Marriage counseling alone

I think I am going alone to marriage counseling - I know ironic, huh? I just can't deal with the BS anymore. He throws these tantrums, "I am sick and tired of..." you two (me and the theripist) ganging up on me, keep on putting words in my mouth, keep on accusing me on things I didn't do, making things out to be a much bigger deal... he minimizes all of it - even me and my feelings. I am angry today, and quite honestly, I just want to bitch to the counselor and come up with strategies to see and dodge the obsticles he throws in my way. God, it makes me so angry that he worked me into a script starring him and killed me in the first act - so to speak. How do they get so good at the games? He was playing me the other day, "So what do you think?" Anyone ever play this game with a N? Watch out, you cannot win. They have the answer, they just will wear you down until you agree - there was never an opinion desired. Just agreement. The other day I told him, "You are a big boy, descide for yourself." It was about staying over a friend's house if things got too late. He was home before 10:00 whatdoyouknow> Weird.

It was a good thing - she got to see him acting as a Narc. - she said she might have missed it if he had come in alone, he tells such a great story and is so charming. It is not until I fill in the blanks and the discrepancies he cannot ignore that the minimizing is apparent. First she thought he was a "perfectionist" now she knows and I would rather have her help me come up with my own techniques to gaurd against him rather than waste my time in "pretend" repair with him.
