At the end of a working day, you look forward to having a lovely evening with your partner, and on arriving home you just find them already in bed. You ask whether they are sick and they tell you how there are changes going on in their department at work and how they are worried about their job. What would you do when you are ready to have good time and your spouse is stressed out?First thing, you can do is not to ask too many questions insisting that they talk. Just understand that your partner may need sometime to calm down and taking sometime to relax would reduce on the tension of the stressful thoughts they have. They may need to sleep on it to gain a proper perspective.You could find some way of encouraging your partner say by talking about how good they are at what they do, you could remind them of past achievements they have made or even tell them of how they have additional skills and options if at all anything happens to their job.
