Can I go to marriage counselling alone ?
*rephrased using gemini to get clear and concise responses
Hi guys ,
I'm a 29yr IT professional in Bangalore. I've been married for a few years, and we have a two-year-old daughter. My wife recently left her job to take care of our family. Lately, my wife and I have been having frequent, seemingly trivial fights that escalate into something much bigger than they should. I feel like the more I try to resolve things, the worse they get, and I'm growing frustrated and feel like I'm missing something important. While my friends are great for venting, their advice often feels like things I've already tried. I believe my wife is a simple and adjustable person, and I also believe that a lot of the problem lies in how I'm handling these situations. I'm hoping that if I can change my approach, I can de-escalate these quarrels and create a more peaceful home life. My question is: Is it possible, or even helpful, to go to a marriage or relationship counselor alone? I want to learn how to handle these situations better and get an unbiased, third-person perspective on my own behavior. Has anyone here done this? What was your experience, and did it make a positive impact on your marriage? I'm open to any advice or insights. Thanks in advance!

step 1. start meditation

I don’t see any reason why you can’t try therapy. I’m sure if you just speak to a professional, you can see fresh perspective and help you introspect how you can improve. Glad to see you taking initiative to resolve conflicts.
