Marriage therapy was a complete waste of time for me; after a year and a half of weekly sessions I decided I’d rather get divorced than put that much effort into a losing proposition.

I wish you better results than I had.

NO! And that was my biggest disappointment! I completely expected them to give us concrete tips on the language to use to communicate better, but that appears to be an Anglophone phenomenon.

When you say things like this, I feel that you’re not making the proper effort, why don’t we try a different approach?

Have you been told yet to structure your sentences like that? The eponymous “When you/I feel/why don’t we” that therapists love so much.

Ballroom dancing sounds good but I think s&m would probably be more satisfying.

let her win, bah. too late, i’ve led in ballroom dancing, i’ve breathed the air of liberation.

oh, and kismet, the no ass problem usually solves itself eventually.

You know, I would almost say something like “this sounds a lot like D’s How To Win Big with Sr. Mgt at an Ad Agency,” and how maybe you’d be better served not playing these two, I mean you’re paying good money for this and everything, but then you had to go and mention the shamanic drum. Clearly your investment ni this whole thing is deep enough – showing up.

Good move with the mirrored body language.

definitely, write it all down in your calendar. no, i remembered later what it was that had triggered that anecdote. we’d been talking about asking for what you want. although the dancing/s&m comparison would make a better story.

the ballroom dancing/s&m comparison may have been what sprung the store of the “fuck me” guy. hmm.

my boyfriend tells me I have no ass. I should make a note of it for any future counseling endevors.
