lastking Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Broke up with my ex-girlfriend 7 months ago of what I think was the Grass is Greener syndrome. We had been together for 8 years. Anyways long story short, she contacted me recently for us to go to therapy. We have been to the therapist 3 times and looks like the therapist always sides with her instead of being a middleman/mediator. She wants us to keep going which am agreeing to although I think its a big waste of money. What are your opinions about couples therapy?...Thanks!!
Simon Phoenix Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Couples therapy after a relationship is over is pretty pointless IMO. That's something you do in the relationship, not after. Why the hell would you agree to this? 1
strive Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 If you think your therapist keeps siding with her it could mean that they're either not very good or there's something wrong with you that you're not acknowledging. But Simon is right. Why are you trying to resuscitate a long dead RS?

She must be seeing some other guy. 8.5 years of being together went down the drain.

Honestly though, you were the one who flushed 8 of those "down the drain" when you dumped her. She just obviously decided the residual few months weren't worth it.

Knowing this, and coupled with the fact that a therapist sided with her in every single one of your encounters.....maybe you should look inward for the resolution of this relationship....and not blame your ex.
