i suffered a bereavement recently and am feeling a bit shite still, although functioning pretty well i think. at the same time, my relationship with my OH has gone downhill, mostly because i've stopped putting any effort in i think. i really REALLY don't want sex with him, and pretty much cringe when he comes near me. our relationship has never been brilliant and for some time i've thought that we would be better off apart, but obviously with the DCs its not that simple. basically i don't love him and i'm not sure that i want to continue. however, because of the DCs i recognise i ought to at least give it a go.
my question is: does a fairly recent bereavement mean that relationship counsellors would just tell me to go away and give it another six months, or would they be prepared to engage with us now?
any other wisdom/insights gratefully received. if you recognise me please keep schtum!
