Is it acceptable to not even try?

Our couples counsellor is putting a lot of pressure on me, to try again at our marriage - mostly because we have DCs, but also because he thinks DH deserves the opportunity to mend his ways.

I don't want to. I feel too ground down by DH's EA behaviour over the past 10 years. I can't forget, even if I forgive. I don't love him, or trust him, or frankly even like him very much at the moment.

I've told our counsellor this, several times. He doesn't accept my viewpoint. He says DH doesn't understand what he's done wrong and will be a different man when he does understand.

Am I wrong to simply say that enough is enough? The phrase that keeps running through my head is "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me".

KOKO Flowers it's perfectly normal to have those feelings about ending a relationship even though it's been an abusive one. You are seeing through the FOG and it's painful.

Thinking of you, OverNow. Get yourself some decent chocolate.

Of course he wants you to keep trying to prevent your husband trying to get his money back for any unused sessions!
