Will counseling help your partner's controlling narcissistic behavior or is it a waste of your time?

Counseling, in my opinion, always should be tried as a solution to help save the relationship before breaking up is considered as the only means of happiness. A partner can become controlling for many reasons (he or she has their own confidence issues and controlling his or her partner could be a boost to their ego), but that behavior cannot continue as resentment builds up and eventually breaks the relationship up. Relationship counseling can be very helpful for a couple, even if the two don't stay together. Human beings weren't born with instruction booklets and, in taking the nurture versus nature approaching, the way one was raised could significantly get in the way of certain biological tendencies and matters if the heart human beings were born with to help couples thrive and make babies. We weren't meant to be attracted to people with whom we are not compatible. Yet, society is making it very hard to be happy in a relationship. My advice: Try talking to a professional. The worse that could happen is you break up, but go away with a little more knowledge you can use in your next relationship endeavor.

What is conjoint marital counseling?
Marital counseling is counseling which is focused on the marriage. The difference between this and individual counseling would generally be that both spouses are present, and that the counselor is on "the side of the relationship". Both partners will tend to have parts in co-creating the marriage (making it unhappy as well as making it happier). The job, then, of the marital counselor, is to advocate for all change that is positive to the relationship, and not to "take a side" between the couple.

Can your baby's dad stop you from seeing other people?
Antennas go up when I read this question. There may be cultural or social differences here; I'm assuming you are in a western culture where women and men have the same rights and privileges, and where husbands do not have the right to force their wives to do anything.I'm also assuming that his desire to control your behavior has nothing at all to do with you seeing former partners or boyfriends. While he still couldn't force you not to see such guys, it would be understandable that he would have some strong opinions in the matter.No, he cannot. You are not in prison; he is not your god or your owner. If this is really troubling you, you may want to seek some couples counseling, or individual counseling if he is not inclined. You may want to know ahead of time what you would do (who you would call or where you would go) in the event that his control. Counselors, social workers, maybe even physicians should be able to give you some leads on shelters you might consider, shelters that make every effort to stay hidden from controlling or abusive partners. It sounds like you are in the earlier stages of the relationship. I'm not suggesting it's hopeless; I just hope that you don't have to suffer for years and years at the hands of an over-controlling partner before you see the light.
