SD -“Any therapist worth their salt will tell you that not everyone is a candidate for therapy. In a situation where both partners have an interest in working to make a better marriage, I doubt that many people would say that they should get divorced. However, in a situation where one party is too self centered to acknowledge that they have a problem and carries on with attitude and behavior that speaks of lack of concern for anyone else (even those whom they profess to love), that person is not a candidate for therapy (and would likely never agree to go).”
What you post makes sense. If the therapist says give up -fine.
But this isn’t true in a lot of cases. I was willing to go for more therapy and so was my ex, but her “friends” convinced her not to try anymore and that she is better off getting divorced.
After the divorce even her “friends” see how wrong they were!
