First of all, I have never been to therapy. I have no idea what to expect, the first time, subsequent sessions, etc. But I really think it might be time for me to find someone to talk to.

​

Not to get into too much detail here. My wife and I have some very explosive arguments. Usually when she it upset with what she perceives her family has done. I try to be supportive, but I know that will only reinforce her rift with her family and will do nothing to make her feel less threatened or put out by them.

Normally, for me, when I get upset, it is short lived and within minutes or hours, it is over an done with. But this is something that keeps building.

​

My worry is that if I find a therapist, when I go to the session, I won't remember what set me off, have a hard time communicating it to a third party, or even if there is anything that can be done. She doesn't want to put in the effort to deal with it, and I don't want to be the only one working on the marriage.

​

I'm sure there is a lot more that I need to explain/say. But like I said, I have a hard time relating things to a third party. And especially to an anonymous forum like this. But I need to start taking first steps.
