Does anybody else have a hard time being able to bring up certain things to spouses. Being able to talk to them through situations your going through?

Unless it was classified, or a personal confidence, my wife knew everything. She was a great sounding board and an even better adviser. Some of my peers and seniors told me I was crazy. My wife and I have been married 36+ years without a major fight.

And if so. How do you go amongst talking to them? I’m a team leader right now and I don’t talk to her much about work orif I’m going through anything and of corse she doesn’t like it.

If you’re not discussing things about work to a spouse that’s open to listening, then you’ll have to ask yourself why you don’t want to include her. Even though you’re the one who’s actively serving, as your spouse she is serving as well. Talking with her can be an outlet for you, not to mention she can help you to get a different perspective on different situations. I hope this helps.

If the situations you are going through are going to effect her also, you have to find a way to let her know what's going on. Remember, she probably married you because she thought you were something special, and if the marriage is still good, her feelings probably haven't changed. try to explain the situation as well as you can, she may not understand totally, but she will probably appreciate your talking because you are making her part of your life.
So ends my chaplain gig!
