I think it is great you are going to marriage counseling, pink. I wish I had done that many years ago on my own (because my husband refused to go with me when I suggested it so I just dropped the idea). I think many people don't know you can go to marriage counseling on your own. When I later did it, it was so helpful to me! After a number of months of this, I was able to get my H to go to sessions with me. The response of your H, "Oh, OK," is not bad. He is not telling you not to go and doesn't sound hostile. He might be open to going at a later date. Just give him some space on this, go by yourself, and keep the avenues of communication open with him. You are very brave. Good luck!
