Well we had tried couples counseling and it helped. However, we aren't married. And he doesn't have mental health insurance. I get free counseling through the school.....but couples is only covered for spouses. When we were both students it worked out well. And I feel like an appt every couple months to re-ground us is all we really need. It's like we'll go in....talk everything out....realize we were both being jerks and everything's fine for a few months. Then the cycle starts over, and we need the little reminder "you guys are being stupid" and it's fine.
Both of us are extremely stubborn which has proved to be difficult but him being stubborn has helped me see where my issues are. I know I can be difficult sometimes and that's why I want to be patient. Just sometimes I feel like I gotta let all this crap out. Remind myself of why I loved him in the first place. Kinda sit back and let all the little things go.
Thanks for letting me vent!
