[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For us, it did not work. My Ex wasn’t committed to it, arrived late for sessions or begged out as too busy. We ended marriage counseling after four months.

Unsurprisingly, we divorced several years later.

Both parties have to be committed to making it marriage counseling work. One person alone cannot save a relationship.[/quote]

Agree.  Same experience.  We went to two counselors and my ex wife rejected all advice from both.  [/quote]

I could have been your wife! But we went to three counselors. It was a huge time investment. I always left more frustrated and more under the microscope. I know for a fact one lady is top notch (so yes as “I’m
the problem it’s me).

Wewere both catholic. I was just a terrible listener with few conflict resolution likes in a romantic partnership. Domineering mother. Now I have a lot of regrets and guilt! But, for some (many?):  I vote no for couples therapy for reasons I explained. I don’t know … I just think self transformation is on its own timeline.

For my ex, I just think it served as objective validation that things weren’t going well. He exited. I would have loved him forever …and we both would have been miserable.[/quote]
