My husband knows some of what was going on, but I lied to him and told him it was over two years ago, not two weeks ago. There are other compounding issues involved, such as tremendous stress and pressure at work, and family issues with taking care of my dad, and absolutely no help whatsoever with housework and the kids. He thinks that is all that is wrong. Yes I am in therapy, two weeks into it, and feel somewhat strange about it all. I've never done that before, and I feel stupid for not being able to deal with my own problems. My children are 10, 12, & 14. My husband is supportive of the therapy, but wants to know "what we talk about". I don't know if he could handle couples therapy. I imagine it being like the first time I took him to the Catholic church. He was slumped down in the pew, had his arms crossed, and was not liking it one bit. I can see him sitting there in therapy the same way, and saying "I don't know what her problem is, I haven't done anything wrong."....I've heard that statement a million times in the past 18 years, it just makes me sick to my stomach.
