I deleted the recording. I've moved on and have not brought it up since. I made my point either way.
New MC is a lot better but a lot of work. Teaching us to communicate in a way that we aren't blaming each other. We both suck at it! But, you can see how empathy prevents you from overreacting - hopefully we can both get a basic handle on this and use it in real life situations. W is still good with seeing the MC and seems to want to repair things but when asked by the MC the W says I don't know if it can be fixed or if we can have what we once had. MC said, what you had is in the past, you have a blank slate ahead of you to build a new and better relationship. Was a good answer - the MC is very positive and helps undo some of our negative thinking. I wonder sometimes if we can get to at least what we had before, ideally a much healthier relationship but my W seems so negative - it doesn't fill me with hope.
