We had our appointment today. I don't have much time to report, but it went fairly well. I really put it clearly to W that I feel it is impossible for me to be the perfect husband, and that every time I slip a bit, I feel it takes that much more time to try to attain the peak. C let W know that W's way is not the only way, and that, while it's okay to have a preference, she should not expect me to make the bed the same way she does, clean the kitchen the same way she does, etc...
Next week, it's my turn to visit the counselor by myself. I'm looking forward to it already.
Interesting enneagram moment. C asked us if we'd read about our types in the enneagram books. W said she had, and that it didn't really hold any surprises...didn't feel good or bad about it. I said I had, and that I couldn't believe how pitiful 6s were...that I had ended up being the worst of the nine types. The C laughed and said, that I "got it", and that every type who "gets it" has a similar reaction. Then W admitted that she hadn't had a lot of time to focus on the book (upcoming trial tomorrow), and the C recommended that she closely read the type 1 material.
