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

Good start
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

Fixed it
Today, my fiance finally began seeing a therapist, after months of my begging him to. The therapist convinced him that he and I had "irreconcilable differences" so now he's asked for the ring back. FML

Mask off
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 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, 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

Well that's better than agreeing to divorce. Good luck!

Hopefully agreeing on that now will mean you disagree on a divorce later.

Her name is Teen_Facts. It's very unlikely that her facts will have any sense of intelligence.

12- Exactly. You would think that OP would be glad that instead of sweeping everything under the rug, having an affair or asking for a divorce, her husband wants to work everything out and try to fix it. Yes, FYL your marriage needs help and isn't perfect, but be grateful that someone loves you enough to try.

Don't worry when she asks you to leave the room for a one on one conversation.. You'll get your turn! :D

We wish you much luck, OP. Hopefully both of you take this as an opportunity to better your relationship! :)

My entire family had to get counseling and we all found it helpful. They help you realize that there are things you can do to prevent situations from escalating. Good luck!

at least he agreed to make a go of things. there are so many FMLs where the husband doesnt give a shit and would rather just get a divorce. i honestly hope everything turns out for the best
