One of the nicer cultural things about being married, honestly, which I really wish was available to everyone, is that you can teamwork the shit out of everything to compensate for mental illness and nobody thinks that’s weird. 

Like, if you have your roommate/best friend/parent/sibling/etc make a phone call for you because phone calls are terrifying, or cook you dinner because you can’t get through all the steps of cooking pasta today, or handle your finances because you don’t trust yourself to spend money responsibly, or keep a calendar for you because you forget things, or whatever, people will act like you’re being incredibly childish and you need to grow up and do things on your own and not demand other people coddle you and so on…  But if your spouse does those things, that’s fine and normal.
