There are many reasons that couples come to me for sessions, but the main one is s**. Or lack of it. It is nearly always the same narrative. I get emails, letters, inquiries all asking me for the solution to the thorny problem of why s** has exited the marriage and what the couple can do about it.
It’s incredibly difficult for one partner to tell the other partner they don’t want s** any more. It comes loaded with feelings of rejection, loss, sadness, anger, fear, abandonment, shame. Yet time and time again I come across the same problem — one person wants more s** than the other one. Over my years as a couples counsellor this has been commonplace.
Recommendation, have an affair with someone else.
