We went together for the first session last Tuesday. Needless to say I completely fell apart and cried most of the time. The counselor decided that we needed to have separate sessions and has set him up with someone else. He is dealing with some depression issues that he hasn't owned up to yet. I am hopeful that he goes to counseling to get himself some help. He left because he said he needed "independence" and to be "on his own." I think that he is lost. We both quit our jobs and sold our house in June of '08 so that he could pursue his Ph.D at Michigan State. Now he wants out of the marriage and his school work is suffering. He spends most of his time play World of Warcraft because he said he can get lost in it.
Sorry probably more than you wanted but kind of painted the picture. Also helps me to type it so that I get mad and don't feel like calling him anymore
I am hopeful for myself for counseling because I need to find me again and figure out where I am in all of this. I will keep you updated on how the counseling is going.
