Ellen and her husband Bob went
for counselling after 25 years of marriage.
When asked what the
problem was, Ellen went into a passionate, painful
tirade listing every problem
they had ever had in the 25 years they had been married.
She went on and on and on:
neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness,
feeling unloved and unlovable,
an entire laundry list of unmet needs she had endured
over the course of their marriage.
Finally, after allowing this to
go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up,
walked around the desk and after asking Ellen to stand,
embraced her, unbuttoned her blouse and bra,
put his hands on her
breasts, while kissing her
passionately as her husband Bob watched with a raised eyebrow!
Ellen shut up, buttoned up her blouse, and quietly sat down.
The therapist turned to Bob and said, 'This is what your wife
needs at least three times a week..
Can you do this?'
Bob thought for a moment and replied, 'Well, I can drop her
off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf."
