[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, it is unfair of him to make you responsible for his health issues.  If it's right after his surgery, however, he's feeling fragile and needs to be forgiven. A good therapist can help him understand that "stress" describes his response, not your behavior, and can help you avoid feeling either angry about the accusation or guilty about it.

On the other hand, it may be that you are the kind of person who worries out loud, and he may not be the best audience. A good therapist would at least give you someone else to talk to about your own concerns. Your feelings about therapy aren't unusual, but I think they're worth overcoming long enough to give it a try.

His cardiologist may well have told him that he needs to better understand his sources of stress as stress is a significant risk factor in heart disease and heart attacks. He may have realized that one of the main sources of his stress is his wife. What he is saying is that she (and her behavior towards him) is contributing in a significant way to his stress and to his deteriorating health. [/quote]
