well if my anxiety and my husband's anxeity are anything to compare to i am tormented already by what my children will go through if anything like either of us. I get overwhelmed and i can't breath, i break down and cry or i write or blog and then i'm usually a little stronger afterwards or at least i pretend to be. my husband how ever gets agitated and is unsure how to express what he's feeling. He's never been allowed. all he was taught was anger. so when he gets overwhelmed he gets cranky. i can't be near him like that cause i am so super sensitive that each time his tone is a little edgy i want to cry. i hate feeling like i am a disappointment or a failure so when he is cranky i tend to avoid him. i give him credit though he will always seek me out and apologize and try his best to ease my concerns and fears of inadequacy caused by my disorder. mind you he will never and has never told me or lead me to believe or treated me as a failure or disappointment he always tells me how proud he is to have me as his wife, he builds me up. it's just i react very sensitively to tones of voices. i am an extremely emotional person. i just kinda needed to rant a little lol thanks for listening to me moan and groan oh woe is me even lol

I am extremely emotional as well so I can definitely relate! I'm sorry, I know it's hard but I do hope you feel better after writing it out here. =)

once i had my oh woe is me moment and vented i did feel a little better. Plus once he was complete his task which was fustrating him he did seek me out and apologize for his tone.

Has he ever been to therapy to help him learn how to express his emotions better? It's really tough to figure that sort of thing out on your own. Maybe a few sessions together would help both of you develop healthier interactions with one another.

@MRS_Taylor His family shouldn't even know. That should be between you, him, and the therapist.

his family frowns on that sadly so it's a battle but we have an agreement to never say anything we can not take back and to always say i love you no matter how angry we are. I have to admitt he has come so far, i am proud of his progress. But yes counsling and communication couldn't hurt. for now i'll be content with that we are both making babysteps. :)

aww :( mine is usually go lucky and down right silly but it's been a rough week for him. His illness is flaring up making him feel aweful and then the truck needed to have the motor bascially rebuilt and he had to do that all himself. we all have days. :)
