Hi Sellout,

My IC also recommended the same thing. I thought it was a very good idea and I waited a few months before I thought about bringing up the request to my wife. You are fortunate that she will think about. My wife threw it back in my face saying she had no interest in my counseling or how I am processing the breakup of the marriage. To me it is just more of a sign that my wife is moving further and further away from me. I was reluctant to bring it up in the first place for those months because I knew I was giving her an open net to just hurt me.

In your case, it seems a good sign that she will consider it. I'm interested to know how this goes and if it is helpful.


resolut, I am sorry to hear that it turned out that way for you. I am in no way out of the woods as she has agreed to nothing. Even it she does agree it could really only mean for the first part (help me become better man, father) and she could have no interest in what it could possibly do for our relationship. I figure that it was worth the risk of asking. I will let her think about it for a little while and then possibly move to a scheduling for her to go see him. I figure is she could get into the hands of a "professional" that could only increase the odds of us DBing.
