Wow, he is in for a rude awakening ?

Don't you love it when your love ones support you ??

I am not supposed to be on here anymore, because you guys fill me with all the wrong information, according to him.

Well I guess our IQ scores got reversed all of a sudden. Our someone beat me with a stupid stick.
I'm not bluntly trying to be sexist here, but *most* of the replies here have said that men sometimes have a more "sweep it under the rug" approach.. Or "dealing with it like a man" as my husband would say.

I would say, this forum helps me get support from people who are going through the same things that I am. This is not up for discussion. If that doesn't work, or maybe you should do this anyway, I'd have him come along for a therapy session. It really helps to get an unbiased person to convince him that you do need help.

I would also say that everyone has their own way of dealing with their issues, he shouldn't be judging you.

Hang in there!
