Wife pushing me to therapy
***Edit:
it seems like the general consensus is that my wife is unhappy and this is the last straw before a divorce. Honestly I don’t believe that is the case, because the only displeasure that she’s voiced with our relationship in the past year is that she wants me to clean more - which we now have a mutually agreed cleaning schedule and that’s not an issue. She is generally very happy in our relationship and hasn’t mentioned that my own mental hurdles are strongly impacting her. She claims that the reason she wants me to do therapy is not for her, but for me. But, if it is the case that she is close to wanting a divorce, then I’m not going to keep her in this marriage against her will. But I honestly don’t think it’s the case. I even have offered to do couples therapy with her if she e thinks we have issues that we need to talk through, and she always says “no, we are great, I just want you to have someone to talk to that isn’t biased like me”. So maybe I’ll be blindsided by a divorce filing like everyone seems to believe, or maybe I won’t. Idk I would hope that I’d she was unhappy she would just tell me that to my face.
End edit
My wife wants me to go to therapy. I don’t want to. This is not an unfounded request, as I’ve been dealing with some anxiety and depression issues, but I’ve been working through them myself the past few months and feel I’m getting better. But she is one of those people who has done therapy since she was 12 because her parents made her. So now she thinks the only way to work through issues is to talk to a stranger - meanwhile I’d rather talk to family/friends.
She went behind my back and called a bunch of therapists and gave them my name/phone number so now I’m getting texts/calls from therapists all of a sudden being like “let’s set up an appointment”.
Because of this, I feel spiteful and more inclined to “put my foot down” and not go to therapy. I was considering it, at least trying it out to satisfy her request (which feels like the wrong reason to do therapy…but idk you do a lot of things to keep a marriage going). But now that she went behind my back to try to set up these appointments for me and shove therapy down my throat, I just want to never do it because it feels like an invasion.
Like I would never be like “you need to lose weight, so I got called a bunch of private trainers”. Or “you seem lonely, so I found a bunch of people for you to be friends with”
Anyway - AITAH here for not wanting to do therapy that is being forcefully pushed on me by my wife?
