I’ve been doing couples counseling for over 20 years. During that time, I‘ve specialized in saving marriages that were on the verge of ending even when only one person still wanted the relationship to work and even when they had no hope that it could be saved.
Recent question from a reader:
Dear Fred,
My husband and I broke up 3 months ago. We reconciled a week ago. He had another lover during the time we were apart. A part of me wants to grill him until I get all the details about what happened. Another part of me thinks that’s the worst thing I can do. I have a friend in a similar situation. She is so obsessed about what happened during her breakup that she is constantly questioning her husband for all the details.

Hi Fred,
My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years. We have a baby together. We recently had a big fight and I yelled and screamed at him like I often do.
He’s a pretty quiet guy. He usually doesn’t tell me what’s bothering him.

I have to admit that since the baby was born, she’s been my whole focus. He says that I don’t pay attention to him or listen to him. He said he doesn’t think I’ll change and if I don’t he’s going to break up with me.
