I think I'm a lot like you- I tend to hide my feelings from my spouse- so logically he doesn't inquire how I'm doing. My therapist has asked me to bring him along several times, and the one time I did he was very supportive and understanding (for a while:-). Has your spouse met with your therapist? You may be surprised at his support if he does (20 years of marriage is quite an achievement). It sounds like you really want his support, so this may be one way to go about it. You might also ask your therapist about ways to be more open with him (I think men tend to shy away from 'talks') the correct way so he'll be more responsive to your needs. best of luck-judy
