Interesting read. Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, does your wife experience burnout and if so, what kinds of strategies do you all employ to manage that burnout?

Well there are good days and bad days. When she started here she wasn't able to get into her room to set it up until the 11th hour, so she started the year on her backfoot. She takes good care of her self, much better than me tbh, so I think that helps. She's very tough and competent, and she has a sort of gentle frankness that I think help smooth out rough interpersonal issues that drive so much burn out, just because she like can't stand to let things fester between people. Also our relationship is very strong and open and honest, and we share everything including housework. We take vacations, and alto she likes to plan vacations so it can be a nice mental getaway for her. Luckily I have a decent job too so we can do that. My kids are older and we only have them part time so she doesn't have to full time mom, even though she's a great step mom and very involved.
