I really don't have much experience at these things, being a newbie, but there is one thing for sure that I DO know
When you posted:
"if W says no to the workshop idea, I go to Imago counseling alone as soon as possible, and tell her I am doing so (she won’t like the idea – “only weaklings go to counselling”), but something must change in our M."
I have to say she is wrong, and possibly doesn't want to hear what she might be told (i.e. the truth?). It's not weaklings that go for counselling, it's those that have the intelligence to know that they are too emotionally involved in the situation and need a third party to sort some things out. It's shows strength and committment to admit you need help from a third party and perhaps she is not strong enough to admit that.
I wish you all the best - take care of yourself
