Advice on my marriage counseling experience?

Question by A_Treat: Advice on my marriage counseling experience?
My guy and I went to about 8 marriage counseling sessions. The counselor seemed nice and helpful, and during session 5 or so said that she believed we could work our problems out. About two sessions later, while just seeing me, she said she felt strange being our counselor when she had doubts about it working out. There is no abuse, drugs/alcohol or cheating, we are just two people from different backrounds who have always struggled. I called the counselor to tell her I was having problems seeing progress (wanting to see if she thought if it was not having a good connection with her or each other) and she told me she agreed and that I should “get out now”. While I respect her professional opinion, I thought I was going to marriage counseling, not divorce counseling. I knew that we argued during sessions and visibly had problems, but was I naaive in thinking that a counselor would suggest divorce this quickly? Should we try another counselor? Has anyone else had a similar experience?
