tiger20 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 That's right. If your wife is having counseling sessions with a male therapist all alone without you present then the marriage is probably in trouble. Get a divorce. Don't discuss it with her. Just run out to divorce court as soon as possible, get the papers & put them on the kitchen table for her to find when she gets home. There is no excuse for a spouse to put himself/herself in a position of giving the appearance of having an affair. So get the divorce as soon as possible. In the meantime sleep on the couch until you find another place to live.
Author tiger20 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 She'll be in for the shock of her life when she comes home from work one day & she didn't see it coming that she has divorce papers on the table.
Pyro Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I know. How dare her go and seek some professional advice for her marriage issues and not finding a female therapist.
ladychesterton Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 This is kind of crazy. Many husbands refuse to go to counseling or don't think it's for them. Then where does that leave the woman? She'd have no choice but to go alone. If it were me, I would be happy my wife cared enough to try and make things better. Also, it extremely unethical for a counselor to get involved with a client. Yes, there's the stereotype, but most are really not willing to give up their license. They are trained to deal with needy clients. If you feel that threatened by it, why not go along sometime to the session?
Mick1963 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I'm undergoing therapy with a female counselor for my porn/sex addiction in an effort to repair my life and marriage following my affair and other issues. Our sessions have been very productive. She's very blunt and straight to the point, and through her she's giving me an idea of what my wife might be thinking and feeling. My wife - whom I've been separated from for two months - has not asked much about my therapy, just how it was going and if they were group or individual sessions. She hasn't expressed any concerns about me visiting a female therapist. I hope eventually my wife and I can go together to marriage counseling, but it will be tough. She's a guarded person who doesn't like to open up about her feelings and emotions; she was like that long before our recent problems. Edited February 14, 2011 by Mick1963
worldgonewrong Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I'm not following the logic of this original post. Male therapist = wife is automatically f**king him? I don't get it. Seems a bit overly paranoid to me.
