I thought most therapists were in therapy. To help them process all the negativity that they hear every day. How odd. I know my friend goes off on seminares etc and continues to work on being self actualized. It sounds like your husband is prideful.

I am not sure about the talking. I think I would have loves my husband to just talk truthfully with me like that. Only you know what will work for the two of you.

I understand how difficult it is to deal with someone who refuses to address their "stuff" I am not sure about your husband, but in my husband's case, I think therapy would be about changing and he doesn't see a need to change anything. He intends to continue taking prescription drugs, smoking and keeping secrets.

Sounds like you are doing great handling everything.
