Hi, I was just reading a few posts back. I experience the same thing with friends and family members that encourage me to leave the marriage and find someone new. I try to keep everything away from them now, as I feel they are biased without knowing everything. My therapist is surprisingly the same way. She thinks my H's behavior is unacceptable and I shouldn't continue. Honestly, I've been going to this therapist for about a year now and feel that she doesn't always guide me towards the direction I would like to go. I may look into a new therapist that will be more progressive in my goals. I think it's hard to explain the behavior of spouse to others, and I try to steer the conversation into what I"m doing positive with my life instead of dwelling on spouse. Most friends/family, or at least in my case, will go along with the new topic of conversation. Has this worked for you?
