[quote=Anonymous]How are you responding when your husband shared about these calls from family members? Are you getting worked up, angry and upset? Are you telling him how he should respond and what you’d like to say? If so, I would invite you to not do that. My guess is that your husband is so stressed out because he is trying to please everyone, including you. Stop being one of those people he has to please in this situation. When he comes to you telling about a call with his brother badgering him, don’t respond emotionally by getting upset. Just listen. Paraphrase back: “Sounds like you gave your answer, but he’s choosing not to listen. I can tell that’s frustrating you. How did the call end?” “So another call came and you ended it. Sounds like you handled it. Is there anything else?” He knows what he needs to do. He just needs to do it. Be supportive. Don’t be another person he has to manage here. [/quote]
