Well I finally told my husband, guess the reaction?!

K, I posted the other day I wasn't ready to tell anyone, cus I was afraid of the pressure I would feel & I was really doing this for myself!

So Hubby walks by & says who you writing to?
I just flat out said - I'm on a sober site. No since hiding it, need to admit to someone, right?! Step 1!

He BURST out laughing. I said no really I want to be done drinking.
He again started laughing, and pretty such said he doesn't believe me at all.
When I tried to say why can't you just believe me, I would really like your support. I haven't told anyone else yet! He just said cuz I dont.

Then he throws in the whole "well actions speak louder than words"
I said I am on day 4 as of now. He laughed & said how do you figure?
So I counted the days of the week I didn't drink this week. He then had the balls to say "Yeah right". Then he left & went & wacthed TV

My heart feels so heavy right now. I'm not sure if its because he's been drinking since 6pm? Do I try to bring it up again tomorrow when he is sober? And flat ask him to support me? or do I just use this as my "I told you so thing" to prove him different. Either way I never thought after 15 yrs of marraige he would be like this to me.

Anyone else get a response like this from a loved one?
