Hi all,
My partner and I have been doing couples counseling for a few weeks at this point, and something happened during the last session that I'm not sure how to feel about. Before the session, my partner was texting this list of issues he wanted to discuss in the session. All of them were related to me and fairly negative.
I stated in a previous session that I have some anger toward my partner for the way he's acted in the relationship. He then turned that into I have anger issues and need to deal with that. Went as far as to lie to the couple's counselor and tell him that I lost a previous job because my anger issues were so bad and nobody wanted to work with me. I quit my last job and was never fired; it just wasn't a good place to work, but that's a story for a different time.
Anyways, I knew all of this was being said because my partner thought he was sending private messages in the therapist portal app when I was a part of the text chain. The therapist didn't seem phased by this at all. We ended the session with the therapist asking to just see my partner the following week, and me not coming.
I feel like it was a super crappy thing for my partner to do, and I don't know what the therapist thinks about it, and it's just not sitting well with me.
