[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you want from him exactly? Is this cancer tumor? [/quote]

I want to be able to talk to my spouse about how scared and worried I am without him getting angry at me (as though he thinks I did something to cause this just to annoy him).  I also want him to ask me how I'm doing once in a while.  I want to feel seen during a difficult time, and not ignored.

I think my expectations are pretty realistic.[/quote]

My BFF has the same situation, she feels like she is the one with cancer and yet her husband expects to be comforted. It’s a complete communication breakdown that like yours, hasn’t improved with time. She recently got some tough news from a scan and called me and said she didn’t even want to tel her husband because she needs support and he can’t give it.

Your expectations are completely reasonable and I’m sorry you are dealing with both your health issues and your spouse. No advice but wanted to say you are not alone. Glad you have a therapist. [/quote]
