What do I owe him?
| Mon, 01-14-2008 - 11:06am |
Married 2.5 yrs, separated 1 year. We've seen 3 counselors during our relationship. I told him I want a divorce and he asked to see another counselor. I feel they haven't helped and that our marriage is "irretrievably broken." Do I owe it to him to go to one final therapy session?

If you've already been to THREE counselors.... in less years... I think not.

Thinking,
Hi. Your STBX is engaged in denial. First, by asking for "one more chance" he's delaying the next step. Second, he's hoping if you'll go to just "one more counselor/counseling session" you'll change your mind and everything will be all better.
You've been married very briefly and seem to have spent almost 50% of it apart. I don't know what issue you're dealing with but truly if you've tried counseling and the only reason you're going is because he just won't give up on the marriage, it's kind of like beating a dead horse.
I say draw your line in the sand and get on with the next step. If that's filing papers, file them.
Good luck,
