We’ve tried couples therapy several times thru our marriage, this last time, we went 5 times. I told him I wanted to separate & he said no.
During that short amount of therapy I’ve noticed that he focuses on the past. It’s very hard for him not to. His anger & mistrust are in the past. He’s shown me thru the yrs that even when this is pointed out to him....he won’t try to change. Change is difficult for most, but him....I’ve never seen change.
He stated in therapy that he doesn’t trust me anymore bec I had an suicide attempt in 2014 & he just can’t seem to forgive me for that or trust me again.
He’s also said that he doesn’t fully trust me with our kids.
Two extremely damaging statements yet when I voice them, he says I think too much or didn’t hear him correctly or he never said that. So when Allison Armstrong talks about “worth” as a male, what he puts in, is he getting the same out; I’m guessing he does not see it the same anymore.
He knows he has problems with anger & has no idea how to process it. I also have anger issues too. I’ve been trying again, even going back to therapy. He doesn’t wanto go; he’s busy!
He likes the status quo.
