My husband is very much against it, partly for financial reasons, partly because he doesn't think my therapist is right about me needing it. In fact, he reacted to it by saying he's "starting not to trust" her.
I haven't mentioned that half her reason is to get me away from him.
Then again, on Saturday, after I'd been crying most of the day, he came in while I was on the telephone with someone, talking about feeling suicidal, and said, "wow -- I guess you're not doing so well. That came on so suddenly..." It's not as though I haven't been telling him this for MONTHS. And telling him in so many words. And telling him in our marriage counselor's office.
Oh, hell.
I'm having enough trouble with the whole idea. And the timing. And honestly? Hearing him say, "I don't want this to end up with nothing except the expense to show for it, and you worse."
Which, when you come right down to it, is why my therapist wants me to go in the first place. To get me away from that level of support.
