[quote=Anonymous]I also have a spouse with bad anxiety. It’s exhausting to deal with and has killed our marriage. I sucked it up for years but I’m just so tired of constantly being yelled at and blamed for everything, then 10 minutes later getting an apology with the excuse of “my anxiety”. At this point I don’t even want an apology because I know it’s going to happen again the next day (but if I don’t accept an apology, his anxiety gets worse and he blows up). I’ve had to become dismissive to protect my own sanity, and everyone sees me as a very cold, distant wife, but if I didn’t do it I’d go crazy.

What kills me is he CAN control himself. He’s very high functioning at work, and everyone would be shocked to hear he has a problem. He knows that if he behaved at work the way he does at home, he’d be fired. But since I’m his spouse, I’m expected to just take it. The one person who I feel is on my side is our marriage counselor, who flat out told me I need to divorce him because he’s not going change.

Try to treat your husband with the same kindness and empathy you expect from him. You’re not the only one struggling.
