Today, my husband and I went to our first counseling sessions, where the main focus was communication. When the therapist called us in together to discuss techniques we could use at home, my husband looked around, rolled his eyes, and responded with, "Uh huh" to every question. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband and I went to marriage counselling. I confessed something that was bothering me, but he didn't understand. Our counselor repeated word-for-word what I said right back at him. He turned to me angrily and shouted, "Why couldn't you just say that the first time?!" FML
Today, we went to couples' counselling. After a while the therapist said to me, “Madam, since we've started, your husband has managed two full sentences without you interrupting him, and most of what you said was, frankly, childish whining.” I'm starting to realise I might be the problem. FML
Today, my husband and I finally agreed on something: marriage counseling. FML
Today, after a nasty fight with my military husband, which resulted in mandatory marriage counseling, he told me we needed to talk about the fight. Not talk it over and apologize; talk it over so our stories are consistent when we see the therapist. FML
Today, I mentioned to my wife that we should try marriage counseling. She responded by denying it while throwing a carton of milk at me. FML
Today, my husband explained that talking to me makes him miserable. FML
Today, I came home and my spouse decided to bring up our past arguments. I apologized to him for the mean things I said, not conjuring his faults. I spoke to him gently and was interested in his thoughts. I validated his feelings. I was engaged in the discussion. He responded to me with, “Too little too late!” FML
Today, I went to therapy. I started talking about my childhood and my life. By the time the session was over my therapist was crying. FML
Today, I realised I may need to work on my marriage when I saw my husband in public, laughing and smiling with his coworkers, then when he saw me his smile disappeared and he stood up like a tired old man to come and speak to me. FML
Today, I tried to talk to my soon-to-be-husband about how he needs to take a more active approach in his own life. It devolved to him screaming at me and putting words in my mouth. This has been going on for six months. FML

Looks like your husband is not really interested in making your marriage work. Would you rather have an asshole husband or leave his ass and move onto someone that makes you happy. You have two choice OP good luck!

At least he didn't say "nuh uh" to any of the questions -- you gotta give the guy credit for his positive attitude.

I can't stop reading therapist as "the rapist."

You need to get laid. You're not the first person here who has this problem, but you are the first where it is legal to suggest the cure. Creeping profiles can prevent crime.

Maybe he doesn't want to be there! you guys should of talked about it together. Communication is a key lol

Perhaps they've/She already tried that. It's not called communication when only one person is doing that. If he's not willing to even make the attempt, then she needs to give him the "heave-ho".

Not to put all the blame on the therapist, obviously, but maybe he should try some new techniques to get the husband on board.

I agree 31, some therapists just don't know how to talk to the husband. Unlike the one my parents went to (when i was little, who knew what to say/ask) my father was an abusive prick who claimed the therapist blamed him for everything wrong in the marriage & took my moms side on everything...truth was told by all 6 kids & 1 wife....HE WAS to blame for her wanting to leave & remove us from his physical/mental/&emotional abuse (which finally happened 2-3 yrs later)...now 26 yrs later he STILL thinks he did nothing wrong & can't quite seem to figure out why most of us don't speak to him any more....I haven't for 5 yrs. now, it's been about 10 for my younger brother.
