Couples therapy

Posted by Dinah on August 21, 2002, at 20:29:39

I have the horrible feeling that any couples therapy will just make things worse by bringing out in the open problems that we now choose to ignore. When the goal is to stay together, and divorce is not an option, is ignoring things really such a bad thing?
If the problems are based on character differences, and are very unlikely to change, is it better to try to just live with them? I'm not talking about abuse or adultery, just differing personality disorders that don't always mesh particularly well.
Has anyone had couples therapy that helped or hurt their relationships?
