Care giver burnout

Hello- I have left leg lymphodema- not cancer related- another surgery caused it. My spouse has been bandaging my leg every night for about 14 months- it takes about 5-6 minutes per night.

My insurance finally approved a night time garment, should have in 2-3 weeks- the tribute.

I maintain high level of fitness and hold down a full time job.

Question- my spouse has mentioned several times that they have caregiver burnout. I’m not sure what to do Anyone have experience with this or thoughts?

Thanks!!
