The Retro people called a little while ago, wanted to speak to us both to complete the registration. W refused to do so, saying that she's not going to go if they require her to get on the phone. Finally she did, listened for a little while, but cut the woman off and handed the phone back to me.
Well, she did register us, even though she didn't finish the deal.
W is really touchy and raw... she is unconvinced this is going to do any good - saying the phone call was a control thing, these people aren't real therapists, the religion aspect really bothres her, she doesn't want to be talking to anyone about our R, she'd rather we use the time to just "go have fun."
I explained that from my understanding, it's just a matter of us talking to each other. We're not receiving counciling.
She still says she'll go because I'm asking her to. Is afraid of giving me false hope. I told her, let me worry about my own stuff. She said that she is where she is on this, and that this doesn't seem appropriate because she's not in the space of "working on it."
Said that we're not the typical couple, we don't hate each other - everyone that's privy to our situation says we're not typical.
Said the woman was patronizing and she found it offensive, getting her on the phone was simply a control thing. The sort of thing she hates about therapists and religion.
Well, she packed up and went to bed.
She is so raw right now.
I'm just really scared now. I do have a lot of hopes pinned on this, although I won't admit it to her. I really hope she doesn't back out here before Friday.
