I do SO wonder what the impact is on marriage when one spouse enters therapy, and the other does not. This one person has learned to communicate on a deeply emotional level with another person, but that person is not their spouse.
Of course, you know I'm familiar with this problem. So we learn to talk, vent, emote...but who can we talk to? Our T, or this emotional wall, or emtional infant, or whatever we have at home. How can this guy, our husband, ever get it? unless he has been through this cathartic process, how do we NOT lose them emotionally?
Oh gg, I dunno. This whole topic overwhelms me. I should not have felt closer to my T than my spouse, but I did. That just can't be healthy, can it?
