Me Jane, Me Exhausted: Carrying Too Much Alone
Jane moved through her days with a quiet heaviness. On the outside, she smiled, managed, and carried on. On the inside, though, her heart sagged under the weight.
It wasn’t just the chores, or the meals, or the rhythms of daily life. It was the unseen labor — carrying the emotions, the hurts, the silence. Holding it all so things wouldn’t break.
Tarzan assumed she was fine. He mistook her strength for peace. To him, her silence looked like stability. But to Jane, it was survival.
And survival was exhausting.
She longed for him to see her, not just the tasks she completed or the smile she wore, but the fatigue in her spirit. She didn’t want to carry the weight alone. She wanted partnership, presence, and the safety of being held too.
Love wasn’t supposed to feel this lonely.
✦ Reflection / Takeaway
When one partner carries the emotional weight alone, exhaustion builds. True intimacy requires sharing the load — not just in chores, but in care, in noticing, in asking.
✦ Call-to-Action
🌿 Pause today and ask your partner: What are you carrying right now? How can I help shoulder it with you? Sometimes the greatest gift is simply being willing to share the weight.
✦ Jungle Laugh
“Jane carried the whole jungle on her back… Tarzan thought she was just working on her fitness!” 🐒😂
