My husband...I appreciate that he's a spiritual person, then again his answer to everything I bring up that bothering me is to tell me to pray about it. Everything. I feel like he's not empathizing with me, not truly listening; he's just giving me a standard answer. So I very seldom bring up my mental health issues anymore - or any issues.
It's painful when a spouse doesn't want to understand mental illness.
How old are your children?
I don't think it's at all unusual to feel like you are more connected to your therapist than to your wife. Not unusual, but disheartening.

Have you expressed this to him?
