Have any of you ladies tried Marriage counseling with your partner ? How did it go

[elle]

I went to counselling with my ex - made me realize how MUCH I needed to leave him to be honest. Counselling became an obvious time each week where he'd try to make me look bad, lie and manipulate the counselor and I into believing his stories and excuses. We did have 2 counselors - the first counselor was absolutely terrible and solved NOTHING - made our communication much more tense. The second counselor was great but called him on his shit so he finally stopped going. Be VERY careful in picking a counselor - ask for referrals from church pastors/priests, relatives, etc. Don't go into it blindly...

I wish you luck and good communication. ((( hugs ))) -elle

Going through this right now with my hubby. We have been seeing seperate counselors for a few months now. Eventually, we will be seeing the same marriage counselor but agreed to go seperate first to work on our own individual issues.

I think that's a great idea. I think, when a couple doesn't do that, it runs the risk of being nothing but a finger-pointing session.
