Jdoe Asked:
“My husband and I have been together for nine years. In the last 2 years our relationship has drastically changed. I feel like I cannot say anything without getting a negative, irritated, or belittled reaction from him. We have been going to marriage counseling and the counselor has stated he is verbally abusive and that she suggests anger management. At first he refused, but then a week later had a change of heart. It has now been 3 weeks and he has still not committed to sign up. We are also supposed to be reading a book recommended by the counselor, he has not started. We have a four year old daughter and she seems to make comments more and more that show she is aware of our dysfunction. I am tired of constantly walking on eggshells. What justifies leaving the situation, and how do you even begin to start that conversation if you are supposed to have it?”

Dear Jdoe,
You start the conversation with your counselor, whom you are paying to be a neutral third party. It is in counseling that the two of you are supposed to be able to talk about issues in your marriage that need to be addressed.
Sincerely,
