Told the wife about this Blog.

October 17th, 2006 at 07:47 am

Some folks here suggested I tell my wife about this blog. Well I did just that in a counseling session tonight. She was rather taken aback. I told her that she and I were anonymous to folks here so it was perfectly fine.

The counselor explained to my wife that a great many people were blogging these days. I told my wife the whole truth about what I said here and what kind of feedback I had recieved. My DW declined to read the blog though. I feel better having told her however.

We are talking instead of screaming and that is a good start!

    I sure hope the two of you can continue to work this out. I'm glad you told her but I wish she had consented to read the blog. I think it would have really benefitted her to do so. Maybe she will one day.

    I agree. It sounds like she was shocked to hear about it, so maybe when the shock wears off she'll look at it. Good luck!

    P+: how do you feel know that you've told your wife? and about the fact the counselor "went to bat for you"?

    Tolstoy wrote in his journal every day and forced his wife to read what was a record of his innermost thoughts and feelings.

    They were not a happy couple.

    I'm proud of you! I'm glad things are going better with you and your DW. Talking is always better than screaming. Good luck!

    I'm glad things are going better, and that she agreed to go to counseling.
    I can understand her shock. Even if you are anonymous, people are reading about your life and, in your case, you have chosen to share an aspect of your life with us, but, in her case, a part of her life is being shared with a group of strangers without her knowledge....when the shock wears off, she'll see that this is much better than you sharing with all of your off-line friends, for example, and, she might want to come and read...that, too, will be a shocker and I imagine at the beginning she might even feel offended....but, again, once the shock wears off, that might open her eyes and help her ponder her actions...

    Good luck!

    My guess is that she's feeling shamed by the fact that "others" know what's been going on. Believe it or not, that just might work! Sometimes people need that kind of accountability to change their ways.

    I wouldn't push her into reading your blog, though. That one just may backfire. Too much finger pointing if you know what I mean.

    Glad to hear that you're back in counseling and not screaming. That's real progress. She just might be admitting to herself that she has a problem and is willing to work on it. See if she'll go on her own, but don't push it.
