[quote=Anonymous]I feel like my world is caving in on me slowly, family drama, about to switch careers, friends fighting, financial trouble. its all hitting at once. My DH is going through some of the trouble beside me (family drama and financial stuff) but he is working so hard and is so stressed sometimes I don't want to add more to his plate so I hide things, nothing that would affect him. Just things like a fight with a parent, or a sibling calling and arguing. He had something happen to him this morning and I was taken aback, by him saying "I wasn't going to mention this to you, because I know how stressed you are and I didn't want to make you madder but.."

I was surprised to realize that he also hides things from me to shield my full plate. Is this normal? I feel like on the one hand we should be leaning on each other in times of trouble but on the other I think it speaks volumes that we both don't want to overwhelm the other. But I worry about the shielding, I just wanted to see if anyone else doesn't unload everything on their spouse so they can have a nice day or whatever it is and not be stressed. [/quote]
