I do think that the W and the C hit it off really well on the first MC session I bet they did. But no, you are right, your W needs to have a good R with the C if you want progress.
I think my wife needs C as much as me Absolutely. Does she want it as much as you? Or are you sort of dragging her along?
I am sure your C LOVED YOU!!!! How could he/she not? Lol Yes, I'm sure he did, especially considering H baled on the last session and C told me I was basically doing the right things and put in all the effort I could. Enough was enough at the time.
