I usually say to my husband, “I am not ready to talk about this yet, give me some time to myself first.” I usually just sit quietly in our bedroom and he stays in the front of the house. Sometimes I can come back in a few minutes, but other times it takes me a while to process and I am not ready to talk yet even though I come back to the room.
I have improved at receiving constructive criticism from bosses or colleagues, but it’s still incredibly difficult for me to hear any negative comments from my husband- I take everything way worse from him specifically. My sister could say the same exact thing and I would agree with her and feel fine, but if he were to say it I would feel hurt.

I admit it doesn’t make sense!
Sometimes it can take some time.
