Learn practical ways to move at your own pace and get support if needed.

Burnout doesn’t just affect your day-to-day — it can quietly create distance in your relationship, too.

This blog explores how emotional burnout shows up in subtle ways and offers simple, caring strategies to help you protect your relationship during tough times.

Resentment rarely starts with a blow-up. It builds in the quiet moments, in the ones where you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or like you're carrying more than your share. Left unspoken, that weight can slowly shift the feel of a relationship. But when you notice the signs early and respond with care, there’s a real chance to soften the tension and find your way back to each other.
