00:00You're both tired. She's exhausted and he's shutting down, both quietly asking the same

00:05question. Why can't you see me? She's wondering why she always has to ask for help, why she's the

00:11one holding it all together, carrying the mental load, the emotional labor, and the invisible weight

00:15that never seems to lighten. And he's wondering why nothing he does is ever enough, why every

00:20effort feels dismissed, why it feels safer to stay quiet than risk getting it wrong again.

00:25He says I'm fine because he doesn't know how to say I'm overwhelmed and I don't feel like I'm

00:30enough. You pass each other in the same house, same bed, same routine, but it feels like you're living

00:35in two different worlds and still you love each other. But lately, love feels like a battlefield.

00:43He sees her anger, but not her overwhelm. She sees his silence, but not his shame because he's drowning

00:48in pressure to be strong, to provide, to protect, but never break. Feeling the pressure, the shame,

00:55enough, and always feeling like he's failing. And she's drowning in responsibility, to manage,

00:59to hold space, to nurture, but never fall apart. She's holding the house, the kids, the meals,

01:04the schedules, and the emotions together. And she's giving from a well that rarely gets filled.

01:09He doesn't know how to ask for help. She doesn't know how to stop being the help. She thinks if I

01:15have to ask for help one more time, I might break. And he thinks if I get it wrong one more time,

01:19I might give up. And neither one says the thing they really want to say. I miss you. I'm tired.

01:25And I don't know how to carry this alone anymore. So you drift apart. Tired, resentful, lonely in the

01:31same house. And the space between you grows until love feels like something you remember,

01:36not something you feel. And here's the truth. If you're in a relationship where both people are

01:42waiting, waiting to feel safe, waiting to feel seen, waiting for the other to go first,

01:46you'll both lose. So go first. Even if your voice shakes, even if you're scared, they won't meet

01:53you there. Sit them down, hold hands, put your phones away, and go first. With softness, with

02:00honesty, with curiosity. Ask, what are you caring that I don't see? And say, I don't want to fight

02:07you. I want to fight for us. Then really listen. No fixing, no defending, no comparing, just presence.

02:14Let it be messy. Let it be human. Let it be real. Because love isn't about keeping score.

02:19It's about holding each other when life gets heavy. And it won't fix everything overnight.

02:24But it might save the very thing you're both starving for. Connection. Because the truth is,

02:30you're not each other's enemy. You're each other's mirror. And sometimes, you're both just scared to

02:36say at first, I'm not okay. But healing doesn't come from when one side breaks and the other watches.

02:43It comes when both decide, we're going to do this differently, together.
