DH and I are in a bad place and both feel hopeless about reconnecting. We barely speak, sleep separately, haven’t had sex in months … there’s resentment and negativity from both of us. We’ve tried therapy many times without success. We have children, which is why we’re together.

Today I read the linked article and agreed with a lot of what it said. DH is a good person, but some years ago he did some things at a vulnerable point in my life which completely shattered my trust and faith in him. In my mind there’s a distinct ‘before’ vs. ‘after’ these events in the timeline of our relationship and the after years have been rough.

I feel like the article gives a blueprint for moving past a relationship rupture. Do any of you identify with this, and is there any hope of repairing things after years of toxicity? Are there any good therapists in the DC area that actually help?

To me the hours and $$$$ that we spent in therapy were a waste, but no therapist ever touched on points in this article. (One said contempt’s bad and gratitude’s good  - she was Imago-based, IIRC - but never really got to the crux of things.)
