Understanding the Causes of Couple's Burnout: Insights from a Psychologist

A new study introduces a 10-item scale to measure "couple's burnout," which refers to feelings of mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion within romantic relationships. The research shows that burnout in one area of life can spill over into others, and one partner's burnout can affect the other partner. The scale captures symptoms of burnout, such as tiredness, disappointment, hopelessness, and insecurity. It is important for couples to communicate openly, support each other, and make a conscious effort to address burnout as a team in order to thrive in their relationship.
