Terl24 At what point should a couple seek therapy? And what if the other one sees no value in it? My SO thinks that the very notion of seeking help suggests that help is needed. 10 years ago * 3 replies User reported

- howamihere If you're thinking you need therapy and your (SO)significant other isn't sure, I would still at least encourage them to give it a try. See if you both relate well to the therapist and can be open and honest. Sometimes it takes getting your partner to just walk through the door to get started. If after a few sessions, they aren't putting in the same effort and work that you are, you can reevaluate. Personally, I think a good therapist is a great asset and everyone can benefit- doesn't have to be based on a "need" per se, just a desire to have clarity and positive insight in your relationship going forward 10 years ago User reported
- Funnybout I think getting your relationship shrunk periodically should be viewed like getting your teeth cleaned. You can live without it, but chances are you're letting some nasty gunk build up below the gum line that's going to cause major issues later. Break out the mental floss!! If your SO won't go, then go alone. You might learn something about why you are putting up with someone who is so resistant to communication. 10 years ago User reported
