Feeling like there is no outlet

I felt so bitchy and miserable today. H asked if I was depressed then asked what was wrong, then made comments about me going to therapy and do I know the backround on the person , who was it, where was I going, why did I already make an appointment. Blah blah blah. I was getting angry that he kept asking me all these questions. I wanted to tell him to leave me alone and mind his own damn business. I told him he tries to judge all the time and he disagreed. I told him I have anger and resentment and want to deal with it. Why does he always have to make his comments and act like a know it all? Why cant he just let me do my thing?
I am feeling very clastrophobic and wish could do my own thing without constant scrutiny!

Hi renewal,

I don't have the same issues as you do with a partner who is giving there views on something we feel is important. I have had family members give there opinion and I have felt similiar to what you maybe feeling today. My experience is if I am feeling unsure of my choice I have felt frusteration at that person. Now I am trying to recgonize my choices for my reasons and feel satisfied without being swayed. I put alot of value in others opinions and nothing in my own. I am not sure if this will help you, but maybe you can listen to what your has to say and say you appreciate his input and then tell your side of why it is important to you and what

Sorry renewal I posted withou finishing,

cont.- and what you would like to get out of it. People can have their opions but it doesn't take away from yours:)

When things get a little tough try not to think of xap I have found that to me I am just trying to escape and not deal with an issue.

Take care:)
