That being said, I've become more open with my husband and my best friend and it's been incredibly affirming.
My T is always telling me to be more open with my H. Or no, he isn't telling me to do anything as such - he never does that - but he keeps asking me pointed questions that suggest that he thinks it would be a good idea, and when confronted, he admits that he does think so. I keep working on making him understand that it is not possible and would not be a good idea, but it is uphill work. I'm glad he doesn't talk about accepting love, though. That would be too embarrassing. (And he shares my dislike of Brene Brown. That woman rubs me the wrong way - I have tried watching a TED talk with her but I had to switch off after a few minutes.)
Thanks for this!
