Do you think that your husband thinks you talk about him?

Yes, and sometimes I do.

Does he feel that you talk to the therapist, but not to him?
</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">
Unfortunately, he likely does feel this way. The problem is when I do tell him things, he tells me things like: "It's stupid to think like that.", "You don't need that crap.", "No, I don't to that.", "You're being too sensitive or overreacting."...... Or he appears generally disinterested in my ramblings about things that matter to me.

He may be feeling "left" out, sort of?
</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">
Maybe, but to be "left in" you need to be able to listen and to be able to separate your thoughts and feeling from the other person's.
As for him wanting to serve all my needs... I don't think so. I think he expects me to serve all of his needs.

Maybe he's a bit jealous??
</div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> Maybe...I think it is more that he is afraid that I am building up the confidence and starting to demanding change. He is afraid I am preparing to leave.
