[quote=Anonymous]I think it's worth it to try counseling.  My DH and I are in couples counseling now.  I too was ambivalent about it because I felt like our problems ran too deep and I just wasn't sure whether I really thought our marriage was worth saving.  What ultimately motivated me was the thought that, regardless of whether we stay together, counseling would help smooth the transition into separate households.  Like you, I was worried our counselor would try and make us have sex.  A lot of deeply rooted resentment has led to apathy on my part and I no longer feel attracted to my DH.  I wish I did.  Our counselor hasn't encouraged us to have sex, but she does encourage us to begin with small ways of connecting physically like holding hands.  To be honest, it's awkward, but getting slightly easier.  On the whole, counseling has made our house a more peaceful place to live.  I'm still not sure where I want to be in the next 10 years, but I think getting all the fighting under control will help me make my decision.  I'm sorry you feel the way you do.  Don't blame yourself.  It takes two people in the marriage to let things get to where they are.  Good luck.  [/quote]
