Guys I just read all the posts and I thank everyone for the advice. I believe we will give it a go. The wife has always refused to go because our biggest problem is communication She likes to get mad for days And not discuss our problems. She refuses to talk. I wanna settle it. It doesnt work. I told her tue night that I wanted to separate. And I pretty much unloaded on her that I'm tired of the constant bitching. I told her the only way I will continue with our marriage is if we got a professional involved. I've found 3. Starting with one at a friends church after Christmas. I will be fun around the holiday table :/

Again, I applaud you. It takes a lot of strength to admit you need help.

Good job lex. It's worth fighting for. Feel free to vent here as necessary. We're not professionals, but we're willing to listen at least. And you'll get no shortage of opinions

Good luck. We went after about a year and a half of marriage and I was all against it thinking everything was fine. She was all bitchy too so signed herself to counseling. Then I joined her for a few sessions. Yep. Stormed out after one (last one I went to) and ended up drinking in a field afterwards shooting things most the night. But it takes determination, forgiveness, and love and you can work through anything.

It's hard but can be done.

As guys, we like to fix things, it's kind of what guys do. As hard as it is to admit, there are some things we can't fix. Not by ourselves, anyway.
I think a lot of times when we say "We need to sit down and talk about(or solve) our problems" it is our way to try and "fix" things. The problem is that we are more than likely clueless as to what the issues really are.

Asking questions like "What can I do for you?" or "What do you need from me?" will usually lead to better results. My two cents worth.

My wife and I have been in counseling for a while now. The main thing is to find someone you both are comfortable with. Not a real easy task but at this point you may be better off finding someone your wife is comfortable with. Strange as it seems, my wife and I are seeing different counselors. That works for us, you just need to find what works for you and your wife.

Congratulations on taking the first step, it's not always easy or pleasant but worth it in the long run.

Along with the counseling I might recommend a book.

Love and Respect

It comes from a Christian perspective, and that may not be everyone's thing, but the principles are still sound and if applied have great results.

Never went. But I bought my wife a book on anger she hit me with it.
