My wife went back to work when I was in a highly stressful corporate job. It was ruining my marriage, sleep, and health. I didn’t even know my own daughters birthdates.
I’ll always thank her for not questioning me or shaming me. She jumped in without hesitation.
Everything worked out for the better for us.
I’m sure your wife feels the same about you right now. It’s important to be there for the ones we love.
I hope everything works out for you and you get a new garage gym soon.
