[quote=Anonymous]It's insanity that you are considering divorce when you only did THREE -- count them, three -- counseling sessions. You blame your failure to follow through on counseling on the counselor's health problems. No, it is your job to find a counselor and make this a priority. It is not unusual at all for married couples to need help communicating. You need to BOTH consider how you contribute to your marriage problems. I don't see you doing that. You are making your spouse out to be the bad guy and not thinking about how your overall dynamic works--why did you choose this guy to marry, of all people, and how do you contribute to your failure to act as a team. The idea of acting as a single mother and shutting him out is insane. No. You should be INCREASING your contact with him, via couples therapy. You have three kids. Your expenses, when trying to support TWO households, will go way up. You don't even know that your marriage can't improve! You haven't even really given counseling a try! And you may say to yourself, oh, he won't change. But YOU may need to change how you approach things to get him to change. Your situation sounds stressful and I can see why you just want to run away but that is not the mature thing to do. The mature thing would be to prioritize trying to improve your marriage and make the counseling sessions happen, and not make excuses. [/quote]
