First, as QM said, his comment about what he wanted to do after the phone argument is extremely manipulative. (Even if he did legitimately feel that way.) And makes it sound like he needs therapy, too...though I get the sense he's the type who would never go.

The thing he said about not wanting to hear your worries would bother me, too. It makes me think of what my H said a few months ago, where all I talk about is therapy (so not true!) And I was like, "well, you said you wanted me to share more of what was going on in my head, and this is what's going on in my head right now, so..." He's been better about it since then.

Your H clearly doesn't understand anxiety, because, as I'm sure you know, "stop worrying" does NOT work! Along with "there's nothing to be anxious about," etc. I'm sure you wish you didn't worry so much or that you could be more decisive--I know I do (about myself!) anyway--and it's not like you're doing this on purpose to annoy your H. Sorry, I'll stop ranting, I just feel for you.

Any way you can talk to your T before next week? (Or is it this week you see her?)
Thanks LT. He does need therapy. And we have needed marriage counseling for awhile he refuses every time I bring it up.

I told him while we were talking last night that I don't do this on purpose, I don't enjoy it, and it's not to annoy him. My worry has gotten better, how can he not see that, it used to literally paralyze me. He's mad that I'm indecisive about grad school. (I'm 56, of course I'm concerned about spending that kind of money). He's mad that I worry about the resolution of the recent car accident. Mad that I called t yesterday. Yet when I asked before we went to sleep "are we ok?" He said "I hope so." He wants me to be happy and live my life yet it sounds like he wants me to live it on his terms. I've grown so much in therapy. I can't squish myself back into a little box anymore. Maybe us splitting up would be for the best I don't know. He has certainly thought about it.

Oh and I'm seeing t this week and next. Beyond that I don't think so at this point.
