Yes, I found the time alone with the counselor helpful. I do not know how he used my viewpoint to affect his treatment plan for us as a couple. I do not know how much good it would do to tell your counselor that your wife’s co-worker called her crazy. Are you somehow worried that your counselor won’t see your wife’s serious problems? Does your wife minimize her own problems in the sessions? You could write him a letter or leave a voicemail, explaining your concerns and telling him that you want to advise him of some problems but not bring them up during one of your sessions with your wife present.I know that it is the counselors decision, but all I am really looking the same that you even told me that you had yourself. (Half a session for my and half a session for my wife). My goal is not to have the counselor side with me, but I do not wish to hurt my wife. One of the things that I wish to share is that her co-worker called my wife crazy and that we should get divorce. I feel it is important to share to share this because I am more on edge because of the other advice I was given. There are things that have happened in a marriage that we agreed not to ever talk about again (couple mistakes that my wife made). We got past them, but them bet to could\will influence how this will work in the future.
Did you find that half session(one on one) useful when you had it? That is all I really want. If we switch counselors again, that would be our third marriage counselor. I think I would just give up at that point This is really the only grievance I have with the current marriage counselor.
So let me get this straight. You are seeing one counselor yourself. Your wife is seeing a different counselor. And you are both seeing a 3rd counselor for marriage counseling? And the 4th one is the one your wife did not like, but you are not seeing that counselor currently, correct?
You are just about correct, but the 3rd and 4th are switched.
