I've had a terrible first year of marriage with DH and I suggested counselling which he agreed to which is a great first step. We've had the introductory session with Relate where they asked us questions which was great, then 6 weeks later (too long to wait imo) we had our first session.
DH is still confused as to why we need to go, but I'd prepared my key reasons of his bad behaviour. Making ridiculous threats to get me to do what he wants (not scary threats just a bad way to communicate. "Feed the baby now or I'm giving her a bottle" "Do this now or I'm taking away the car keys")
He won't do anything I say - particularly when it's to do with the baby and I ask him not to do something which I know will wake her up.
Anyway when I used the opportunity of counselling to say this, in the hope that we could get him to stop, he got really pissed off at me. He said there's no point doing counselling if I'm just going to slag him off.
I just wonder what to expect from the sessions. The counsellor says it is a safe space where we can talk to each other. But is she going to make recommendations to us? Or are we just going to sit for an hour each week having an argument?
