Couples Counseling -Are You Kidding Me? That's It For Me.

If you are just joining me you

really need to read

Session One and

Session Two & Three to understand

this whole scenario.

We are now down to 

THREE COUPLES.

Couple # 3 is the reverse of me and MyHero.

James thinks everything is funny.

His wife takes everything a bit too seriously.

Seriously!

James and I try not to sit where we can make

eye contact because it is all downhill from there.

Session Three:

James comes by himself.

Counselor/Lila:  Where is your wife?

James:  Ummm....she isn't coming tonight.

Lila: Oh-Is she ill?

James:  No, she's mad.  Say, could you take a look at my back?  

She threw something at me

and I think it might have cut my back.

She says she is not coming back again.

Lila:  Well, this is certainly too bad.

(I start laughing again and so does James)

We are now down to 

TWO COUPLES.

Me:  Lila, I don't think this is for us-

um...we don't have these kinds of  problems.

Lila:  No, No...you need to come...you can serve

as a good example.

Ummm...There is no one left to serve as

an example for-but we'll see.

We never went back.

Do you suppose she is still sitting there....

all alone...in that room.....with the door open....

with the coffepot on....waiting?

Waiting?

Waiting?

Nah! Probably Not.

And, thus, ended our counseling sessions

although I swear MyHero still needs help!;>)

Couples Counseling Session Two & Three-Are You Kidding Me?

If you didn't read yesterday's post

It tells you about how we

started counseling.

Couple Number One

NEVER CAME BACK.

That left four couples.

Couple # 2 had BIG PROBLEMS.

Her:  HE loves his dog MORE THAN he loves me.

Him:  I do not! You blame that poor dog

for everything. 

I don't love that dog more

than I love you!

Her:  Yes.You.Do.

Counselor/Lila:  Okay....here is your assignment for the week.  

HIM, I want you to write a letter

to the dog AS IF you 

are saying goodbye to Fido.

Now, You 

DON'T HAVE TO GET RID OF FIDO,

but this will put it in perspective

for you and HER will know that you are sincere about your feelings for her 

(and the dog).

Session Three:

Couselor/Lila:  HIM, could you please

read the letter you wrote to Fido?

HIM:  Dear HER, I know you won't

understand this but I can't bear

to part with Fido.

HE  came back with a 

GOODBYE letter to his wife because

he couldn't bear to part with the dog.

(Once again- I started laughing and 

could not quit)

They never came back.

Can you stand one final session?

Pop by tomorrow and read the 

bitter end.

I am away all day every day this week but will try to play catch up at night when I get home.

Counseling-Session One- Are You Kidding Me?

Long, long ago in a place

of newly wedded bliss years

when we still looked like this

we found a group through church

that offered 

COUPLES COUNSELING.

We were doing okay but thought

-what could it hurt-

Session One:
We start out with FIVE couples.

We go around the room and everyone

says 2 things they LIKE about their spouse.

MyHero: #1- Well, she is even-tempered-always the same

no big ups and downs.

#2- She has a great sense of humor.

Good-good- says Lila, the counselor.

Next we go around the room  and everyone

says 1 thing that "bothers" them about their spouse.

MyHero:  She thinks everything is funny.

(I stated laughing and could not stop-

matter of fact I am laughing as I type this)

Lila:  Isn't that a direct contradiction?

You said she has a great 

sense of humor and now you say 

she thinks everything is funny?

(I am still laughing out loud as she is talking)

MyHero-spluttering:  No! No!  In HER CASE

it is NOT a contradiction.

It went downhill from there.

Pop back by tomorrow for

Session Two

(I am away all day but will check in tonight and try to catch up)
