Thank you for helping me get through this. It's hard to give all the background. Let's just say my husband is someone who feels entitled. The last time we hit a bump like this one, it turned out that my husband resented something that I had said months before. I couldn't even remember saying it. Instead of addressing it, he rebelled at it and became secretive.

I know I tend to feel abandoned and do everything I can to overcome it. He's a football addict and I try to hang out with him and have fun watching with him. I've spent years doing this and getting better at it. Then the season is over and he is lost. Then he regroups by making all kinds of plans with his single buddy. We had to see the marriage counselor because he was furious that I wasn't comfortable with the two of them going to Vegas for a few days.

In trying to explain our sides, the counselor asked my why I didn't just say I wasn't comfortable with it? Like that would be totally reasonable. I was shocked.

But everything is hunky dorey as long as I don't object. If I do, he throws a fit. That's why it's a lose-lose situation. The other night I shared my feelings because I thought we'd come so far. But again, he threw a fit. And proceeded to air his grievances as though it was Festivus.

And I've been in shock. It feels like the marriage is over. The counselor can see us next week. I have to somehow survive until then.
