VerifiedKansasTherapist : Hello
KansasTherapist : I don't think you're over reacting.
KansasTherapist : His behavior is certainly disrespectful and you have a right to expect better.
KansasTherapist : since this started relatively recently, it makes me wonder what has happened in his mind that has changed his attitude toward you.
KansasTherapist : Do you have any ideas?
Customer:
Yes, he is overworked at his job. He works 55 + hours a week and he claims he is very tired. He was promoted last year to a more sr. level and there is alot expected of him. But I still don't think that is reason to get fresh with me. I get tired too. I just tell him I am tired and don't want to talk at the moment. I have a very even tempurement and I am very easy to get along with. But when I get pushed too far, I just leave the situation. I almost left the other night to go to a hotel, just to leave for a few days, not sure if this is a good idea. Seems like I am running away, and I don't want to do that. I do love him very much....but I am not going to take being spoken to like this.
KansasTherapist : I agree you shouldn't accept the way he's treating you. Right now, you and your feelings don't seem to be a priority to him. Perhaps taking a break for a few days will remind him that he needs to make an effort of he wants to maintain his marriage.
KansasTherapist : If you're gone for a few days, and he responds by taking your unhappiness with the way he's treating you more seriously, seeing a therapist for couples counseling seems like a good idea.
Customer:
You think leaving for a few days may be beneficial?
KansasTherapist : I do think it could give him some time to think about how he's acting.
Customer:
I know this will anger him more and then it will take time for him to get over it. He can be immature like this. My biggest fear is he'll enjoy my being gone. I guess better to find out now than many years later. (BTW, I am his third wife) This may be a clue too.
KansasTherapist : Yes, being married two times before does suggest he has a hard time with the day to day maintenance of a marriage.
Customer:
Could the change towards me mean he's possibly having an affair?
KansasTherapist : That's not out of the question. Has he had affairs in his other marriages?
Customer:
No, I have asked him and he is not a liar. But it feels like he's testing me, to see how much I will take. Sometimes, he's completey checked out mentally. Is this because he is a man or is it because he just can't deal with things?
KansasTherapist : it sounds like stress to me .
Customer:
I think alot of it is due to stress also. But if he speaks badly to me again, I am definitely going to a hotel for 2-3 days.
Thank you and have a great day

Is there a fee. I need quick advice on how to handle a
I need quick advice on how to handle a family issue with Christmas coming up. My 22 year old step son have my 15 year old daughter marijuana last July while my husband and I were on vacation. When I called him to confront him about it, he hung up on me and we haven't spoken since. My husband and him talked with each other and settled it, but I never got an apology. My husband wants to have him over for Christmas. And I feel like it's disrespectful to me, even though my husband told him"it would be nice if you apologize to her". Nothing was taken care of. He would still have him over regardless. I'm upset with both of them. This has been a pattern over the years where his son was disrespectful to me and would get away with it. I feel like telling him not to come over to my house if he can't apologize to me. My husband gets veryr angry when I bring this up and tells me I have issues. Thank you … read more
