My girlfriend (30F) is going through it at work and it clearly stressed and sad about it. I’ve (27F)been trying to support her but I also am struggling with work and family stuff. I continue to never bring it up because I know she needs support and love and my people pleasing wants to make sure she’s taken care of first. But I feel like I also need reassurance and support.

How do I do that in a way where she doesn’t feel like she’s burdening me with her problems?

Other background: this is both our first non toxic relationship. Both of our exs were terrible for us and causes us both a lot of anxiety around relationships. We have done healing separately just adjustments to healthy communication. We’ve only been together about 5 months.

TL;DR: how do I communicate to my girlfriend without hurting her feelings?
