I really empathize with your husband -- that's basically been me (the constant anxiety and stress and overwhelmed feeling) even though my wife and I are so incredibly fortunate to still have our jobs despite reduced pay/hours/benefits/etc. I'm just so scared of both of us ending up jobless. For that matter, I also get overwhelmed just thinking about all the people in our nation (we live in the US for reference) who have lost or are going to lose their jobs and subsequently have to face the prospect of potential homelessness. I feel so helpless and angry for everyone all the time anymore, every day feels like I'm just trying to go through the motions and survive another day for no real reason because I see no light at the end of the tunnel.

BLARGH. Sorry, I get going and just can't stop. Anyway, my point being that my wife is somehow more resilient to all of this, maybe it's part of the toxic nature of masculinity in US culture where men just automatically assume the bulk of the accountability for their family's safety and wellbeing even though a marriage is obviously an equal partnership. And she has made sure to talk to me and keep me from clamming up and becoming a robot, which is exactly what I would end up doing were it not for her.
