Ask - YES! Asking for help is one of the key ways to build trust and intimacy - letting your partner know you want/need help is opening up. It's also important to not expect a certain response - maybe they can only help so much or maybe they can't do much RIGHT now - but asking for help is a way to grow closer with someone by being honest about what you need.
