Feels like a waste of time and money... and emotional investment if this is not the first time this occurs.
In our couples therapy sessions, he seems to try to explain to me my husband's perspective. It seems or comes across that I'm the one who misinterprets and who misunderstands, according to our therapist. He hasn't ever explained my perspective to my husband.

And quite unfortunately, I just don't have the energy or time to find another therapist at the moment. Plus, it's hard to 1) find one who takes our insurance and 2) who has availability right now and 3) one who can meet us after our work hours at 6 PM. I have found that all therapists have their plates full due to the pandemic. So, we may be stuck with him for now, or until I have the time to look around, and I will have to stick to my guns and put my foot down with both men. ARGH! It's very frustrating.
