This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not at all. Couple's therapy is just a place for identifying and resolving the issues in a relationship and is useful for when a couple is struggling to do exactly that. Third party intervention can provide a different perspective for those stuck looking at an issue from a specific angle.

Absolutely. I haven't done it yet, but we've been on the edge of divorce several times. We're in an ok spot right now. If you've ever been arguing with a partner and find yourself thinking "This person is totally fucking detached from reality", then yeah the therapist would probably get your back. Just keep in mind they probably think the same about you sometimes. And they might be right.
