or Marriage Guidance Counselling as it used to be known. Has anybody been through this with "Relate" or any other organisation? Any comments?

I appreciate situations and outcomes will be different for everyone, however, any general comments would be appreciated.

Quantity surveyor that works alongside me:

Late 30’s, wife a couple of years younger. Kids never on the cards. Wife has change of heart and now wants kid(s). QS still dead against the idea. Causes arguments.

Go to relate at £35 a go. 8 sessions suggested, went 10 times.

Nothing really sorted. Still in strange limbo situation. One thing he has stated is that he never really opened up and told the truth. He always held back as he felt if he did tell the truth, then they would be finished as a couple.

Sister now going to sessions with her partner and another couple that me and my wife like. Unfortunately, the guy started having rumpy pumpy with one of his staff.

Seems to me that Relate and similar are pointless, what with the marriage guidance available on PH...

For example:
Vixpy1's opening line to me on the Guildford curry night was:

'So your missus ditched you then'

What more do you need!

I'm surprised he didn't recommend taking her to the OXO Tower to patch things up.

He did suggest I buy her a gift, something in the wing'd horse line...
