We are not in MC. We went to one sessions and my W hated it. The MC focused on my W and the A. She felt like she was being attacked. I mentioned how some people go see MWD in person and she commented that it was probably worth the money. She also said that she needs to see an IC.

As with anyone at this stage, there are ups and downs. One day is really good and we connect. The next day my W will feel a bit more distant. When that happens, I just give her her space and back off.

One recent challenge is that one of her good friends was recently divorced and the situation sounds pretty similar to our situation. Nothing wrong with the M, no fighting, two great parents. But the spouses just started to prioritize themselves individually and did not focus on the M. In the end, the W could not give the H what he wanted. Both seem very happy now. Perhaps this will get my W thinking in the other direction but I know there is nothing that I can do to change that.
