Dealing with negative partners

[YetAnother]

It isn't your place to come in here and criticise people on their advice

i'm terribly sorry. it just felt like that's what you did to me when i suggested counseling and you equated that to a band-aid on a broken finger -pointless.
i don't think counseling is pointless. but hey, it's probably not my place to disagree either.
anyway, i shouldn't have taken it so personally. you were just being anecdotal with your buddy Sil and you obviously know more about whats going on than i do. L8R
