Honesty can be difficult, especially in sensitive situations.

In this story, a woman attended a therapy session with her husband, and the therapist asked about his anger issues.

She chose to tell the truth.

Her husband later became upset and claimed her honesty meant she didn’t truly love him.

Uh oh! Sounds like there’s a bigger issue here. Check out the full details below.

AITA for telling my husbands therapist something he didn’t want me 2.

My husband (50M) and I (43F) have been married for almost 20 years.

He has always had a problem with saying very hurtful things when he is angry.

He had to go see a therapist today.

Myself and our daughter (13F) went with him as support.

This woman shared her husband’s anger issues with the therapist.

He was very nervous.

After she spoke with him for a while, she asked to speak to me privately. She asked me if he had anger issues.

I told her the truth.

He got mad, and now, she feels bad.

He is angry at me for telling her about what he does when he is angry. Should I have kept my mouth shut? Did I do the right thing?

He says I do not really love him. And me saying what I did proves it.

I feel like a total piece of human waste right now.

AITA?

Being honest in therapy is exactly what it’s meant for… even if it feels uncomfortable.

OP didn’t betray her husband. She just gave the therapist the information needed to actually help him.

If anything, honesty like that shows commitment to making things better, not worse.
