So Mrs and I are in therapy together but it's just the crap I brought into the marriage and not hers. I am committed to the marriage but she seems really ambivelant. Just seems so one sided.
We each brought our own deamons with us but it seems mine are getting the airing.

Maybe you all are taking turns. It's kind of good because you get to look at and fix your crap if you want whereas her seeming ambivalence won't help her in the end?

A good therapist directs couples therapy so that it doesn't turn into a bash-fest. It takes two and as Dr Phil likes to say, "No matter how thin you make it, there's always two sides to a pancake." Each of you are contributing both to the positive aspects of the relationship as well as contaminating it.

It may not be so much an issue with you each airing out your issues in so much as your therapist is not well equipped for couples counseling and you should consider a different counselor.
