P -
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't talk to their husband about all of this. I told mine 20 years ago before we got married. I guess I wanted him to know what he was getting (tainted me) but I think I said, "my dad touched me inappropriately when I was a kid -- not big deal, just thought you should know. I don't know why I want you to know." That was it. We didn't discuss it and still don't. I *can't* bring myself to tell him about most of what goes on in therapy. Especially as we explore the topic of sex and how all this has effected that. It is still too painful and it would complicate so many things.
And I don't tell my friends either. You are right, how would they ever understand. Of course, up until 6 months ago, I could see no purpose of ever telling anyone. It was all so "dealt with and put away."
I'm glad I have babble. It is so great to share like this.
