I struggle with that a little. Being a husband I want her to think Im strong , confident and tough. I tend to bottle everything up and it feels like the weight of the world on my shoulders. Im trying to correct this and making effort to open up. It's scary though. You feel completely vulnarable. It's taken me 8 years to talk about my depression with my wife. At first it was difficult, but I have an understanding wife who wants to support me. It's hard for me to be open but I feel better when I share what is bothering me. I think communication, compansion and trust are essential to being happy with someone else. I hope things get better for you. I think therapy will help you. t did for me. I felt less overwhelmed and more capable of tackling my problems.
