just had a couples session of counseling?
i have been crushed by my separation. 3 months now. due to alcoholism. i am now sober since may 19th. in the session today wife says "i don’t know what you’ve been told but i’m not taking him back" to the counselors. then she acknowledged during the communication exercises that we did that the 20 years that we’ve been together is worth fighting for. i’m so confused. does she or doesn’t she wanna keep this marriage together?

She is angry and rightly so. Your alcoholism has hurt and damaged her. She probably doesn’t know what she wants at the moment, and her statement sounds that of someone who is emotionally exhausted and is self defensive because of it. I wouldn’t hold out too much hope that this situation will be fixed quickly, if at all.
She’d like to, but she isn’t totally sure yet. Ask her!
She proabably does but she just doesn’t trust you not going back on the bottle. Addiction is hard for EVERYONE who loves the person addicted and its VERY stressful to deal with even if you love the person. No matter what happens YOU need to stay on the wagon to have a sense of life worth living with or without your wife. G’luck!
