I'm not a person who is going to go to a marriage counciller. If it can't be fixed between the 2 people involved then them 2 people don't want it fixed. I have been sober and smoke free for over 2 years. I think I've suffered enough to pay for any troubles I've caused. I've paid my debt and if my wife can't accept my new sobriety and the changes I have made in my life then 36 years is gone down the drain

Counseling provides a non-biased third party's view on the situation. Sometimes it's just what is needed to get a different perspective on things.

Hmmm. In one way I'm inclned to agree with you in the sense that most of the time when couples go to counseling, there is at least one party who does not want to be there, who does not want to make it work. But if both people DO want to make it work, it does help to have an objective party. And counseling in some cases can help a couple come to terms together with ending a relationship. Individual counseling worked wonderfully well for me. I initially tried it years ago, had a bad experience and also tend to be the 'suck it up; I can handle it' kind of person, but I wasn't handling it, I was stuffing it. Getting a good therapeutic relationship is a total crapshoot. I wish you the best.

I asked around to who people went to and I heard about this great person. She saved my life. I was so down and so sad.

You must check them out and see how they think. Talk to them on the phone for a bit. Try several. You will know in you gut if it's right.

Yep counseling is good. But you have to be humble enough to accept it.
