When Work Stress Follows You Home

[Urvashi]

Many relationships suffer when professional stress spills into personal life. How do you disconnect after a difficult day? Should partners help each other cope, or set firm boundaries between work and home life?

I tend to get stressed because I have a really tough job. I no longer have enough time to relax. There was a time when I used to relax and never focus on career. However, now things have changed.

Interestingly, I work from home and I always have work related stress.

When your work stress follows you home, it quietly blurs the line between your professional and personal life. You might find yourself replaying conversations, worrying about deadlines, or feeling too drained to enjoy downtime.

When you know that your going partner is stressed from work, you should be able to step in and assist in the little way that you can. Get food for them to eat, cover up for their domestic responsibility to help them not to add stress to the existing work stress.
