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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

I see your problem OP, and here it is. He's the man, you're the woman. Get out of that office and make sure there' s a hot porterhouse with 10 pounds a mashed potatoes when he gets home from wasting his time. What happened to the 50's when a woman's dream was to be a wife in a kitchen?

In case you didn't know this, men don't like "sharing" with strangers. Give it a few sessions. It might be eye opening for him. Men tend to be more logical and less emotional and anything emotional gives them that famous fight or flight instinct. He will come around. Be patient. You can't change overnight an neither can he.

Why are so many people suddenly suggesting a new husband just because there relationship is having a tough spot. I guess these are the same people that run away from anything when the going gets tough. When you say I do, you are saying you are committed through thick and thin. Divorce should be the absolute last resort in a relationship only after trying everything else.

Absolutely this! The divorce rate is so high because people don't take time to actually understand what a marriage means and they just move on to the next person when one little thing goes wrong.

What ever happened to men stepping up and supporting the family? I guess that is where that dream went.
