Does anyone have any practical advice?
DH and I keep bringing each other down into our misery. He has lost his job and is desperately hunting. He’ll get himself upset about it and then I end up upset too... And then the next day I start worrying about it and drag him down too. Once upon a time one of us would stay strong and say some reassuring words to the other. Lockdown has also encouraged us to take on some projects in the house and that will wind one of us up, and we’ll then drag the other one into it. I feel like the answer should be “it doesn’t matter, it’s only a bit of paint on the walls” but we both seem to have lost the ability to do that.
It’s a bit “misery loves company” and I miss the supportive relationship we generally have.
Where are we going wrong?
