Depending on how old she is, maybe it means that she currently doesn't have any but wants some. Or maybe it means that at one time she was married to a man with kids, but isn't anymore.
It's a bit uncomfortable when they give answers that are more infuriating than none at all, isn't it? And I know it's hard to work to re-establish a new relationship when you're used to the one you had.
But whether therapy is worth it or not is really a decision we all have to make now and again. Do you think you're ready to go out and have a reasonably happy, fulfilling, and stable life without her? Can you make and maintain connections with others? Can you meet your responsibilities with relative ease? Does life seem worthwhile? If so, does she have more to contribute? If not, does she have more to contribute?
Thanks for bringing up the question. I think its one we all have to reconsider periodically. I just made my nine year anniversary so it seems apropos right now.
And yes. Therapy is still worth it for me.
