In fact, sometimes you find yourself just wishing they would realize how unhappy you are and step up already! Sadly, this doesn’t happen and in time you become resentful. This leads to arguments, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings.
You’ve tried to work it out. Even suggested couples therapy. What else is there?
Maybe, you’ve asked your partner to try couples therapy or marriage counseling. But, they do not have any interest in going and you’re left feeling hurt and upset. You don’t know what to do now. Can you save your relationship if they aren’t willing to work on it? Will the fights ever stop?
Perhaps, you’ve already separated or divorced your partner or spouse. Now, you want to work on yourself. You want to unpack all the emotional baggage of your separation and find a clear path forward in your life. After all, when you do decide to date again, you don’t want to make the same mistakes.
