Like there is never comments that even attempts to be like: “Okay here’s what you can do to try to mend the relationship…”
I feel like there’s a conspiracy that the internet is trying to break up as many relationships (and by “relationship” I don’t just mean romance) as possible so people are more isolated and therefore those who rule the world can more easily solidify their control…
There has been a lot of great responses in this thread that are spot on …BUT…
I was a social worker for a long time and you would be amazed how many therapist I worked with who pretty much refused to do couple’s counseling. The reasoning, typically the couple either collectively or individually are just looking for a “Permission” to end it.
My hunch is they were using that as an excuse when the reality was they were terrified of doing couple’s therapy because it’s really hard
All therapy is hard.
You’re correct, but I meant from the therapist’s perspective. Couples therapy is real easy to go sideways
Sounds like an easy job in that case, no?
Granted, when I was in bad relationships before, I posted about it online when I wanted permission to end it, too.
