Do you love your partner, but feel your relationship is stuck on repeat<\/span><\/a> because of his or her behaviour? Know your partner needs therapy but they are just not listening to you?<\/p>\n

Is it wrong to ask your partner to go to therapy?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you keep suggesting to a partner that they need support, it’s important to take an honest look at your intentions for making the suggestion and what it means.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do you suggest they seek therapy<\/a> because you are worried and concerned about them, and want them to feel better? Did you make the suggestions in calm, connected moments?<\/li>\n
  2. Or are you deep down just sick of listening to them, secretly want them to rely on someone else, or want to prove that ‘they are the crazy one’, not you? Do you suggest they go to therapy during arguments<\/span><\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If the second paragraph feels uncomfortably familiar, it might be that<\/strong> you are using sending them to therapy as a way to disguise the fact that your relationship just isn’t working<\/a>.<\/p>\n
