My first instinct says, no, don't sign any release of information. Go ahead and risk the accusations that you are hiding something. You know you're not. Be strong in that resolve. If the S#*t hits the fan, she'll have those records subpoenaed anyhow, so if it's that important, make her work for it. When she sees there's nothing there to make an issue out of, she'll be the dumb-ass. The fact that you are making efforts on two fronts is commendable in itself. Some spouses (like mine) will refuse to admit they even have issues, never seek help and will blame the other for all the unhappiness in their lives. Stand fast, don't try to be the nice guy. You'll finish last.

I spoke with both counselors and they agree that joining together would help determine the best course of action to take and would help in the healing. I live in a “no fault” state, so she could subpoena anything she wanted and it still wouldn’t matter. I am out to make myself a better person. If our marriage improves because of this, I am all for it. I signed the release and sent them two days ago. We’ll see how things go.
