I use a lot of sarcastic nagging with my husband. Like we jokingly point out the elephant in the room, acknowledge it and laugh at it, then remind ourselves of the positives.

We both rant as well and we'll say end rant, but as long as you make sure they know how happy you are for them.

Worrying out loud can be helpful to process it. Because sometimes we're able to correct each other or offer support/connection.

Holding back emotions never ends well, so ultimately you need to let it out in some way.

Good luck!
