Help me explain this to my husband

[Anonymous]

This isn't meant to be snarky AT ALL, op... however, have you thought about getting your anxiety treated?

Your overwhelming urge to be places on time sounds like it goes overboard and it starts to teeter on acting irrational at times.

Thus, it seems like your husband is probably frustrated with this based on his answer and he's becoming resentful of you for the way you act or lash out when your anxiety starts to get the best of you (btw, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with wanting to be on time to your commitments, as it shows a great respect for other people's time, as well as a great sense of responsibility).

I just wouldn't want you to keep going down this path with your husband, as it may not be so bad now but resentment is devious and it's dark, it grows, spreads and is incredibly damaging to a marriage.

If you haven't gone to treatment yet, you may want to think about it, as your children will probably pick up on your anxiety as well (if they haven't yet) and if they think that it's normal, develop it themselves.
