    I sometimes have to remind my wife to relax. The way I do it is vital. “You have done soooo much today, you need to take care of yourself. Go play xyz game and relax. I will make you a cup of tea”

    just fucking ask,

    “Are you ok? want to talk about it or do you want some space (bring a snack just in case)?”

    We don’t need to be empaths or psychics to know what’s on other people’s minds, asking is free.

      Tried that but she would rather make me guess because she doesn’t know either but whatever choice I make it’s guaranteed to be the wrong one

        There is a correct choice, leave, you don’t have to stay with people who will make you second guess yourself then blame you when you fail to be a psychic.
