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

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

Consider this a good thing! Not an FML. You obviously love each other enough to try. :) Good luck, OP!

Why is this an FML agreeing to marriage counseling is a good thing.

Either you'll both find a better path forward together, or a new path. Either way, the cards will be on the table and hopefully you won't live the rest of your lives being hateful towards one another. Good luck. To me this seems like a good thing all things considered.

I don't think this truly merits an FML or a YDI. It sucks that you're having problems in your marriage, but the fact that you're both willing to try and fix it (and that you both agree there's a problem in the first place) is a definite positive. Good luck to you and your husband, OP. Wishing you both the best.

Well, in a way, that's actually *good* news. Hopefully it means you're both committed to staying together and working out your differences. It also means that both of you have some hope that your problems *can* be worked out, rather than one or both of you simply throwing in the towel. Good luck!
