I agree with AS. My wife also wanted to 'check off' MC so she could say she tried. Our counselor actually told her (in a single solo session) that she's seen people older than my wife who were now sorry they didn't make a marriage change back when they were her age! You better believe wife jumped on that!

Drop MC and do coaching instead. This is for you, wife gets to decide what if anything she wants to do, you leave it up to her.

As for the short, curt responses, accept that this is where she is emotionally at the moment. Don't take it personally, just give her the space she is craving right now. Things can change, but it will take time. Only show happiness and contentment. Post often.


M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.
