[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is stopping you from asking your therapist about this approach and line of questioning? Why wouldn't you just say, "I'm pretty pissed and raw over Bubba's infidelity. Can we talk about that?"[/quote] He shuts me down and says we need to stay positive and talk about a positive way forward. Which I am not against, but it seems fruitless if we don't also talk about the past issues.[/quote] "Well, I don't see a positive way forward unless we can unpack the hurt that Bob's infidelity brought to this relationship. Are you asking me to repress my feelings of hurt and pain?" If you can't even talk about how you're feeling, then you'll never get to a place where you can work on your marriage. I don't believe that infidelity is an automatic divorce. But I do believe that not being able to talk honestly about how you're feeling in the therapy setting is a non-negotiable. Find a new therapist. [/quote]
