Changing marriage therapists

Couples counseling doesn’t work. When the feelings are gone, they are gone. You can never get them back . Trust me on that … it’s sad but true

Sometimes it’s just time to throw in the towel and separate.

OP fell for the "marriage therapy" con. They are empathetic sounding salespeople who take your money and don't do jack shit but leave you feeling extremely vulnerable and embarrassed that you confided the intimate details of your personal life with this stranger. If you can't talk to your wife without another person in the room, that's probably a bad sign.

The good news is you can start planning your exit now while she's fully invested in the therapy and then when it's "convenient" for you to walk, you stun the shit out of her and serve papers on dat ass.

The truth: you are wasting time and money. Months of nonsense. Zero progress.

This is not your fault. It’s not your spouse’s fault. It’s not the therapist’s fault. Marriage “counseling“ or “therapy“ nearly always fails. And the exceedingly rare success case is an opioid addict or alcoholic overcoming the addiction with detox, drug substitutes, and therapy.

The marriage has run its course. Once she is checked out, it’s over. Totally over. Your time and money are much better spent on divorce counsel.

My guess is the stuff you view as bad advice is viewed as good advice to your wife.

Hopefully you can work things out. I personally don’t believe in couples therapy but that’s based on my own shitty experience.

Waste of time and money … the majority bring their own predispositions into their analysis abd they lean toward woman . Think of who is going to go to school to be a therapist.

Other advice here is spot on . The only positive would be that it gives you time to get things in order Good luck
