“It’s important that the overwhelmed partner doesn’t blame the other partner for not doing enough, or not noticing all the things that need to be done,” says Ivits. She suggests starting a conversation with an “I” instead of “You”. Ivits suggests that the overwhelmed partner starts by letting go of some of the burden. For example, if meal-planning or grocery shopping is weighing you down, stop doing it and let your partner pick up the slack. “This is the moment of clarity that is sometimes required before a partner will truly get it,” she says.and doling out hugs, Ivits suggests sitting down after the kids go to bed and discussing the areas that overwhelm or cause added strain.
