[quote=Anonymous]How long have you two been in counseling? In my experience with both personal counseling and couples counseling, things often get worse before they get better. I think it's because you're really dealing head on with issues you've been avoiding. I'd bring it up with the counselor and see if s/he thinks you are making the type of progress that would be expected. As far as the kids go, I think a well-handled divorce is better than a bad marriage. Not sure that it's better than a decent but not great marriage. Having 2 under 3 is extremely stressful and not an easy time in any marriage. I have seen couples split when the kids are very young, and then they have a good co-parenting relationship as the kids get a bit older. I've often wondered if they would have had a good relationship together once they survived the hell-storm of babies and toddlers. [/quote]
