Marriage counseling with possible divorce
Family & Caregivers / by triplee711

...See more My husband and I just started marriage counseling after discussing divorce, which came up during a high emotion, yelling fight. I had tried to get him to join marriage counseling for a couple years but he's very reluctant to go back to couples therapy because he feels he didn't get anything out of it when we went for a few short weeks 10 years ago, that we only focused on his faults and not mine. He lost his job back then and we stopped because we couldn't afford it. I don't want a divorce and regret being the one to blurt it out in anger to begin with but he's made several decisions moving forward with severing our marriage (getting a temporary place to live but came home after 3 days, telling all his friends). But he also was the one to offer to go to counseling now, although I'm baffled as to why and he has yet to answer why even indirectly. I'm not sure how to proceed with counseling to be honest, the first session went.....not great, and our counselor seems baffled by our relationship dynamic, insisting we focus on setting goals. Has anyone else felt lost or without direction when starting marriage counseling?
