On top of dog dying have to deal with angry spouse

As if I do not have enough on my plate.  Spending my last days with my dying dog has got my husband all grumpy and snippy.  I feel like I am dealing with an emotional child that got stunted during his development.  I know it is not his fault, I have PTSD, but I am tired of his judgement.  When i pat my dying dog or massage his sore back my husband gets snippy and looks at me as though I am wasting my time.  He decides when to feel empathy, always has it does not flow involunartyly.  


I know I have marriage problems, but when I am this down and crying I know have to deal with his judgemental looks.  He must have had a horrible childhood to treat others who care about him this way.

I want to say Piss on him. Regardless of our diseases, no reason to make others lives miserable. That dog is 100% dependent on you to care for it's needs. At the end of life, so important to know that we are not alone and in comfort. Your priorities are right on and maybe your husband needs a time out.

Not even the love of my life can be my everything. There are aspects of me that I don't expect him to understand, not ever. I take those points to other members of my network. Places like here.

Keep sharing, Musk. We understand. You are not alone.

    Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

    Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
