We’ve been trying to make things work, and some days it feels easier than others. But lately, it feels almost impossible. The constant misunderstandings, the short tempers, the emotional exhaustion, it all starts to take a toll. We’re both trying, yet somehow we keep finding ourselves in the same place, feeling drained and disconnected. How do you make things work when even trying starts to feel exhausting?
We both have work and life stress, especially during moves and all that. But we’re very physically affectionate and help each other when something is really getting one of us down, or really stressing us out. Just being open, being vulnerable has helped us get through tough times, especially if we’re holding one another and off our phones.
That, and sometimes we’ll do things together. Baking, reading, camping, biking, swimming. It all helps :)
