Should relationship counseling been considered? ?
I agree with you, however if she has chosen to move on. She has probably done you a favor. I realize your feelings are hurt, however it seems that she is either really to angry to think rationally right now or she has completely removed herself from the relationship and is unable to try anything. It the later is the case, you too should move on and find someone with the same values and ideas about a loving and mature relationship.
I don’t think you two need counseling what I do recommend is you stand up for her against your family and show them how much you truly love her…if they can’t respect your decision then its really all up to you…you’ll have to choose between your gf and your family. Your family is what’s causing the problem so you have to fix it one way or another or it might not work out between you too. Counseling is your last resort….but i doubt that will help because the problem is not between you two its between your family and your relationship with her.
It is far to early to consider counseling with her. The problem was not your relationship it was your inability to deal with the other influences you are allowing. Now your family on the other hand……………………………. If your brother is talking crap about your girl, your problem is his running his mouth not your girl taking care of her own business.
