In order for counseling to work - BOTH parties need to agree that they want this relationship to be saved and to work. I’m not sure you’re both there yet…..
I personally have never been to counseling, but I know it has helped many couples pull through and become stronger. If you truly love him and he truly loves you - it doesn’t hurt to give it a try.

Instead of others counselling, u should try to understand each other. U just try identify the subjects/ matters he likes. U can propose to go for a pleasure trip. Just try to know, whether he is irritated by any of your behaviour/ interrogation, Try to know, at what point he feels happy. e.g. In case in presence of some friend or relatives, if he feel happy..let him have his company in your presence. He will feel that u pay respect whom he likes. At least in presence of such person u will feel to talk.
It may time..but the exercise is good.

It absolutely works but only when both partners are willing to do the hard work it takes to make it work. If both are not willing to be totally open to truthfully telling their side and honestly listening and both doing the work then you are just kidding yourself and you might as well go ahead with the divorce.

I don’t know anyone that it has helped, but it may. The problem is some people cannot talk to each other and that causes alot of problems or one person gets way too mad and then a big fight, not helping anything. If that is the problem, then maybe it would help. My husband has a hard time talking and he takes everything so personal, sometimes it’s impossible to talk to him. Do you want a separation? If you are no longer happy and want out basically then counceling won’t help.

I will give you the short version of counseling. You have forgtten what turned him on about you in the first place. You forgot to be sexy, and commit time to him, you have better things to do other than make your husband feel special.

He does not want to offend you, or make you feel bad so he doesnt tell you that his needs are not being met, he just ***** it up and shuts up.

This is what they call a dissconnect. If you want him to come back around, dont make the assumption he is always going to be there. Because what will happen some ***** will weasel into his life, who at least in the begining will fullfill the void you have created.

There ya go, just saved you 500 bucks.

Yes,I think you should try counseling,but only if you truly wont to stay with him.I’m saying this because counseling can only solve issues that normally couple can’t discuss about,or are unable to say what they feel to each other or hear each other out.
But if you don’t have feelings for him any more,than it’s time to separate.Just make sure you both take care for your child and make him always feel loved.

i think you explained it when you said no intimacy in the marriage..how can you communicate with each other if there is no intimacy there…for a marriage to work all functions of it must work together….communicating,,intimacy even when you don’t feel like it..maybe you should go to the counseling by yourself first. and work out some problems you have then you can work on your marriage. if you want to tell me more about what is happening with you just send me an email im a pretty good councilor my self lol…

I understand that you feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. But you should give it everything you got to try and save the relationship. Try everything that way if it doesn’t work out at least you can say that you didn’t give up without a fight. Plus when you have a child involved it is very important IMHO to do everything in your power to save the marriage.
Consulars can help, regardless of what people think. They are an outside perspective and can see things differently. Right now you are in a bubble and can’t see things from the outside. Same with him. Work on this together.

Yes counseling can help save a marriage if both of you work at it and if both of you wanna start counseling then you should give it every thing you have to save the marriage. Remember love is a commitment not just the worm and fuzzes

It didn’t work for us but think positive it may work for you.If you both want it bad enough anything can happen !
