In short, the answer is a loud and passionate YES, YES, YES.............it IS allowed to go back to your relationship which includes arguing and sticking up for yourself. I felt damned good the first time my husband actually fought back with me after my treatments were done,etc. It made me feel like HE believed I was ok.........rather than him being passive and treating me with kid gloves on.
I say go a few rounds with him, get it off your chest.......then you have at least opened doors to areas that need to be discussed.
Good luck with it,
Minnie
