So I told my husband this week how unhappy I am and have been for a while. He is a very closed person and it's hard to communicate with him.

He has a lot of narcissist traits, and I find it hard especially if I have a different opinion to him.

Sometimes he is in a great mood, and other times he is very moody, I just never know.

He likes other people to think very highly of him, and is this big personality, yet the reality is different.

He wants to give it a try and try Counselling, so I said I would give it a try, as at least then I know I have tried everything.

Can anyone share what to expect, and if you are happy to, what the outcome was?

Thank you for any advice Flowers

My advice is to be careful - sometimes I think counselling focuses on legitimising your reasons to split rather than finding reasons to stay together. Be very clear with your counsellor about what you are trying to achieve.
A good counsellor will facilitate the communication that allows you to find solutions.
