Oh, I agree with that, Puppy. My husband and I went to marriage counseling for about 6 months when I found out about an online affair. And that therapist told my husband that we couldn't work on the marriage unless he dropped contact with the other woman. But my husband had stated his intention to work on the marriage directly to the therapist in our first session. So the therapist was speaking in light of that goal. (This was 3 years before my husband finally decided to leave.)

I'm merely pointing out that most therapists do not start off telling someone that they're wrong or being idiotic. \:\)

I think individual counseling, regardless, helps so much.
