Couples therapy! Please share your experience! Did it help?

I’m thinking to start couples therapy as soon as possible. We have big communication issues. And my husband doesn’t understand that silent treatment and stone walling is unacceptable.
Did you try couples therapy and what was your experience?

We never did couples counselling but years ago when we did bicker and get a lil annoyed I’d grab my keys and go, (my sister lives 5mins away, or I’d go to the beach 30mins away, or the mall- retail therapy) i think we both needed a lil space to think and collect our thoughts, but we always bring it up and solve it by the time I come back it never lasts more than a day the “silent treatment” I just needed time to cool down and think and get into a better mood before I bring it up again. Some people just need a lil time, shouldn’t go on for days though.

We did counseling! It was very hard but very good. I had a lot of relationship things I needed to work through from my parents and some other relationship stuff.

It took a lot of work and I wanted to quit some. My husband wouldn’t let us. We still go back to a lot of the things we learned

For us couples counseling wasn't financially in the cards for us (we tried) so we got communication workbooks from Amazon that we do and it's been helping and it's better than nothing so that's an option if you can't afford counseling

We did before we got married & it helped a lot, I’ve been looking for a new one since postpartum has been rough and we just had a loss and need some guidance with communication following that

Is this a good gift?

I made one of these cardigans for my daughter and I have a friend who is expecting her second. Once she announces the name, I’m thinking of doing one for her, is it an ok gift?

Equally her eldest is turning 6, and I was going to do a cardigan for her too- is that a bit of a rubbish present?

Contraception

Is anyone happy to share there contraception preferences and how it's been. I've not used contraception since I was 20 years old, I had unexplained infertility took 14 years to fall pregnant with my daughter and quick to fall with my son who is now 6 weeks old, so for me it seems I've become more fertile the older I've become... So I need to be careful now our family is complete but im not sure if I want to mess with hormones.. I have my gp appointment in 2 weeks time and want an idea of what I want

Struggling with a mess

So this is a lot clearly.. however I have been married to my husband for the past 2 years but we’ve been together for 8 years. Since having our daughter 1 year ago things have felt more distant between us. One thing led to another and I built a connection with someone else, but a woman. And this all made me realize I’m gay, and I don’t like men in that way. I still have so much love for my husband because of everything we have been through.But I’m not in love with him anymore. I’m so torn because I ended up catching feelings for the woman. I know messy, but I could use advice.
