Anyone else feeling the strain?

At the moment I really feel under strain.

At a high level we have some ongoing issues to do with our property that are taking up huge amounts of my time to manage. It is easier if I sort and mange this work than trying to do it with DP.

My partner is great, not in the mumsnet sense of I’ve been treated badly and now i have a partner that takes the bins out, so i feel like I am with a prince, he is genuinely great, BUT….

He’s had a troubled and abusive childhood and many things are triggering. Just a simple question about past relationships can cause a problem and ne considered ‘hectic’ or making him feel sprung apron. I think he has some aspects of Asperger’s and struggles to relate at times. I feel quite isolated and just crack on and get life done (along side fun with him and my absolutely great kids) but emotionally i am 100% on my own apart from some good friends. I’m not after pity, but is there anyone else who just feels like as a wife there is a lot to cope with and drive and push along, alongside the normal full time job and being a mum?
