When couples avoid talking about how driving limitations affect their relationship

My wife was in a serious accident six months ago and still can't drive, which means I'm doing all the transportation for both of us, but we haven't really talked about what this shift means beyond the logistics. I can see her struggling with the loss of independence, and I'm honestly overwhelmed by being the only driver, but we keep pretending like this is just a temporary inconvenience instead of addressing how it's actually affecting both of us.
