Does anyone have any experiences with therapists? I need some advice and I would like to know you guys' experiences, if it was good or bad. Or even if you know someone who has had therapy before for relationships. BTW this is not our only problem in this relationship so a couples therapist is necessary.
Last night/ this morning, I REALLY had an experience that makes this situation an entirely new animal.
She has been telling me for a while now that she doesn't want me to pull out, wear a condom ETC. She says that the only way that we can be intimate is if I don't pull out.
I am not agreeing to the not pulling out at ALL obviously. I bluntly told her that I am not going to do that and is she REALLY trying to get pregnant in the VERY near future? She vehemently says that its not about getting pregnant, and its about me being open to it.
anyhow fast forward to last night we had a disagreement, and I made it clear that I wasn't happy. Usually when I'm not happy she would try to put in some work to make me stop being mad.
So I told her to get off of me bcuz I felt myself about to ___. So she did. She stayed to the other side of the bed, quiet. But I knew she was crying because you can hear the sniffling.
I think it got to her that I ACTUALLY told her to get off. 99 times out of 100, that strategy works, and we're fine after wards.
But me being so adamant about not "letting off" (for a lack of better words right now), probably was a reality check that she definitely might not get what she so desperately wants.
Im in total awe because she DOES NOT cry or break when someone doesn't give her what she wants. So this totally shocked me.
So again, does anyone have previous experience with therapist? Price?
