How can I better understand my partner's stress triggers?

It's great that you want to understand your partner better! Can you share some situations where you've noticed them feeling stressed?

Yes, I often see them getting overwhelmed during work deadlines.

That’s a common trigger. It might help to talk to them about how they feel during those times and what support they need.

What if they don't want to talk about it?

If they’re not ready to talk, you can create a safe space for them. Let them know you’re there for them whenever they feel comfortable.

That makes sense. Should I ask them directly about their triggers?

Yes, but approach it gently. You could ask open-ended questions to encourage them to share when they feel ready.
