Now one thing that he did say that gave me a bit of hope, was that sometimes the people who claim to be the most committed often are the ones who work the least on the marriage, and sometimes the ones who say they don't want to work on the marriage turn out to be the ones who work the hardest.

Counseling is hard, any kind, hope for the best but know that things are going to be difficult even if in the end things work out fine it will be a rough road.
Thank you all you've given me some hope. This is so hard. Everytime i visit the counselor , I walk away feeling pissed off by the things he says but this therapist calls me out on it. I have another meeting tommorrow and I'm feeling anxious. Will update you on how it goes.
