What are everyone’s opinions on whether or not couples should seek counseling while in recovery? I am a BS and would like to try things on our own, but don’t know if that is reasonable. I have seen a counselor and my H has come off and on, but now we have moved and I’m not sure I want to start over with a new one. Besides we are financially strapped because I gave up my career so we could move away from the OW. My H is very uncomfortable with counseling and it is close to being a LB for him.<P>Opinions please . . .<BR>

I'm not sure how long it's been since your d-day... but if you both feel comfortable in laying low... snuggle in, hold eachother, (heck, go take a nice long bath together) and go for it. If you feel as if you need help, then go for help. You are in a new territory, maybe that will help. If not, if either one of you need to talk through a third person, do it! Sometimes it can work wonders, especially now that you are out of the radar range of the OP. (I hope).And if you are not comfortable with a councelor, please keep coming here to vent, cause we really do want to help.<P>(wishing I could move to a world far away from his OP)<P>Deb<P>
