A few weeks ago, my husband and I weren't getting along very well and I wasn't feeling that great about my marriage and things in general I asked my therapist if my husband and I were all that different from other couples. He starting talking about his own marriage and how well they understand each other, how they don't take things personally if one is in a bad mood, etc. It really pissed me off because at the time it seemed kind of superior and self-righteous. Then about 2 weeks later, I had a bad week, feeling down about my life and what I've accomplished and I started thinking how someone like him could never be interested in me, etc. So when I started to talk about it (the depression) during a session, I held the part about him back. As a result, I felt like I was only telling him half the story. I did write the letter but I haven't sent it, it makes my stomach hurt to read it and think about sending it. I just think if I don't, I'll chicken out and won't say anything in therapy.
And...I remember that SNL skit! Thanks for the laugh!
