My marriage is not healthy and the longer I'm in therapy, the more things I discover that I would like to be different about myself and my life. As I've changed, my partner has not and in many cases has dug his heels in and refused to look at our marriage at all. It's complicated things quite a bit. Because of the changes I've made, my husband really doesn't like my therapist and sometimes calls him names and makes snide comments about petty things. At the same time, I think my therapist thinks that I'm in an unhealthy marriage and would like to see things change for me at home, although he would never say so directly.

Have any of you ever been in a situation where your partner or your family didn't like your therapist? Or didn't approve of the changes you were making in therapy? What did you do? What about if your therapist thought your family was unhealthy, but you couldn't leave? How did you deal with that? Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
