Your Questions About Couples Counseling

Couples counseling — anybody ever do it?!?

Worth it?

My thing is – I just got back together with my ex girlfriend; and, honestly, I pretty much trust a stranger over her – she lies a lot, about small stupid stuff that doesn’t even matter because we weren’t together at the time. So, my whole argument is – if you lie about small simple stuff – you’d lie about big important stuff – that really matters..

I love her, and want to be with her – I suggested couples counseling and she said she’s fine with it – so, I guess we’re going to give it a try. You think there’s any hope in this? Or I should just smarten up and let it go now? (Since the trust is basically gone).

Does couples counseling work?

Here goes: 2 yrs ago I was unfaithful and cheated on my ex fiancé of 6 yrs with the neighbor. I lied and did un forgiving thing. I’m not sure why I did it and I ask my self everyday. I know my ex was unhappy bc of work but he was never mean to me or anything. I felt sometimes he didn’t enjoy me and our daughter and that’s around the same this happen. It was a HORRIBLE mistake that I made and it’s as if I was a different person in my body at the time. Now these past 2 years I haven’t been able to shake it off. I cry everyday over him and I cannotlive a normal life. I’m constantly reminded of him in everything I do. Including when we drop our kid off. I’ve tried talking to him and it’s like he doesn’t care bc I didn’t care at the time. I don’t Blame him. But I’m truly depressed and unhappy Without him. A few months ago he came over and we had sex. I found out I was pregnant again in October. Now. I know this was wrong and it makes me sick bc this just makes everything worse. If we go to couples counseling will it help??? The fighting Is unreal.

Is there inexpensive Couples Counseling?

Im 3 months pregnant, and my boyfriend and I have been together 5.
Im 24 and he’s 27.
We both have a lot of issues and stresses that have made our relationship difficult.
We fight all the time! About the stupidest stuff!!!
I love him, and I know he loves me…but im not happy right now, because we fight so much. Its bad for the baby for me to be stresses out so much.
I think that having counseling might help us. I honestly don’t think anything else will.
But isn’t that super expensive. I have insurance right now, but its through the state. I know they will cover for me to see a therapist. But will they cover couples??
And if not, is there anywhere that has cheap counseling??
I feel hopeless.
Please answer if you really do know something about it.

Im in Phoenix, Arizona btw.
Thankyou

Is it worth going to couples counseling if he’s dating others?

I have been with my now ex boyfriend for years. We’ve known each other since childhood & we’re now both in our 30′s.

The last year, we’ve had a number of issues, all of which could likely be resolved through couples counseling. We’ve been broken up for 4 months, but we’ve stayed in touch & do see each other on occasion. He mentioned yesterday wanting to try counseling, but at the same time he’s dating other people & he will not stop until he sees where things go with us. I am not dating or talking to anyone at this time. Is it worth going through counseling if he’s dating other people? Will a therapist even want to take us on as clients if he’s doing this?
