I am also thinking that for counseling to work, we both have to want it to work. When we tried a year ago I don't think my husband really wanted it to work. He says differently though.
I'll bet he did want it to work a year ago...but maybe not enough, or maybe failure was an option, like 'let's try and see'...then after getting a chance to see what D really looks like, it's like 'hmm, this would suck, maybe I can try a bit harder and MAKE it work!'
Mindreading, but I know that's how it went down for me. I tried in my marriage, and I thought I tried my hardest, but I didn't know what hard really was until D.
