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
