Had our first counseling session together today. It's was an intake session so not too deep. Mostly him doing the blame game. I tried to clarify a few things but he did most the talking and I didn't want to argue so I held my tongue a lot. The therapist said we'd come back and visit these topics in more depth in the next few sessions where I will tell my side for sure. We had a few tense moments but the therapist seemed optimistic. My husband told her, when she asked what he hoped for out of therapy, was for him to fall back in love with me. I know therapy is not a cure, but it was nice to know he hoped for something like that instead of just giving up on me and our relationship. He seems happy today and committed to going to therapy. Only time will tell. We also went and looked at bikes for him today so he can bicycle with me since he can't kept up on his skateboard. I think it will be safer as well. So... Optimistic for now.
