[quote=Anonymous]Perhaps you can work this from another angle. Instead of telling him that he shouldn't worry about things (really when has that ever worked for you?), validate his feelings. Say things like "I can see that you are really worried about this, is there anything I can do to help". Also, make sure he is getting regular vigorous exercise, eating well, and regular sex. Hopefully these things will help bring his anxiety level down enough for him to see how crazy he's been acting. I would also suggest that you go to therapy for help with how to deal with your husband's anxieties and not let them affect you. Have you told your DH how his worries are making you feel? That you would prefer not to spend more than an hour a day worrying about the house (set a time!). Anything to break his pattern. I know this is difficult but I think with a little patience and some support you can help him relax a little.[/quote]
