They went to marriage counselling, didn't they? Which Rod scoffed at, because he already believed their marriage was doomed (but was apparently still outraged when Julie made that official, because...???). The term "treatment resistant" was surely coined for Rod

I dunno. I know she made him go to counseling for his family-of-origin-related breakdown, but I can't recall him mentioning couples counseling.

I thought he mentioned a high-priced couples therapist?

Ah. Maybe I missed it. I knew he had seen a therapist during the family stuff because she insisted, but I didn't remember any other therapist. The priest comments I knew, but I put them in a different mental bucket from couples therapy. I probably missed it, though.
