Imagine going to couples therapy with your spouse for months, but you don’t notice any changes in your spouse’s behavior.

In fact, it doesn’t even seem like they’re trying.

Would you keep trying, or would you be fed up?

In this story, one man finds himself in this situation, and he’s not sure if he handled it correctly or not.

Let’s read all the details.

AITA for walking out of couples therapy

After 5 months of weekly couples therapy, I (39M) haven’t noticed any changes in my wife’s (39F) behavior.

She called an emergency session this morning and we essentially resolved it with me agreeing to do what I always do in this particular situation concerning in-laws.

Then I asked, since you have asked me to do or change so many things in therapy, what have you done to improve our relationship?

It was a question that wouldn’t go anywhere anytime soon.

She responded by saying she has been in survival mode and started crying.

Then I stated what I have observed her doing different (which was like 3 days of the last 5 months in total).

She made some excuses and I said so you’ve done nothing.

Then the therapist took over and asked her what she is working on, even if I don’t see it.

Then she said, “I don’t want to . . .” and I snapped.

I didn’t even catch the full sentence.

And that was the end for him.

Rather than say anything, I go up l, said thanks for the session goodbye y’all and walked out.

AITA for walking out of couples therapy after hearing my wife say she doesnt want to do anything to make our relationship better after 5 months of therapy?

Is he wrong for being frustrated with couples therapy, or should he give it more time?

Let’s see what the comments say on Reddit.

Here’s a blunt and honest comment.

This was a common theme.

Some said it sounded like therapist shopping…

Others said there was just no way for us to know what was going on, really.

If you’ve been trying this long, and it’s not working, then maybe it’s just not working.
