My husband is very private, and most people wouldn’t ever think he was introverted, but he has a hard time sharing his feelings, talking about himself, or trusting people on a deep personal level. It took him a while to feel comfortable with the counselor he works with, but I think they finally have a good relationship. He talks to me a lot too, this is one of the reasons I believed in the idea our relationships do have power to influence.
But, I have this secret from him regarding my using SR and Smart. I found SR when he was in the hospital, and after this he went to rehab so it was a non issue, he never walked by when I was online and could ask me what I was doing. Later I found Smart through people here, but now I feel guilty for not being honest and divulging this to him, and whats worse is I think he might like the Smart site and possibly he would use it as a recovery tool. This part makes me feel real guilty.
