Today, my husband and I went to marriage counselling. I confessed something that was bothering me, but he didn't understand. Our counselor repeated word-for-word what I said right back at him. He turned to me angrily and shouted, "Why couldn't you just say that the first time?!" FML

Good to see communication in your relationship is a ten out of ten

I think we might be starting to zero in on your problem.

Your profile pic just stole what I was going to reply to you with.

I'm so sorry OP.. I hope things end up working out for you. divorces are hard for everyone and I never would wish that on anyone. (never been through one myself just seen a lot of it happens to friends parents etc) good luck!

Well..hopefully the counseling helps!

Communication is the key. If you don't have it this marriage will fail.

Is he a bit deaf? Please tell he is or i'm giving up on society ._.

But hearing it coming out of his mouth requires him to speak, doesn't it?

I'm sorry, then I suppose my 10 years of marriage have all been a sham? Because in my marriage (and every other successful marriage I've ever heard of), communication IS the key. Maybe your marriage works like you say, but if that's the case then I feel sorry for you. Your view of women is incredibly immature.

Well, my parents have lasted 23 years, and communication has been a major factor in that. Of course, they do love each other, but without communication, I'm not sure how good their relationship would be. And my mom would much rather hear what my dad really thinks than for him to feed her some bullshit he thinks she wants to hear. I know this because she has told me. Thanks for generalizing, though.

48 I feel sorry for U too. It's missing his friends Y and O..poor fella.

You must have an awful wife who only cares about herself. A good wife would actually care about what her husband feels. I feel sorry for you. She ruined your views on women.

I apologize that you must be in one of society's "typical" marriages, but in mine communication is definitely a must, I love hearing what my man is thinking and feeling pertaining to different subjects or events. Not all women are hypocritical bitches, there's a few jewels among us.

27, that's coming from someone who doesn't have a ******. A lot of woman actually care and want to rationalize what's going on. We like to hear opinions and thoughts of our partners. It's narrow minded people like you that keep that stereotype alive and well.

Or her husband has gotten used to tuning out everything she says.

Shouting at someone over nothing indicates a grim outlook, in my opinion. Anyway, is the OP's husband secretly going through and thumbing down all of the sympathetic comments or something?

That's really not all that uncommon. Just think of it as the price of being married that you have to pay a third-party to get through to your spouse. At least, this gives him a chance to address the issues, before you might consider the big D.

Three rules of a good mariage: communication, communication, communication

I didn't see sex anywhere in that list.
