Re: What do you tell your DH?

My DH always asks me after a therapy session if I've been cured yet. I've gone through being annoyed by this question, to trying to be amused by it, to ignoring it, and last week I told him that as long as we were married to each other, I would likely be in therapy.

The questions never go any further than that. Sometimes he'll look with suspicion at something that I'm reading, and I'll tell him that it's "homework for therapy" and that ends the discussion. I honestly think that he's a bit in awe of the work that I've done, but can only bring himself to make his jokes about it.

I do know that he and I have both benefited from my attending therapy. This past summer, for example, was really trying, while we had his grown daughter living with us - my T helped me get through some extremely difficult times.

All I know is that my DH does not begrudge the money we spend on my therapy - none of my treatment is covered by our inadequate insurance. I'm grateful for his silent endorsement.
