A man and a woman should solve family problems together or seek help from an expert, but also together.

There is nothing to hide here, often men are in no hurry to trust someone on the side, with the exception of their friends. What should a woman do in such a situation?

According to psychologists, first of all, it is necessary to understand the reason for such behavior, and then look for a way out of the current situation.

What is the reason?

It's all very simple. A man doesn't believe that some complete stranger will help him, the head of the family, to figure out what he himself can't figure out.

This is called mistrust. But besides this, a man can refuse because of a feeling of shame and this is also understandable.

Besides doubts and personal fears, pride can stop him.

What should a woman do?

If a woman intends to save the relationship, then under no circumstances should she insist, despair or throw tantrums.

First, plan to have the conversation in as calm an environment as possible.

Secondly, carefully choose your expressions and phrases, trying to explain that a visit to a family psychologist is needed not for the man, but for the two of you.

Thirdly, exclude the words “treatment”, “therapy” and the like, so that he does not have any ambiguous associations.

Fourth, instead of citing examples of your friends who were helped by some psychotherapist to save their families, arm yourself with real, scientific facts.

Fifth, be sure to ask the man what results he expects from the proposed visit.

And if your persuasion doesn’t help, then suppress his resistance by personal example.

Start taking the course on your own and don’t neglect the expert’s advice.

A man, noticing obvious changes in a woman’s behavior, will stop being stubborn and agree.

It is possible that by that time the need to visit a specialist may disappear on its own.
