I think I'm just very fortunate that my husband doesn't question my judgement: I tell him it's important to me, and he sees it's helping and based on that, he's consistently encouraging when I ask him if he minds or if he thinks it is worthwhile.
With all that said though: I manage the finances in my household, and he hasn't asked me the specific cost, so he only has a general idea of the spending. I've simply told him it's very expensive and he knows how often I'm in session.
I do struggle greatly myself with the expense, but would be hard pressed to give it up. Even cutting back has been very difficult. I know it's frustrating, like you said, for both of you, but it sounds like you've made great strides in six months: there's no reason to think your improvement won't continue and you might think of this level of expenditure as short term: you two won't always have money worries because of therapy, and you will both have the benefit of a stronger healthier happier you.
