I know that I can share everything with my spouse and for the most part I have. He is a wonderful and strong man who has been my best friend, partner in life and supportive of me for the past 18 years. The one exception is I don't go into details about my child hood abuse by my uncle. He knows of it and knows I get nightmares and flashbacks but I don't want to burden him with the details so I save that for therapy. That said I can't picture my life without him and I respect and appreciate the openness of our marriage where we always got each other's backs and support one another through the good times and the not so good times.
