What you're carrying is a lot - and this is exactly what help is for

Score range: 0 - 12

Your answers paint a picture of a relationship under real strain – significant disconnection, conflict, or hurt, and a sense that you may have tried hard and still feel stuck. Sitting in that for any length of time is exhausting and lonely, and it takes something to be honest about how hard it’s become.

On the question you came to ask: yes. This is squarely the kind of situation couples counselling exists for. That doesn’t mean the relationship is doomed, and it doesn’t mean it has to continue either – good counselling helps you find clarity either way, whether that’s rebuilding something stronger or understanding what’s no longer working. What it offers is a way through that you don’t have to find on your own.

However stuck things feel, it’s rarely as fixed as it seems from the inside, and reaching out is a real step rather than a last resort. If you’d like, we can help match you with a relationship counsellor experienced with couples in exactly this place.
