This is why Mo is not the right person for her, right now. Perhaps with therapy AND couples therapy they could make it work again, but they both don't seem to be much into traditional therapy which is sad.
What do you guys think of the above?
Definitely agree that Annie would profit immensely from therapy. But I have to say that I don't believe couples therapy will help.
Annie and Mo are the wrong persons for each other, period. And yes, I don't believe you can work marriages out by counseling and therapy. If you don't match, you don't match and should leave. Because two people changing and bending themselves to breaking point just to stay together is nuts and a waste of time.
Unfortunately, and yes I've said this before, a child is involved now. Even if she wanted to change through therapy, she would still be stuck in her toxic relationship that reinforces her bad coping mechanisms. And even if she did leave him, he still would not leave her alone hence the kid they have together. In Germany we say "Wie man sich bettet, so liegt man" - make a bed, that's how you lie.
So... of course one could always hope for change in a partner. But is it worth the wait and work? Trying to work on Mo would be way to exhausting for me, I wouldn't even start trying

I'd just leave that guy.

She has plenty of money, she can afford to go see a therapist at least once a week. She can even get one through her health insurance probably and if that's not enough she can pay for the other appointments. She has no legit excuse, she just doesn't want to. I'm sure she's afraid everything will be ripped apart
This!
Deep down inside, Annie knows her relationship is a dead end. She has a company and a kid with this guy. If she ends it, SHE will be the one required to pay child support and alimony to Mo, since she is the wealthier one. And if the prenub is bad or if she doesn't have one, it might be the end of nourished 3 as well.
I understand that people have wishes and life goals and one of Annie's wishes was having kids. But pushing for those things with the wrong partner is the worst you can do. Her trying to build a life with this guy shows that she longs for deep connection and a beautiful life. Admitting that she chose the wrong person to do that with is very devastating.
