@therapyoptional: Couples therapy assumes both people can be honest enough to be vulnerable. If one partner is secretly cheating, that assumption is wrong, and the therapy room either becomes an interrogation room or beats around the bush and wastes your time. If you have legitimate suspicions about infidelity, find another way to figure out what the reality is before considering couples therapy. My two cents. #coupletherapy #cheater #cheatingboyfriend #cheatinggirlfriend #bluetherapy
My ex wanted to do couples therapy with his therapist while he was cheating on me for 4 years. I had no idea and he never disclosed to his therapist. He would have gaslight me in a therapist’s presence while living a double life that we did not know about.

I think it is so powerful how you are balancing honesty and accountability with warmth. Therapy requires vulnerability, but some people, even under the most ideal circumstances, can’t get there (yet). I think an honest take like this is needed more in couples’ counselling

I felt like this in marriage counselling. my ex-husband revealed a bunch of things he had done and much of it felt like she was placating his feelings so he would reveal things. but it also then meant I couldn't express mine for the same reason. it was an unevenness and it didn't help, just made me resent him more. he also found tools to manipulate. horrible stuff.

I think that for example a partner who really is insecure ex "why do you have female/male friends i am not enough? Is obvious you cheating on me" i think therapy could be helpful for them, not a professional tho.
