> So I just got home from a dinner out with hubby, who has been more supportive than ususal lately, and I'm feeling a bit dispondent. I'm taking effexor and battling a drinking dependancy, and every time I brought up drug side-effects and/or things I felt strongly about at counselling sessions, he just disappeared - his immediate next response was about the array of desserts, or a recent event at his work, or anything other...although to be fair it was always after an interuption by the waitress and his memory is poor - but I really thought I was reaching out to him and that he would pick up on that...just venting...don't mind me...

> SadIt could be his way of avoiding the 'reality'....seems to be a common trait amongst partners. You could try facing him off with the questions, but it may be tough. But I will say, avoiding is not a healthy action.
Best,
