Daisy,
What a pain, certainly not what you need right now. My guess is your husband is feeling insecure in some way. Perhaps he wonders how much you talk to your T about him. Perhaps he's noticed changes in you that feel threatening to him in some way. But those joking comments are definitely meaningful, not a joke, IMO. Perhaps you might suggest he see his own T? To see what it's like and to get some support for himself. It certainly sounds like he is in need of lots of support. I know you give as much as you are able, but more couldn't hurt.He may also be jealous. Perhaps he is feeling that you and he have limited time together, and he is jealous of the time you spend in therapy. If that is the case, well, too bad is my intial response. But then again, I am guessing he needs to be soothed about it. Either you can do that or he can seek that with a T. And do warn your T about his comments. He should be cut off at the beginning if he actually tries to get an appt.
