[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Condemnation is for the clergy.  Go to a priest.[/quote]

in my first marriage, our secular couple’s therapist was really chill and neutral until he learned about my then-H’s years long, expensive emotional affair. He never used the word wrong, but he said damaging, breach of trust, gaslighting, and a number of other things that were pretty condemning. It temporarily helped us reconcile, but most of all, it helped me move on to divorce eventually.[/quote]

Did your therapist say all of that in the first session?[/quote]

No. We were in therapy for three months before I found evidence that could not be Pooh-poohed away by my now-ex. Prior to that, our therapist was really neutral and non-judgmental. He expressed that our biggest issue was miscommunication. When I show my evidence, I think he felt my then-H had also fooled him. It made it easier to get at the real meat of the problem which was lying and narcissism. [/quote]
