Hi, I’m currently struggling with getting my partner to do work around the house or help with our pets. I work remotely and she works retail 7-3:30, she says she too exhausted and/or stressed to do anything to help so she just sits on the couch and watches tv or plays video games. It’s been about 1 year of this and I’m getting to my breaking point, I’m stressed out with having to care for our pets and take care of the house on my own. I’ve given up expecting anything from her, even if I give her small tasks to do to help out she doesn’t do them. How can I be more understanding of how she feels but also get her to understand where I’m coming from and have a productive conversation with her?
