The major time I brought my husband in was because T and I were working on my abuse history. I got to the point where I needed to tell my husband. I trusted him almost completely but the are periods where my fear of abandonment take over. Plus there were details that would be infuriated him about the abuser. Hubby is in NO way an aggressive or violent person normally. So T was there if needed to support me since it would be traumatic for me and she would be there to answer questions and make sure he was safe. He was about to find out somebody who he loved and trusted severely harmed his wife. So yes to a degree it was a trust issue but definitely not something we need a marriage counselor for. We have a very solid marriage.
