[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]couples therapy is usually about one partner having an expectation that the other one just needs to understand and they will do so if they just listen better. It's not about actually finding compromises and mediating differences. [/quote]

Unfortunately, this was my experience. Perfect description.

I did not find the meetings helpful. We were both entrenched in our positions. No way one hour a week was enough time!  I also sensed an underlying agenda (subconsciously) by my ex. I could have been right but who knows?

The only time we had success was when we were interviewing counselors.  It was not by design: One poor man was such a flake that we laughed afterwards at the awkwardness and held hands on our way to the McClean metro before work.   That was the final breath of our marriage.

The rest of the sessions with the another person we found were unproductive. She was a top SME but we were a lost cause.

If anything it gave me hope when I should have started preparing my future and more importantly my mindset for divorce and life separation from the man I married some 15 years prior. [/quote]
