I want to take issue with the idea that this is natural. Common? Sure. Understandable? Perhaps. But natural? I'm not convinced. This is a very childish, selfish perspective. I realise I am lucky because my husband thinks therapy is a good thing if it helps me. I asked if he wanted to come and talk to my T once about how to cope with my down days and he said he didn't want to interrupt my relationship with my T. That is what the attitude should naturally be, not this childish jealousy.

I know two couples who have done therapy and stayed together.
