His nerves wear on me

I know my family. Everything my partner thought was a big deal, I knew wasn’t a big deal. But if I tried to assure him of that, or tell him, “You don’t need to worry” he would read it as my disregarding his feelings, or saying he was being dramatic. So I had to indulge his every freak-out and it got hard on my nerves.
