My marriage is hanging by a thread.
One major issue for me is the impact of my husband’s work related stress on our relationship and our family. This has been going on for a couple of years. Whenever it comes up he always switches it round to say that it’s my fault because I’m not supportive enough and we never get anywhere, for example with finding ways to help him cope better with the stress.
We are doing couple’s therapy and I raised the work stuff and he just said that’s just her, she’s never happy with me, work’s just her latest thing to criticise. Basically the work is no problem.
I just don’t feel heard.
My question is this - is there anything I can do to get him to take on board my concerns?
I don’t want to end the relationship but it feels like i’m getting to the point where I’ll have no choice because he’s no willing to change anything.
(Appreciate it looks like I’m blaming him for everything in this and I’m not. I just think that issues on both sides need to be addressed)
