Thanks for sharing your story with us, Carrie! We’ve prepared some tips that we hope can be useful.
Establish boundaries firmly.
Take proactive steps to prioritize your own well-being and maintain open communication with your husband about your feelings and needs.
Set aside time for self-care activities that help you recharge and cope with stress.
