[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't do therapy until all parties stipulate that the affair was wrong.

Am I nuts?[/quote]

Nope.  Find a new therapist.[/quote]

+100.  Seriously dump this therapist. This person isn’t the right one.  He isn’t listening to you at all and so not a good therapist.  Why accept a subpar solution?[/quote]

Nope. It sounds like what you want is a mommy or daddy therapist to swoop in and tell your partner what a bad boy he is. That is not going to happen. You two are the adults in the relationship. Your job is to communicate with each other about how you feel and what you need, and to consider for yourself what your options are. The therapist's job is to help you do that better, not to take sides. You can try as many therapists as you want but none of them are going to adult for you.[/quote]

Listen, I’m not the OP but if your therapist can’t support you, there’s no trust and no point in sticking with him or her.  There are ways to be supported and still allow for discussion to occur.   Her being validated doesn’t mean that the therapist calls the husband a bad boy.  It’s a false equivalency.[/quote]
