Is Your Wife Feeling Neglected?
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:53 am
After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife came for counseling.
When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate,
painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years
they had been married.
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.
Finally, after allowing this for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up,
walked around the desk and after asking the wife to stand, embraced and
kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow.
The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist
turned to the husband and said, “This is what your wife needs at least
3 times a week. Can you do this?”
The husband replied, “Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and
Wednesdays, but on Friday, Saturday and Sundays I shoot trap!!”
