Default Re: Advice on marriage counselling?

I've had a counselor and my husband had one-but never together. Without going into the details my counselor did something i specifically asked her not to do. it was an unfortunate misunderstanding and i really liked her otherwise but i had to quit going. His counselor actually told him to hide his infidelity from me, which created an even bigger problem.

Aside from the misunderstanding with my counselor i took away some very useful things. Counselors are human too and do make mistakes. The important thing is to remember what your standards are so that you dont allow a counselor to guide you down a path that could be very harmful to your relationship. If a counselor ever suggested i lie to my husband i would have told him to schedule himself a personal morality session and gotten a different counselor. Unfortunately my husband went against his common sense and listened to the guy.
