Your wife will understand, and honestly she probably wants you to talk more about your feelings. I know with guys, you don't like talking about feelings or anything, but women love it. And they especially love when their men feel comfortable enough with them to confide in them about it. My husband is in the military also, and he doesn't like talking about feelings either. But when he does, I still have the same amount of respect for him, if not more, and it really increases our relationship.

If there is anything you want to talk with your wife about...you should definitely do it. She will love you for it.

Also, I am so sorry about the PTSD and anxiety. Counseling might really help that. I know it doesn't sound very manly, but it really is a very good thing despite all the connotations of that word. And no one will think less of you as a person for getting it. You go to a doctor for your physical health when you are sick, so going to a counselor for your mental health and overall well being can be just as helpful, and usually incredibly more helpful, than medicines.

Amen, bjemaja! What does your husband do in the military?

Bjemaja,

Please tell your husband "thank you" for his service!
