MC last night was mostly about him talking. He talked over the top of us most of the session. It was like getting his standard spell on how he does couples counseling. He had this set of handouts of couple skill building, about communication and listening, about verbal abuse... it was fairly frustrating for me and a little for my wife. We are not quite at that place with things. He was late getting us started but stopped us right on time and that was annoying too.

As for my wife and I, we went in to session in a good laughing mood and laughed and joked most the way through the session. I think that was good for him to see because that is a big part of what has worked and been the good in our relationship. It wasn't until the last 5ish minutes that we got to talking about something of importance/value.

We left counseling and went out to dinner. My wife did something at dinner that pissed me off. I tried to get past it because it ended up working out fine in the end. However, I the drive home, I brought up the thing from counseling and it turned very negative, very fast. I think I did it to pick a fight. We didn't fight - just went negative. We talked for a few hours and got no where; circles. We have competing wants and can't find a win-win solution.
