It's a long story and I won't bore you with the ins and outs of it but I'm finding my relationship with my DP increasingly rocky. It's been a tough year. We've got financial worries, housing worries, work worries, an 8mo baby, and I feel totally unsupported and like I'd be better off without him. The physical side of our relationship is non-existent and, even though I find him good looking, I'm not sure how much I actually fancy him anymore. I think I might have lost respect for him
Anyway, the long and the short of it is that I would have walked away from this relationship ages ago if it weren't for the fact that we've got a baby together. For the sake of our DD I feel I have to try to make it work. I've tried talking to him lots of times but it never seems to get us anywhere and I always end up either angry or in tears.
I'm thinking about going to Relate or something like that but I don't know whether it's the right thing to do or whether relationship counselling actually works for anyone. Do any MNers have experience of counselling sorting out a rubbish relationship? Please give me some hope!
