In reply to What do you tell your DH?, posted by JayJ on September 19, 2008, at 16:38:47
I started seeing my T during the end of my last relationship. I think he was jealous of the relationship my T and I were beginning to cultivate. He would ask what we talked about, I would give him 2 generic sentences. Also, he would tell me, "you should talk about x, y, and z." He was definitely jealous. He didn't think I had a problem, but he was in denial of my issues and especially of his own. I'm glad that relationship is over.
It's tough when someone you love asks about your relationship with your T. I wouldn't want them to think it's all a big secret, nor would I want them to think that they are entitled to all the info divulged in therapy. It's a balancing act. I think one or two sentences if fine. If your husband/boyfriend understands why you are seeing your T, that makes a huge difference.
