I Wish I Was Alone

The supporter part of me can see his point. If he's stressing over money (or other stuff), then i can see him wanting to talk about stuff straight away to get things sorted out.

The sufferer part of me can see that it's unfair of him to push things if you're at a point where you can't handle it, and aren't likely to remember it.

I do think it's unfair to castigate you for going to the ER over your asthma attack - though if he is worried about the money side of things, I can see that. Does make me feel really lucky to be in the UK, where it's free to walk into hospital, though.

With the constant questioning on the medication, he may think he's being helpful by reminding you (again, from the supporter side of me), and not realise he's making you feel as though he thinks you're just 'mental'. (Unless you've told him that's how it makes you feel, in which case he should have listened.)

Hub and I basically wobble our way through things. He tends to want to stop conversations (as do I on rare occasions), while I have a pathological need to get things mended asap (whether that's ptsd or just me, I don't know). Causes clashes every now and again - though since we found out I have PTSD too (unrelated to his), it's bizarrely made this sort of thing easier. Like there's no longer any sort of question of his needs being more important than mine, because he's the unwell one (that wasn't a major factor before for us, but it came up now and then).
 
I think the place to cut the finances would be on groceries, or eating out, not a life-threatening emergency. I'm a nurse, worked in the ER. If you have chest pain or can't breathe, don't go to the doctor, or urgent care because you will be sent to ER. Go right to the ER. It doesn't matter if you can't afford it, many hospitals have payment plans or charity. I don't mean to sound so abrupt, but this is a serious conversation that decides what you do in the future too. Please go to ER when you feel you need to.
 
My husband promised his parents $400/ month without asking me or even telling me first. I told him that he needs to at least tell me these things and he told me "I wont." and "we don't have that kind of relationship".

I don't know where he is going to get this money from. We can afford it but it's going to cut into amount we can save for emergencies. I am a bit worried that we wont have anything left now every month and when will his parents will start asking for more money.

We are going on vacation in 2 weeks. I was excited about going and relived too becasue it's with family and it wont require much expense expect the airplane tickets which have already been paid for but now I wish we weren't going at all.

I really need a break.
 
I told him that he needs to at least tell me these things and he told me "I wont." and "we don't have that kind of relationship".
Erm......I'm speechless.

Mine values his head too much to try that one on me. I honestly don't know what to say, because without finding out what the hell is going on inside his head, any advice or thoughts on this is useless.

My first thought was this........why are you the ONLY one going to therapy??? I'd be dragging his sorry ass along, and explaining that getting better ain't going to happen until you sort a few snarls (read matts!) out!

hugs Ayesha, relationships/marriages is really rough yakka, mine's a work every single day, but I'm sorry to say that I'm happy to keep my bloke, because by the sounds of it, I don't want yours! :confused::meh:
