@danderson,
You'd better open your mouth because your hesitation is not helping matters. So here is your script:
"Honey, I want to save what we've got. Will you go to couples therapy with me?"
And see what she says. A few possibilities:
- Sure; I think that's a good idea. Let's look at our schedules and figure out a convenient day.
- I don't want therapy but I want to work on us. Let's talk.
- Rather than therapy, I'd like to go to a member of the clergy.
- You go first and let me know how it goes before I'll commit to it.
- Stunned silence.
- Forget it; it's over.
This list is more or less in order from most positive response to most negative. The top three are great. The fourth is okay; some people are weirded out by therapy or they don't consider it an option in their lives. The fifth is probably not good but at least you've got an idea that your suggestion is going nowhere, which should spur you to end it. And of course #6 is self-explanatory.
There might be other possible responses, but I see those six as being the most likely ones.
