Hence why so many people end up in couple's counseling, bringing the problems that were simmering, untreated, and have now reached a boiling point. Obviously, not the only reason why people enter couple's counseling, but definitely one reason. Communication is difficult, especially when you don't know how your words could change your life path.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079611.post-1479793174169935092013-06-14T14:39:03.669-04:002013-06-14T14:39:03.669-04:00I too found Rachel's indecision (& relucta...I too found Rachel's indecision (& reluctance to confront Adam about her feelings) frustrating at times. They were communicating well in some parts of their relationship but not on this very important point. <br /><br />Anexpatinuk put it well -- some people need to go back & forth for awhile on a decision (& sometimes get a bit of a push) before fully committing themslves one way or another. And perhaps Adam knew her well enough to realize this! loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079611.post-8253725363535440202013-06-14T05:18:23.367-04:002013-06-14T05:18:23.367-04:00Hmm good question.

Some people need to sit with their feelings themselves before talking about them as not to make more damage in not being sure. So yes, I think they were communicating, as best as they could this other time around.

I can be indecisive, but she didn't really even if she wanted to get married again or not! She seemed to keep going back and forth. I'm glad she got it figured out in time!

But I also accepted that is part of who she is and believed that she was just afraid of remarrying and it somehow not working out again. Even though the main issues that had jeopardized their relationship pre-divorce were mostly no longer factors (i.e. both of their job changes, putting them in more fulfilling vocations, making them happier in general).Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175833982955486083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8079611.post-5418607907276137332013-06-13T14:45:31.369-04:002013-06-13T14:45:31.369-04:00That's what I was wondering!

But, by not discussing her doubts, Rachel seemed like she was uncommitted and undecided. Maybe she knew herself well enough to realize that she would eventually pull herself together. As a fairly decisive person, I also wanted to smack her and tell her to work it out before it was too late! areyoukiddingmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107214079237461141noreply@blogger.com
