Good ideas, Dinah, thanks! I guess I haven't exactly asking him what would help. I've said things like "I wish I could help," or "Baby, I'm sorry you're so upset," but I've never actually sat down & asked him what would REALLY help. I think I'm afraid that he'll say I need to find a better-paying job. I'm pretty sure that's what I need to do. I think that would help.
I guess I need to be a big girl about it and figure out how to provide the help that we really need. :)
I like the idea about doing some of his chores. It seems like it really helped. I only did one simple thing and he got so excited about it. I mean, I do most of the chores anyways (b/c he works more at his job) but there are still some things that are "his." So I did a task, and he was all thrilled and smiley. It seemed to lift the load a bit.
