Yes Nikki, you are in the fight. If you read much on these threads, you'll come across a recurring situation. In so many cases the conflicted S will not agree to M counseling. This is a good sign for you and it means your H does care about his relationship with you regardless of his "friend's" influence.
My WAW wouldn't agree on counseling. She simply said it's over and nothing will change that. Of course a year later her sentiments are not the same regarding counseling. It's my problem now, but that's a whole other story.
BTW, I thought it was kind of funny how you commented how ugly the couches were to your H before he told you that he helped picked them out. I would be the first to acknowledge that my taste is wicked when it comes to furniture, so it wouldn't hurt my feelings.
"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare." -Mark Twain
