First post so please bare with me. I have been seeing a counselor for a majority of my life. A lot of past trauma to deal with but that isn't what this is about. About a month ago my counselor and I have been making progress towards my mental health for a past trauma. Now I know my husband has had his own opinion about counseling and I respect that. It's not for everyone. I recently expressed how I wanted my husband to be more involved in my treatment. My reason is because it's hard for me to explain what I'm going through from a medical stand point. I have a hard time communicating my distress, and my anxiety completly Shuts me down. I honestly don't know how else to describe it. I was hoping my husband would consider going with me a few times so he could maybe understand what he could do in certain situations or help me manage my anxiety and PTSD since it has affected or marraige at times. The first time I asked he said he would think about it. I asked him about 2 weeks later and he said he needed time yet. Okay that's fine. Recently his brother has been going through a lot and he has recently decided to see a counselor for his relationship. Long story there involving cheating. I told my husband about it and he started saying that they're relationship probably won't last long as his gf isn't loyal and they fight constantly since then. Then he made a comment, " It's like When you asked me to go to counseling with you. shakes his head no repeatly It just won't work out. It's pointless." And I'm sure some of you may have guessed I shut down. Because this whole time he wouldn't consider going with me and I never knew. And to express it in this way when his own brother is trying to get his own kind of help mentally just hurt more. Now I love my husband so any suggestions of leaving him isn't a suggestion to me. I don't know what I'm looking for exactly posting this. I guess I just wish he was supportive in this part of my life even if he doesn't agree with the concept of counseling. How do I approach this? Or should I just move on from this request of him?
