COVID, depression and marriage woe.

Hello, firstly, your fears are justifiable and understandable. You have undergone intensive surgeries and are vulnerable to exposure to the virus. Your concerns about your health and safety are extremely important and, in fact, needed. If your husband is making you feel more worried about your health and unsafe with his actions, you need to talk to him and make him understand. Openly address your concerns about feeling uncared for and unloved with him and let him know his actions affect you not only on a mental but a physical level. Taking appropriate precautions is not only for the sake and safety of you but also for others with whom he may come in contact. Each individual effort to curb the virus will help reduce the number of infections and if your husband is careless, it can result in the numbers going up severely. Apart from the obvious physical threats that can further weaken your body, mental strain can also negatively affect your healing process. If your concerns about your husband cause more mental exhaustion, then they must be addressed swiftly and properly. Perhaps, if you fear that confronting him by yourself may make him more defiant or closed off, then you can seek professional help to address your concerns. If you prefer, you can start with individual therapy and slowly start to involve your husband by changing to couples therapy. Expert mental health help can furnish you with the necessary skills to deal with the stress and anxiety that you currently feel. It can also help you deal more appropriately with your husband. With the help of a professional, you and your husband, both can learn new and more effective ways to communicate with each other without feeling like one is attacking or lecturing the other.

Definitely it isn't too much to Ask.. Yet, it does matter how much you ask and how do you Ask... He is aware about your condition like your parents, still he has concerns about you as his life partner.. He is definitely not a replacement for your parents.. His role is different as he do not know the severity about your issues.. I suggest you to consult a psychological Counselor for a clarity and understanding about yourself..
