Not wanting to tell my husband my problem

[skinnylatte81]

My husband has a habit of throwing stuff back in my face. I do not have a close relationship with my family for various reasons and as a result I visit them less frequently as when I'm around them I'm feeling like a 5 year old child again even with my own children. My husband has supported my decision but then during an argument will goade how I've no one to be able to turn to. I'm thinking I've been suffering with stress and anxiety since the birth of my daughter a while ago. I read an article on a Facebook page and basically I identified myself with he woman talking about her stress and anxiety and how she got help so I've now made an appointment with my gp to discuss this. The problem is I don't want to tell my husband as what happens if we have an argument and he throws that back in my face again? Just wondering what do you think should I talk about it with him

I totally understand you.
It was very difficult for me to open up to DH about my binge eating disorder and now, every time we disagree about something, he throws them back into my face.
For example he is right to forbid me to wear a skirt or lipstick to go to work because he cannot trust me around other men, because I am unable to resist a bag of M&Ms.
It is not normal.

Firstly I'm sorry you have been feeling stressed and anxious. Hope you are being kind to yourself in your experience. You don't have to tell your husband if you don't feel comfortable doing so. I can relate to worrying that things you share that make you 'vulnerable' will be used against you later on. This is not healthy, however once you have seen a pattern of behaviour from your partner it is tough to break the cycle and trust them enough to open up. I think what's most important right now is dealing with your feelings. Once you are feeling a better you may want to address the other matter with your husband directly

I've just read your other thread where this was referenced.
So 2 threads about having arguments & your DHs unreasonableness. And the only ref to your part in it being yr self-diagnosis of stress and anxiety.
Anxiety is horrible and at some point you need to address what is causing it. But I think you also have to be self aware enough to examine what you contribute to the rows.
