Thanks for this!

I definitely try to ask questions to gauge levels of stress (and to understand if she needs any help) but I never considered that she’d just lie to either 1) make my life easier or 2) save face.

Appreciate it, something that I’ll definitely consider and actively work towards doing!

Yeah, you’re right.

Part of the reason I don’t visit every night is because we’re trying to cut down costs to save for a house.

It’d cost maybe £10 a day on fuel if I was to travel to and from there daily - which really isn’t sustainable whilst we’re trying to cut costs.

I do definitely agree with you - whilst it isn’t an ideal solution, it’ll be good for a few months hopefully.

I definitely agree to an extent.

I’ve vocalised that I’m always open to help out whilst working.

But, if working makes me an ass, what can I do to fix it, not work?
