Are some of these statements true for you?
“We’ve been together for three years now, and lately it seems we’re fighting about everything. I love my partner, but can’t take the constant conflict. The fun has gone out of our relationship and we don’t know what to do to get it back.”
“We’ve been together for over 14 years and lately it seems we just co-exist. We don’t really argue that much, but we’re more like roommates. Our sex-life is practically non-existent. Is this all there is?”
“I just found out my partner has been unfaithful. I’m hurt and angry and I don’t see how I can get past this betrayal. Both of us want to stay together, but I don’t know how to trust them and I’m scared that it could happen again.”
“We’ve been to couples therapy before but it wasn’t very helpful. The therapist was very nice, but didn’t say much. We want some feedback and some tools to work with. We’re willing to work on this, but need some real guidance!”
“This is a fairly new relationship and we think this may be a ‘keeper’. However, lately a few issues have come up, that we disagree about. We want to explore them before they become real problems.”
“We have each been married before and have children from a previous relationship. We argue about parenting issues constantly. Except for this, we get along really well. Help!
“We just had a new baby this year and since then we’ve been
arguing a lot. Shouldn’t this be the happiest of times?”
“My partner has a real problem with anger. He seems to ‘blow up’ over practically anything. When he’s angry he says hurtful things to me that I just can’t let go of. Later, he often apologizes, but then it happens again. I don’t know what to do to get him to stop treating me in such a disrespectful way.”
