I'm feeling very lucky after reading all of your posts. My husband is super supportive about therapy (I think there's a lot of the same stuff many of you mentioned re: hiring a professional and taking pressure off of him). He knows that I'm dying to talk about therapy, and that it's healthy if he knows what I'm working on. So we have our Saturday mornings set aside to have a "therapy report". Then he gives me his weekly report about his life as well. It gives us a chance to communicate about important stuff, while also making the time for scary discussions more limited and predictable. The best part is that if I don't bring it up, he'll say, "It's time for the therapy report." And he'll dog me until I give him the report. So, I know he cares. God, I wish I could share him around with all of you.
Also, it clearly has never occurred to him to be jealous of my T. He isn't jealous of anyone. I could take a 2 week vacation in Hawaii with a buff and attractive male friend, and he'd never be jealous.
