Wendy, I'm a lot like you. I like to talk with people and that use to irritate my H. Before we arrived to a school event, etc. he would let me know that we needed to get in and out and not stop to talk to anyone. How ridiculous is that? He was basically telling me to deny a huge part of myself. Isn't it ironic that he left because I was controlling? Since depression and self esteem issues are part of MLC I'm assuming that is what causes your H's anxiety. My H has told me that he's anxious around me also and in his mind that is all my fault. Unfortunately, he has been depressed and anxious most of his life and refuses the aknowledge and take responsibility for these issues. It's too easy to blame others.
