Anxiety while husband in his own world

Does anyone else feel totally on edge the whole time, worrying about everything, sorting everything, juggling everything, trying to be proactive, while their partner just has the ability to stare into space and not worry about anything ? Snores his head off while I lie awake worrying about everything? Is this the usual scenario ??? Because I didn't sign up for this .Angry

What do you mean? Everyone had different levels of anxiety

I know what you mean and well done for reaching out for support and noticing that something is not right.
there are two things here, firstly maybe you are not sharing the mental load fairly, but secondly and most importantly, the anxiety is not healthy and it's not his responsibility.
The anxiety is your feelings going round and round and not being resolved. I found counselling really helpful, mostly joint, but you can have it yourself. It's very difficult to know what to suggest from this position, but your feeling is telling you something important about yourself, but until you can understand what it is it's harder to change things.
Good luck, you've done well to realise something is wrong, good luck on your journey.
