I had to learn to pause — literally take a breath before reacting. I also started journaling when I felt triggered and noticed patterns, like when I was tired or hot. Once I shared that with my husband, he became more patient, and I became more aware. It’s not perfect, but empathy helps both of us survive the emotional storms.
