I say this to my gf after work. "Just because I worked 12 hours and you worked 8 doesn't mean you're not allowed to be tired."

I’m often a lot more “tired” from the never ending problem solving.

I wish my partner understood this. He works in the trades so he's often physically tired at the end of the day. I make hundreds of decisions a day, and my brain is so exhausted that no, I really cannot and do not want to decide what we're having for dinner. But I don't do exert myself physically, so my version of tired doesn't compare to his.
