Question for the married men, is it ok to vent about family drama to my husband?

[Jayjay1234567890]

I have been happily married for 4 years with kids.
Love my husband so much, he's become my safe haven and the only person I feel comfortable with. He is a very good guy.

My question is before I always believed that any family matters i had with my family ( parents and siblings) i keep them there and never tell him, specially the negatives. Now he has become so close to me that I want to tell him and let it out. When I feel down i try not to show it but her started to recognize when i am feeling down and keeps asking if everything is alright, he doesn't push i just I guess makes himself available if i need to vent, and when I started to i felt SO MUCH better. And his response is so supportive of me and respectful of my family at the same time and the day that i vent he stays close to me ( hugging me, kissing me ) i'm feeling comfortable

So is it ok to vent about your family's drama to my husband?

When you married him he became your closest family member. You should be able to talk about all matters with him. I learned about every family matter my wife had that bothered her. And I supported her through all of it. If she was upset about family drama and would not vent to me, it could throw our own balance out of whack. Your husband's reactions when you vent should prove to you that he is there for you!

It is, my wife does it until I get tired of hearing about it. It's the same shit over and over. It never changes. I tell her unless you change it, I don't want to hear about it

My husband and I tell each other everything. When you get married, that person becomes your closest friend (at least that's how it's supposed to be) and you should be able to lean on each other and talk about anything that bothers you.

Sounds like he answered your question.

I am wondering why you didn’t talk to your partner about things that may bother you.

he is your partner to discuss and share love, ups and downs.
Certainly not to over so it.

[Drumlin2001]

Yes. But don't be surprised if he then has a tainted opinion of them.

It’s ok for a while but if things never change and it’s the same bs all the time it does get annoying. You get tired of hearing the same bs.

[joeldalton]

Yes. But the opposite is not true. It’s not ok to vent to your family about your husband.

Yes! My wife vents to me about every drama, especially family

That's what your marriage is for too!

[OnTheLevel]

Absolutely! You should be able to discuss anything with your spouse, good or bad.
