Well, to add a little something to that, my W has mentioned that she thinks I'm being fake and/or two faced - telling her one thing and thinking or telling other people another. Well, what do you expect? It's not helpful to try and tell the truth about what I see to someone who's trying to avoid it at all costs!
It's good to have a place like this forum to release our feelings and thoughts without worrying about being judged or damaging our sitches. My W used to be the one person I told everything to, and she told me everything. I miss it, but at the same time, I think this is a challenge that I need in my life - to find inner strength and confidence about my self without the validation from my W.
Hope you counselling session went well!
