[quote=Anonymous]For me and my spouse, couples therapy involved a lot of questions directed at both of us, with follow up.  The questions often made us uncomfortable. They covered lots of topics, including how we like to have fun, why we married, why we don't have sex, what we used to like about sex, how we interact with each other, how we make parenting decisions, etc. The answers each of us gave were sometimes eye opening. After a month or two, the therapist said she thought she should see my spouse alone.  My spouse and the therapist then saw each other without me for several sessions. We then had another session as a couple and the therapist eventually said she did not understand why I was staying in the marriage.  The same thing happened with two different therapists.  My spouse was very resentful about the whole process and hated being critiqued.  We stayed together for many more years but are divorced now. I don't think it was a waste of time but it didn't help much. In private, my spouse was very disrespectful and self centered and had no interest in changing. I had problems too, but both therapists said they needed to work with my spouse and both gave up.
