Worst Couples Counsellor EVER

I keep thinking that things will change for the better. I keep thinking if I give myself enough time to try and sort things out, eventually we will work it out, I’ll start to feel better, and our relationship will improve.
Our last session with our new relationship counsellor (session number 2 including the intake one) didn’t go so well.
I was extremely sleep deprived and really our of it after working a full day. I didn’t even know we had this appointment and I ran into Rob on the road on the way home. He pulled over, rolled down his window and informed me the appointment was that day. (This was Tuesday I believe)
For the past week or so he was bugging me to call the counsellor because he didn’t know when or where this place was. I don’t have the phone number. He’s the one that called the place when I told him I was going to leave him a few weeks ago.
It was a weird session. It ended in me trying to explain why I hated the paint job in our bathroom so much, why I was frustrated that he threw away my loofah without asking, and hasn’t put up our shower organizer for 3 months like he said he would. The counsellor was treating me like a child and said to Rob “its times like this when you need to just be the bigger person and go along with it”
And made me feel like the biggest bitch in the world. Even if I was being irrational, the guy could have tried to see how I was feeling, and acknowledged it, which is all I was looking for! I just wanted to be justified. I was upset, and the whole issue was that Rob was shrugging it off and “going along with it”
I told Rob I don’t want to see this guy anymore.

You shouldn’t see that guy anymore. He sucks and obviously is far from impartial.
