Hi there,

So, H and I had our 5th counseling session today. The other night I had posted the back story of what I feel got us to this point. H and I had a great year and a half, but things slowly started going downhill about 6 months ago. H, who only drinks on his weekend, was going out 3 to 4 nights a week, until all hours of the night, then driving home. In the back of my mind, I knew this behavior wasn't ok, but he would justify it by saying that's the way he's always been...I would tell him I wasn't ok with it, but I would stay, so the behavior would continue. About 3 weeks ago, He went out on a Friday night, and told me we would hang out the following day, and he would be home around 9 or 10, same time he would if he had to work the next day. ..well, he got home at 2:00 am again...I checked his phone the next morning (something I never do) and there was an extremely inappropriate text that he sent to his friend the night before. I had enough, I left for Washington for a few days to spend with family...he told me he always thought I would be there..so, why wouldn't he keep acting like this, right??. We had completed 2 sessions prior to me leaving. Since I've been back we've been to 3 more. Before, H wouldn't participate, I would talk, he would just sit there and say a word or two now and then. Today's session went really good, there were laughs, and talk about the future, and how we can keep thing positive. I never, ever thought I would be in marriage counseling, let alone 2 years into our marriage, but I'm trying to take this one step/day at a time and be positive. Thanks to you all for being so supportive. I know everyone has their problems in their marriage, so I apologize for putting mine on blast. You ladies are great!

    There is no need for you to apologize. We are all here to help each other out when it's needed the most, whether it's with laughs or internet hugs. I'm happy for you that you two are able to laugh again and discuss the future. I wish nothing but the best for the two of you and just know that we will always be here when you need to vent. Big *Hugs* to you!

  • I'm glad he finally got to see it and now ya'll seem to be moving past some things. I think it was a good thing you left for a few days so that he could see it truly bothered you and it wasn't just something you were saying. Now he can participate and actually help the two of you move on to better things. At least now you can focus on the future. Don't apologize to us we are here to help.
  • To echo Spalko, no need to apologize. Like you said we all have had and will have problems in our relationships. As long as we all stick around here we'll be virtual ears to listen, shoulders to cry on and arms to hug. 

    I'm glad that you guys are working this out and wish you the best!!

  • Like the other girls said, no need to apologize!! We've all gone through stuff in our relationships and I think it's awesome that you are strong enough to admit it and take steps to correct it. Obviously no one wants to go to counseling but sometimes it really is the best thing. I went to counseling a few years ago and was so embarrassed about it at first but it turned out to really be the best thing that I could have done. Sometimes you just need an objective third party to help you work out issues. Good luck to you and your hubby!!

  • I agree with all of the above. We all need someone to vent to and sometimes you  really need it with someone who understands and it is pretty much anonymous.
