Couples counselling

[Kens2]

Iv been to counselling with my partner and everything he said in there feels like a.it just went through one ear and straight out the other. Telling me hes gonna change his ways to help me cope with my anxiety part of it is definitely cause of the ways hes been treating me. Calling me all types of unnecessary names and what not. I feel like to just up and leave him most days but I can't cause we have kids 🙄 it's so tiring and stressful im coming to point qhere i just cant deal with it anymore.

I understand where you are coming from. I’ve been going to counseling with my partner too and it does get frustrating when your partner says one thing and retreats to the same behaviors. People don’t typically change in terms of personality but they can certainly modify and adapt themselves for someone they love. I don’t know how long you’ve been in counseling for but the fact that you’re both going together shows you both want to make things work and are willing to listen to suggestions and advice on how to support each other. I know having kids makes it harder to leave your partner but just know that you also deserve to be validated and your happiness matters. I’m sure your kids would want you to be happy too, however that looks like. Stay strong.
