<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

My boyfriend and I are planning on moving in together in a few months but have always struggled with communication. Things have gotten better but we often still don't see eye to eye, and a friend of mine suggested that it may perhaps be best to seek couple's counseling to strengthen our communication skills before moving in.

I think that's good advice, but I know my boyfriend will be very resistant to the idea. A member of my family has been in therapy for many years and as a byproduct, everyone in my family learned common communication skills pushed forward by many psychologists. Things like "I feel" statements, active listening, etc. My boyfriend feels very patronized when I attempt to communicate with him in this way. I understand his feelings but struggle to communicate any other way, and he tends to not be so good at the feelings-sharing. He's also got it in his mind that seeing a psychologist is useless to him, as he did not find therapy helpful when his father died when he was 16. Again, I understand, but in my experience most people swear off therapy before really giving in an earnest chance.

Lastly, there's the concern of cost. I have decent healthcare through my employer but sadly my boyfriend does not enjoy the same benefit. His healthcare is pretty much only for emergencies, with a high deductible and no mental health coverage. How does insurance break down in this way? What is the out-of-pocket cost for your average couples therapist?
<bot>: Boyfriend and I are moving in together, may benefit from couples therapy beforehand but he hates shrinks and I'm not sure if he/we can afford it anyway. Plz help.
