This scenario is all too familiar and from where I sit, it's not over
yet. Maybe she doesn't know
how to express it. But you can sit her down, let her know you care. Put her in a situation where she's crying on your shoulder and you're comforting her. Don't allow her to enter the defensive mode. Do nothing but console her and she will talk when you ask what's wrong.
You may feel "sick" of it, but maybe she just needs a little emotional backup. Women going through emotional turmoil can find it difficult and draining to deal with the routine tasks. It can't hurt if you pitch in a little extra while she's going through whatever it is. The contract doesn't say 50-50 at all times. Patience and understanding will go a long way. Take it a day at a time. I'll admit, we'd like you to figure that out on your own. For some reason, we think it's common sense, but I guess it's just a woman thing.
I wish you much patience and tolerance.
