I was hoping this would be a really facetious joke topic, like that the session went really well and your wife is in love with you again so you can't dump her or something like that.

I'm sorry your relationship has come to this. It's never easy confronting the negative aspects of someone you care so much about, let alone a romantic partner. I feel like denial has a lot to do with it - you want to make something work because it's such a core part of your life, but there's only so long you can ignore the bad stuff or try to live with it before it's all that the relationship is to you.

It's not unfair or wrong to feel that way, either. As you said, you feel like you were going along with the session when it was all about your negative qualities, but when you tried to assert your needs in this space which is meant to help both of you, she fell right off. You're trying to work with her and it feels like she isn't as receptive to your needs. That's valid.

Do you have a good support structure in your life should the worst come to pass? If not, you might want to touch base with some people who can be there for you in case of a worst case scenario. Even if this can be smoothed out, start making a survival plan just in case.
