My partner and I have been together for 7 years, but our intimacy and emotional connection has been nearly nonexistent for quite some time now due to, at least I believe, for the most part, me.

A week and a half ago something big came to light. My partner was having an emotional affair. It’s complicated because of the stuff we’ve done wrong on both sides, but we still love each other and i believe in second chances.

He set up a therapy appointment and we went to our first one today. It seems like it’ll be a good experience and I hope it helps us move forward and discover that love and passion again.

Anyway, has anyone else ever done couple’s counseling? Did it help? Were you both committed to doing all the work it takes? Any other thoughts or comments?

I don’t know anyone personally who has ever tried it.
