Life is full of stress. I think it’s a huge requirement of a good marriage to be able to withstand stressful times. It’s easy to be happy when things are good. You both have to be able to handle stress. Bringing up divorce is a no no.

We periodically go over the list of traumatic things (illnesses/death/surgeries/ etc) happened since we’ve met. It’s like unreal. I wonder if it’s just as people get older bad scary things happen more often or it’s just luck. But lots of it is age. Like elderly parents etc At least you don’t deal with adult kids. They could be source of stress. One of my stepkids is for sure.

Well I barked at my husband this morning. I have covid and my husband get left for work and left his oxygen meter for me to use and wouldn’t properly explain what to do with it and what it even means. I hate it. Don’t act like I am supposed to know what the freaking thing is! He always acts like I am supposed to know! I am not a medical professional. He is!

Is your couples therapist helpful?
