. Put yourself in their shoes
