Introvert DH

[bumble270]

My DH is fab, he helps round the house, is great with DC. I've struggled with PND and he's been my rock.
Yesterday I was working, he was off, when I got in dinner was on the table and a lovely glass of white wine waiting for me.

The only down side is I find him so hard to talk to some times! I've just found out some family news that means the shit could hit the fan, I'm freaking out inside! I told DH and he just said okay, and carried on doing what he was going.

Am I expecting too much from him? I think he understands the implications... I think

Oh my dh is like this. It drives me crazy!

So it sounds like he’s supportive and loving. Maybe he’s not just good at chatting? Tell a friend and ask her for advice instead?

@thegreatcrestednewt he is and I really can't fault him for anything else.
I just don't have anyone near by I feel like I can discuss this with, but that could be my own anxieties. I'm worried I would be judged for my families screw ups
The nature of the fall out isn't something I feel like I want to burden any of my newish friends with

DH is similar - he will happily listen but struggles to give advice about situations that may or may not happen.

He’s much better when something HAS happened and he has got all the facts to then give advice, rather than talk through what might be etc.

So, say to your dh, ‘I know this isn’t your thing, but I need to talk about this. Can you just listen?’ Then unburden yourself.
