What I hate the most about all this is when my husband asks me after my appointments: "Well, what did you talk about?" and my inevitable response is: "Oh...this and that. " which has irked him to the point of finally saying (a week or so ago now) to me: You can tell all of THEM - those doctors - what's going on with you but you never tell ME anything and I'm your husband!" He had/has a point, doesn't he. While I, on the other hand, seem unable to make 'my point' - whatever that is.
Love,
Helene.
I won't pretend to have any answers or even offer you any relationship advice, as I am not in one. And, only 'you' know your husband but what would it hurt to share with him some (maybe not all) of the feelings you share in therapy? It sounds as if he really wants to be a part of your life with these struggles you're having.
Maybe not making a point is the issue. Maybe one doesn't have to be made. I don't know, just throwing some things out there.
I would assume, and I may be wrong but when someone is interested enough, concerned enough to want to know how things are going for you, maybe they deserve an answer. I can understand not wanting to divulge all of the intimate details that you share privately as you may fear his reaction, but instead of a full meal maybe you could throw him a bone?
Tell me how you feel, Helene and how far off I am with these suggestions. I know you have no problem speaking your mind!!
Hold on, gf...always here for you, with so much love!
