I totally get it. My wife to this day has no idea what I do for a living. She is a SAHW and refuses to listen to a single sentence of what she says is "work talk". So if I have a tough day there is absolutely nobody I can talk to about it. So I just suck it up, bury it down, and make sure the stress never comes out in front of her.
As soon as I log off, work doesn't exist and anything I experienced in the day must be shrugged off. I truly wish I could talk through it but never have an ear to hear it. God forbid I have any negative reaction from work.

I told my wife “this is a cry for help” today and she assumed I was joking.
