"That seems to be the reason everyone gives me here when they tell me to shut up about my problems."
Where did you get that from? No one told you that. Everyone is just offering you a perspective from your W's POV that you may not understand or consider.
"For now, I'm shutting up about it even here because that's the advice I was given,"
No one has told you that. The general consensus seems to have been just to not make it always about your needs. In fact, I as well as others, have said you should have a heart to heart with your W about it.
