I am really not happy with how things are between dh and me. He does not care and even when I have asked him just to talk about it he has told me that I am too "unintelligent" to do so... So you can see that this is not a good starting point. However, I really have to talk about things if I can move on and be happier with him and therefore in general so it may come to the point where I have to say that we HAVE to talk to someone otherwise we have to live separately... This morning there was a big row after being okay when we were away last weekend. As soon as we get back home he cares only about work and the kids and I feel very unloved. There seem to be so many things wrong that I really need the help of someone else to talk about them. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I once read about a type of counselling in a magazine where the counsellor comes to your house called ouverture or something like that... has anyone heard of a similar thing or been through it... Has anyone also found that counselling really helped them.

I should add that we have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and I am pregnant. If all of the above were not true things would either be much better between us or we would not be together anymore because I would be free.

I take it he is aware that you are unhappy.

maybe it would be useful for you to talk to a counsellor alone first - to get your head straight about what upsets you. Bear in mind that being pregnant may be affecting the way you feel - all those extra hormones don't help being emotionally balanced in my experience.
