Communication difficulty or having difficulty find common ground on some topics could be improved. Abusive marriage is abusive marriage and it won’t stop being that. They don’t want to waste yours and their time doing therapy with people in abusive marriages. In this case individual therapy is recommended

So I am not saying you should lie but I doubt any therapist would do couple therapy if there’s abuse
We shall see. I feel that being honest is best since we need to discuss his abusive traits and past abuse. I will see. I called a couple more therapists and left messages.
