I am one of those people that share most things with my husband. Most times, I'm not sure it's that helpful. Since I've been back in therapy (just over a year) I've even been more open with my husband. My T warned me that when I begin to change (i.e. push him in a certain direction to help me with more household tasks ... mainly the kids) he'll push back even stronger. And she was right. BUT ... my husband has hung in there and apologize afterwards. I think he knows, deep down, that I'm being reasonable. But it's driving him crazy, my wanting and insisting on all these deep conversations or just sharing of information. Right now, our marriage is strained ... lots of changes (he just got a new job) ... but I'm still sharing and he rolls his eyes occasionally, but I need my connection with him. I won't let him off that easy.
