Still Struggling and need help #4

[CharlieBrown]

I understand completely what you are saying. This historically was an issue with us and continues to be now. Part of it is because my W has a very stubborn streak and the concept of saying "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong" is completely alien to her These are both traits of her otherwise wonderful dad and I see how strongly she takes after her dad in this (and the terrible toll these traits have taken on MIL).

She has professed that she is committed to counseling and to rebuilding our M. That alone is very positive. But, her actions still show Replay to some extent and I think that is what MC is trying to show her, in his own way. Whether it is successful or not I don't know, but we have another 10 sessions already scheduled this summer at his request, and I would be surprised if we don't go beyond this. It wasn't broken in a couple months, it isn't going to be fixed in a couple months.
