spouses

[chasemanzmum]

my husband wont talk to me. i try talkin to him he refuses to say anything and he says i can talk to him about anything. i try to talk to him about my symptoms and all. i get more support from my blended case manager. she was at my doctor appts and all. it is driving me crazy.the only way i get attention from him is tryin to pick a fight with him i dont wanna be that way anymore.

funny i thought that none of the above would help then i scrolled down and say highs comment....snap.
a relationship survives on communication,trust and love.........if he wont let you talk then right it down put it in his work stufff then he will have to read it at work......couriosity always gets the better of people and a letter is something that is hard not to read......just a thought

i sometimes write him emails. so sad it takes that to get his attention.

i'm sorry to hear you're having such a hard time with your spouse.... i agree, communication is key.  you can't force him to talk with you.

he must have problems expressing himself, and issues when it comes to handling life's hurdles... some people don't cope well under stress....

sometimes i don't either

sending all best wishes and i hope things get straightened out soon.

I too, am sorry, that you are going through this with your husband.  Again, I guess I'm one of the lucky ones...but I have to admit, there are times when I want to "leave"....NOT because of HIM....but because of ME....so that I don't put him through this anymore.  But like I said, he said I'm not going anywhere because we took the vows "in sickness and in health" (and I cry right now as I write that) because not too many people take their vows seriously anymore. 

Does your husband belong to this group or any other group for spouses of Bp patients?

I know when my husband joined, I had him read the section of "do's and don'ts" and etc...that was posted in the family/friends section.  It's still hard for him, but he tries every day.  And that's all I can ask of him to do....

I hope things will get better hon
