Can't talk to spouse about OBE/AP ...

[scout]

Anyone else in the same boat? My husband doesn't believe me. I didn't seek this type of experience out. It found me recently when I had an OBE one night. Now I'm very interested in it all and have visited the astral a few times since.  It's life changing and wonderful yet hubby refuses to talk to me about it. He looks at me like I'm crazy.  Ouch.  We normally tell each other everything. I don't know how to deal with this.

give it time and be patient with them, its a life altering thing to accept

 Our belief systems are strong they are the foundation and essence of all of ourselves. That is why it is so hard for people to believe anything out side of their comfort zone. It might have challenged the way he has lived his life. Let him have his beliefs, possibly one day he will accept the Astral as well. Mary Jo, my better half, believes in what I do, but she does not want any part of it. She says she likes to have her feet on the ground at all times.

Hey Scout.

I have nobody to really talk to about this in person. I told my mom but I think she either thinks it's a side effect of medication or just a really vivid dream.

That's why I really enjoy it on here. I get to talk about it with people. It's hard for some people to understand. I know back in the day if someone told me they astral traveled I would have probably thought they lost it. Now look at me!  I think we all just learn when we are ready.

Your comment, "it's life changing and wonderful" raised an alert for me. Discovering spirituality and the expanded reality can be life-changing and there is no closing the box, once it's been opened. I'd suggest that you be aware of and guard against simply growing apart from your husband as you, effectively, leave him behind on your life's path.

The solution that Lionheart and his partner have found does work for many. The grounded partner can continue to provide support and keep the more enlightened one from forgetting that they are still living a life here. Their love and shared understanding can help to keep them together and growing together.

I agree.  My husband, even though has seen a lot and supports me, is the grounded one in the relationship, and this helps keep us balanced.
Scout, if he's uncomfortable with it, don't share your adventures with him, unless it's very important.   Eventually he'll either accept it or completely reject it, depending on how y'all's relationship is in general.

Thanks everyone! I will take your advice and give it time and not tell him any more. He's been my best friend for the last 6 years so it's hard to accept that I can't share this with him. I've proven to him that my intuition has grown as a result of this process. He will listen to me about that. It's easier for him to accept my intuition because that is something I can prove. I'm fine with him being the grounded one. It just hurts when he says he doesn't believe me about anything else I'm experiencing and doesn't even care to hear me talk about it. I will try to accept the fact that he's not ready to understand and may never be in this lifetime. It just really sucks. I don't want us to grow apart over this. I refuse to let that happen. I feel a wall starting to go up between us though-- one that I'm creating because I'm hurt right now and because he doesn't understand. I will have to work on that and keep on working at it. Thanks again for all the advice. I'm so glad I found this forum.
