One minute I feel we are getting somewhere and then we go back, we had a row night before counselling session which turned out to be a good thing (sounds daft i know) but we were able to discuss it with the counsellor and get something out of it however, we ended up rowing that same night and I felt what we discussed and how we should be handling the way we argued went straight out the window!
Perhaps its a learning curve and it will take time and although i know and see the changes i'm making i certainly didn't feel like i had seen any on his part. I think i'm expecting way too much sometimes and then i spend time worrying about whats happened and if dh is going to change his mind about us (not productive i know) he hasn't I should add. We only have a few sessions left (they are free) I'm thinking we might need more or perhaps we should try going it alone and then review in a few months time as to whether we should go back.
