Hi Lookdownfish,
We haven't done couples counseling, we seriously considered it awhile back, but decided not to try it. Mainly because I have trust issues and he has big problems talking about personal things. We didn't want to pay for 50 minutes of silence.
My therapist told me that many of her clients significant others hate her without ever meeting her. My husband keeps telling me that she isn't helping me and that I'm getting worse, etc. She says that he may be afraid that postive changes in me will negatively effect him and our relationship.
I don't know what your marriage problems are, but maybe your husband feels threatened by change, too?
