[quote=Anonymous]I know one couple who went to counselling successfully.  Wife was frequently (almost constantly) critical and condescending.  She thought she was funny or charming but she wasn't, at least much of the time, even though she seemed to love him in her good moments.  Husband was somewhat undisciplined but made a good living and was a good dad, and he obviously loved her.  Seeing them together was uncomfortable for other people because she was so insulting.

After their kids went to college, he saw an old GF at an event and they had an affair.  Realizing that he was a smart and decent looking guy who could be appreciated by someone, he decided to leave the marriage.  I wasn't surprised.

But then the wife begged to go to counselling.  She said she would change and she really did change. He probably improved too, but her changes were more obvious. They stayed together and both made a huge effort to be nice to one another. They've been together for many years since then.[/quote]
