Yes. EY insurance does not cover it. That being said the most important thing to establish is that 1. both want to make it work, 2. For the right reasons, e.g not kids or societal shame but for each other, 3. Move on from the past, forgive and forget about it after 1 and 2 are established. Get strong extended close family support (if they are vested in your success) from both sides as appropriate. Honesty - don't lie or hide from each other. Initially it is tough but leverage the counselor to complain/vent when required. Don't complain to anyone outside the inner circle (you, spouse, counselor) and don't take anyone else's negative suggestions. A few cents from my experience.

My wife and I went to make our marriage stronger. So we had a common goal and it was good to have a neutral 3rd party listen and provide guidance. We started off doing weekly sessions and then downgraded to every two weeks and then monthly until we stopped once we felt comfortable. Overall helpful and I would recommend it.

We used my insurance which is Cigna. I have to pay up to my annual copay after which insurance kicks in at the percentage based on the selected plan.

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.

Unsure if my bf and I are incompatible or if I’m not compromising enough. How do you know the difference? He has so many great qualities that I love but also lacks some qualities that I would like to have but idk if I would be giving up on someone that is great for little things.

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security. After investing my blood, sweat and tears into my career for years, I’ve decided I don’t care about my career or earnings as long as I have enough to support my family. We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.
