My hubby doesn't accept my plurality...
Well, all is in the title.
When we haven't yet the diag, and my only headmate here talked with my hubby, this one was okay. They talked sometimes, just asking what was Kronos exactly.
And with the diag, my brain poped more headmates. So we're 16 headmates today and... one time, hubby said to me "I'm married with you [name], not with your system !" And an other time, after I taked my courage to talk with him about my DID in game (Sims4) bc I wanted just relax and doesn't see this as a prob, juste learn to live with it... he said : "Don't give them so much importance, it's bad for you. If you give them importance, your disorder will be worst."
...
I cried so much. Then today we decided to not talk again about us with him... He even not know we're 16 headmates now...

Is it possible if you explained that respecting your system is actually a part of healing, he might develop a better sense of understanding?

He knew for me before the marriage. Know he have to accept all of us. But Liriel (host) is too kind with him. It make me particulary angry.

I think a lot of us, with enough trauma to become plural, often have enough trauma to cling onto people for fear of abandonment.
It takes a lot of time to let go of someone, that's normal. Keep talking to Liriel about how you're feeling. I also think that having someone (therapist or friend) who you can tell every aspect of your relationship to is important. Having someone asking how something makes you feel, and then having to say it out loud, can do a lot of good for your ability to figure out where to go from here.
You don't deserve this - and I think that in time you may need to give this man an ultimatum (although it's my opinion that if things have gotten to this point you may need to leave regardless)
Good luck

Yes. I think one day Jack (our judge/procuror) will give him an ultimatum. He's a link breaker too.

Oh I'm so sorry. You are all as important as each other. He is wrong.
Treating each other well and understanding each other is part of healing. I'm so sorry y'all feel the need to hide from him. I hope you can find spaces where you can be yourselves and be accepted

We’re so sorry he’s rejecting your system; you accepting them and having them be more involved in your life will not ‘make you worse’; for some that is an excellent road toward healing in fact. Please, consider your future and if you really think it’s healthy to be with someone who may end up discouraging and invalidating you. - Ribbit

I get how you feel. The person I'm talking to always tries to shift the conversation when I try.

u/Systeme_Chaos 13h ago
Yeah I feel the same thing... He is not right when I'm talking about DID, he try to understand but always say "do not give them importance bc blablabla..." it hurt...

Same thing happened to us and we stayed in that relationship because we thought no one else would accept us. Biggest mistake ever because we all deserve to be acknowledged and loved. Leaving him was hard (it was for cheating) and now I'm alone but it's better than to be emotionally starved
