Answer Bernadette,
I would suggest since you are seeing a counselor you bring this up to that person. They would know you much better than I. I will say one thing though. Why are you still with a guy like this. He is not treating you well and one could say it is just another form of abuse. That would be the discussion to have...are you scared to leave...do you rely on him too much etc...It does not sound like a healthy relationship where one grows.
