Recently I told my husband about having a therapy consult, and his reaction was to tell me “You know you can talk to me about anything, right?”

The consultation was Wednesday.

Fast forward to Thursday, when I talked to him on his lunch break I told him that there was something we needed to talk about and he said we would talk after he got home that evening. I wasn’t home when he got there, because I had things I needed to do for the trip that I’m on. But when I got home he was eyeballs deep in his phone.

I still needed to cook dinner, so I figured that we would talk after we ate. Dinner came and went, and he avoided me. And eventually went to bed without a word.

So much for being able to talk to him about “anything”

And I don’t want this conversation to happen in that headspace because it will turn angry for both of us. Resentment does that, and I’m afraid that’s what this is turning into.
