A trouble shared.


Today’s Idiom: a trouble shared is a trouble halved

Meaning: when you tell people that can help you about the problem you are passing through, the problem are made less serious

Usage: Don’t die in silence; a trouble shared is a trouble halved.

Wrong Usage: Don’t die in silence; a problem shared is half solved.

General Note: It’s trouble but not problem. Don’t replace …a trouble halved with …half solved.
