My husband is on medication and (finally) seeing a therapist to help him deal with his PTSD. He hasn't been seeing the therapist for long. But I've noticed that while he used to get angry when I try to discuss our marital problems with him, he now gets very quiet and changes the subject. I suppose that is better than punching holes in the walls and yelling at me, but I wonder if it can actually be considered progress. Is it a step forward, or just a sidestep into an entirely different problem? Is this a phase that a lot of people go through? And how should I handle it? I don't want to push him too hard, but I do want to make it clear that if we want to fix the problems that have been building up for the past two years, we will eventually have to talk.
Thanks in advance for your responses!
