My husband is getting frustrated with me going to therapy. He really is a good guy. That's one of the reasons I married him, but I think he's tired of the expense or the quest of getting there. I can't really blame him. It's been three years now. He doesn't know the extent of the things I've been through and I don't think it would serve any purpose to tell him.
I can only go to therapy on Sat. because my T is so far away. She told me she wouldn't be available next Sat. I have something I need to do in regards to the upcoming holiday. Instead of telling him she isn't going to be there, I told him I wouldn't be going because I'm going to stay home and do what I need to do. She offered me a phone session, but I'm going to try to get by without it. I'm hoping this won't backfire and he'll think I don't need therapy as much. I don't know.
Has anyone else had this problem with your significant other? I don't know how to get him to understand that I need to be there without going into details about what's happened to me. I feel terrible about being dishonest with him. I don't even know why I did that. I've thought about asking my T to talk to him, but I'm not sure she would do that. She wouldn't even leave a message for me with him even though she knows he knows I am in therapy.
