@monicaumunna: We’re very aware of the mental load we carry because we’re the ones carrying it, thinking about it, talking about it, and often telling our husbands about it… What we may not realize is that our husbands can be carrying a significant mental load too, we just may not hear about it in the same way!! Your husband may not call you every time he’s stressed. He may not tell you every worry he’s carrying. He may not come home and list everything that’s weighing on him. He may just keep going, because that’s often what men do… what’s expected of them. Butttttt, that doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy, or hard, or exhausting or overwhelming. His ability to carry things quietly is a strength, but it can also make his burdens easy to overlook. Pay attention to the quiet things. Ask questions. Notice when his tone changes or he gets quieter than usual. Appreciate what he carries, even when he doesn’t ask you to. You don’t have to take his load away from him… you just shouldn’t forget that he has one too!! 🔥🫶🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
