Don't you feel somewhat resentful of your husband though, if you can't tell him about how you feel and get some support?
We spent some time on this today because I told My Therapist about the conversation I had with my hubbie over the weekend. My Therapist wondered how I could approach the need for support with my husband especially since I'm working on trying to take emotional risks. He wanted to know what baby step I could take, and honestly, I couldn't name one. Not one. How cowardly am I??
It goes back, for me, in not trusting that people can handle "my stuff." I don't know what their response will be, I can't "control it" so I won't risk it. It was a frustrating, sad session mostly, especially when I had to admit how much I don't trust even my own husband. I'm upset with myself (again? still?).
*sigh* Maybe this is just isn't something I can do.
