through our addiction to Wheaties. I just picked up Frosted Flakes today, and we'll make the switch. It'll be hard, but I'm not paying some nimrod to counsel us.

Sounds like your wife is wanting you to spend more time with her and communicate more with her ...changing from wheaties to frosted flakes must be a big adjustment to you..now do the same when it comes to communicating with your wife...or the 'joke' will be on you...when your wife does leave.
If she's voicing her opinions to you...and you're saying 'hogwash'...then time to step up to the plate and work things out with her. Sounds like she's had enough and is wanting your marraige to work out....and doesn't find it 'funny'....so suggests counselling as you're not wanting to work this out with her. Dont be a fool...don't ignore your wifes suggestions...if you don't want to go to counselling then actually WORK it out with her then* GOODLUCK*

Well... there's a lot to be said in favor of counseling. If you find a good counselor you'll get someone who is an objective person who will watch you interact, and based on your interactions, can suggest ways for you to get along that you might never figure out yourself because you're not watching yourselves from outside.
If you want to make it work and want to do it without counseling, that's also completely possible... but it will probably require a willingness to compromise and an openness to change that from your message it seems like you might not be ready for yet.

I think you're playing with fire by underestimating the difficulty of kicking a Wheaties addiction! Most people think they can recover on their own, but the truth of the matter is that Wheaties recidivism rates are astonishingly high without professional assistance. Quite frankly, you would do well also to enroll in a 12-step program, W.A. I think your wife is right, but hey, proceed at your own risk.

i can almost guarentee that it will fail. you don't have an open mind and it seems that maybe your wife can't talk to you about some things that's going on. i only wished mine would have gone b/c after the divorce it was like well i didn't know this or that or you felt like that? so it maybe a wise decision if you were to go. Don't look at it as an expense- look at it as an investment. it's cheaper than a divorce which cost anywhere from 3k-5k or in my case 42k. have fun

Either get into counseling with her or don't be surprised when she splits with the leprechaun from LickMe Charms

Obviously she feels her emotional needs aren't met. Don't trivalize her suggestion because to her that's also trivalizing her feelings. If you're not there for her emotionally, one day, she won't be there for you and the other side of the bed will be cold and empty. Just like how she feels now.

maybe you can, but I would make an effort to support her, and go to maybe a few sessions. Good luck.
