Hi, I'm Joel π
I live in Ottawa, Canada π¨π¦, married last October and I am hopeful, excited but also fearful to join. The fear comes from failure; as understanding my partner's mental load and acting accordingly will be a **MUST** for us to have a marriage for our lifetimes. I have failed over and over again without even realizing.
Unfortunately, my wife is going through a full burn-out as a nurse. It's hard enough as it is; but now even harder. I took on 99% of the mental and physical load at first and slowly re-introducing her into the everyday responsibilities following her pace.
I want to get 3 main things out of the community:
- Understand and have clear actions towards managing mental & physical load
- Get feedback or answers when it feels like hitting a "wall"
- Accountability to face reality and learn
My wife fell in love with my, in my opinion for:
- My humour
- My ambition & Creativity
- My calm and logical problem solving qualities
Excited to learn, meet and immerse myself in the world of understand the mental load.
