[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I have always been pretty incompatible (extrovert-introvert:) But always made it work.  Then boom, we both hit our 40s and DH becomes more and more unsatisfied with the way things are.  He starts pushing for a separation and divorce.  So we go into therapy. We've been doing it for 2 months now.  We have our ups and downs.  But the more I am doing it, the more unsure I am if it is doing us any good.  Has therapy helped anyone here, on DCUM?[/quote]

Nothing saves anything without wanting to be saved. In the case of a marriage, both people have to be seeking solutions. Doesn't matter if one has a desire level of 9 and the other 7...they both want it more than not. If your DH is doing so without a significant interest...he's at a 3...it isn't likely to do any good. Sometimes people agree to go with a minor interest/desire, sometimes it is also as a means to be able to say...tried it and it didn't work.

BTW...extrovert/introvert...is not always incompatible...sometimes they provide a very strong union.[/quote]
