It is exhausting living with somebody who cannot regulate their emotions. We expect kids of all ages to be able to refrain from whining and to pretend to be happy when they’re sad, but those standards are not always as high for their adult counterparts. Many adults just let whatever emotion they’re feeling take over, thinking little of how their outburst will affect the people around them. I’m not saying we need to be constantly suppressing our emotions so that none of our friends or family members are ever uncomfortable. But you need to have enough self-awareness to know when you need to deal with your feelings privately instead of out in the open where everyone can see them. If you’re having an emotional breakdown mutiple times a week, you might need to seek professional help instead of solely relying on your partner or family to pick up the pieces.
