We believe in being honest as members of this truth, no matter how it may impact our ego. This is ever critical in our most intimate of relationships. Showing our most vulnerable self in close relationships can be very healing if we so choose the exposure. This sister's concern is valid and worth further in-depth conversation and restoration. It seems that there is disparity between individual core values, which would be very concerning and impacting. Because there are always two sides to any story, Professional guidance, beyond this article would be prudent for rebuilding communication and trust in such a scenario. Bless you!

I would be curious to know how this problem would be described from the husbands side. Is it possible that the wife is hyper-critical, making the husband reluctant to share things with her? I ask this because it seems that he was willing to share more about his teenage years with the son than he was with the wife. To me, there are two sides to this problem. Clearly, the husband needs to share more. But the wife needs to also do her part to help create a safe, trusting environment.
