Husband has agreed to come with me. Next appt. is Aug. 7th-- therapist is on vacation for two weeks. She is very nice.

I'm glad that he agreed, but I'm also nervous for 23,234,422,353,842 different reasons.

Our relationship is not in a good place right now.

does it feel like a positive step that he is now willing to go with you?

what made him change his mind?

Just a lot of education on my part-- I refused to give up, and continued to educate him on what therapy is about, and what the benefits could be. I discussed this with him until I could hit upon something that would allow him to "get it."

I really hope you are able to work things out. Seems you are both interested in trying to making it work. That's a good start.

Remember your early days together...the attraction, the fun? ...sometimes we forget the joy we once had because we get so caught up in the day to day, and life's difficulties. I hope you find a way to rediscover each other.

hugs, s

I'm glad he has agreed to go, pinksoil. I understand you feel on pins and needles about it, but I hope it will be a positive step for your relationship.

That is wonderful news, pinksoil. Good for you to not give up. I think it should tell your H a lot that you "refused to give up."
