Short term change from MC
«

I noticed today that my wife actually texted me offering to pick up dinner and asked what I would like. I have to wonder if this is because we have MC in the morning and she wants be able to say that she is trying to do things for me like I asked in the last MC session.
The same thing happened last year when sex was the big issue I brought up in MC. She turned me down multiple times when it was supposed to be scheduled. Then two days before our appointment she asked me to spreschedule because she forgot about an appointment she had that morning.
I rescheduled and the day before the next appointment she had sex with me. In her mind it was taking that off the table as a complaint of mine because we did it. She checked the box and moved on.
Does anyone else see this pattern in their SO before counseling?
