How do I support my wife when she feels overwhelmed or easily irritated?

Question

Just curious and would like to know how to better support her.
This is her at her happiest!

Answer

The biggest mistake men make is trying to give advice e.g. "just do this and that" or "try not to feel that way". That will make her feel unheard and invalidated. Be a listening ear, and ask her what you can do to help. That will go such a long way! It's great you're asking about this, relationships would be so much better if everyone took time to think about how to make things better for their partner :)

Answer

What's making her over whelmed? Can you pick up slack at home? Like before she gets home have the house cleaned and tell her to just soak in the bath? Take her out on a nice date?

Answer

Help her out with little things, don't just expect her to do everything (if you do that), make sure she knows you appreciate her. Get her flowers randomly, surprise her with something small. The little things always help when I'm stressed or overwhelmed.

Answer

Has this been going on for a long time? Is it possible she could have some mental issues? I do not mean this in an offensive way by any means, I myself am bipolar 2 with anxiety and sometimes I can really snap on my husband if I get overwhelmed. He read up on both conditions and now he is very good at supporting me and helping me when I am having a hard time. PS - you seem like an amazing husband! Love the picture. You guys look so lovely!
