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.

Eventually this won't be an fml, it seems like you both want to stay together so you're already on the right track!

Jeeez.. Why bother if you start out with the attitude that getting counseling to resolve whatever is troubeling in your relationship is a FML?.. You could spare the expences and get a good divorse lawyer instead.. Don't look at it like that and be thankfull that you and your partner are willing to go all out to make it work.. Good luck OP..

I agree. An FML would be; my husband and I agree on everything except staying married.

Look at it as a step foward OP :) Hopefully everything will work out. At least you're both trying!

I fail to see the FML here. On the bright side, agreeing to marriage counseling sounds like progress being made. Good luck to you and your husband op; I hope it works out.

At least you know he wants to try and work on your marriage and he isn't just giving up.

I don't see how this is an fml. I mean your marriage may not be great, but you are both in agreement that you want to continue married and get help to solve the issues that you may have. This is a good thing. This means you both still love each other and are putting effort in the relationship. Not many can say this.

Better than agreeing on a divorce. Counseling can help alleviate a lot of animosity. Give it a try.

At least neither of you are suggesting divorce... you're both wanting to try and fix your marriage. It sucks that things aren't going great right now but the fact that you both want to make the effort to change that for the better is great... hope it works out for you.
