Go to the DR chapter covering MC. It talked in-depth about finding a solution-based MC. Very important to find someone who is pro-marriage, IMO.
Our MC was having back problems and was quick to tell us to throw in the towel. Amazing! Read the DR chapter, please!
I agree with you and Brigestone; that there indeed can be a happy new life in your marriage. I learned that I smothered my W and would welcome "giving" her more freedom to be herself. But there will be selfish "friends" who may resent your decision to return to your (new) marriage. Follow your heart and beware of "friends" who would NEVER stand up for you like your H seems to be doing. Years from now, they will be gone, but family is forever.
People can change for the better and I know of couples, who split up, only to come together and are happier than ever. Good luck!
