Needing councelling after a few months dating… give me a break!
I read recently that dating couples, sometimes who have only been together for a couple of months are requiring third party conflict resolution and counselling for their relationships, and this trend is growing. I had to read the article twice before I believed it.
“Definitely, I’m seeing more and more couples who are dating who aren’t necessarily getting married or living together,” says Catherine Wood, a Canadian psychotherapist and couples coach for 13 years. About a third of her clients are couples who have been dating for as little as six months, and this part of her practice is growing.
Stop doing this and get rid of them if it aint working!
My question is whether these couples are more realistic about love? Or postponing an inevitable breakup, whilst enjoying wasting their money?
Ms. Wood says people are dating longer and are cautious about marriage and wary of divorce. They are also more comfortable with getting professional help for personal problems than previous generations might have been. “The concept of couples therapy and coaching is becoming more and more in vogue,” Ms. Wood says.
These clowns are paying up to $150 per hour for a referee (basically). Surely a charity would benefit more from this money than a doomed relationship. If it aint working get the hell out of there, there are loads of other mates out there, some people just have too much money and no sense what to do with it..
The therapist (who is obviously coining it in) defends the need to take the suckers money by saying that if you are experiencing slight problems, the early days are the times to iron them out. Get back in your Porsches and stop ripping people off!
If you are not getting on after the first 6 months what hope have you got for the rest of your lives, stop wasting your time and money.
What would you say if your date suggested counselling after a few months? You’d be out of the door before they’d finished the sentence of course.
I do see the point if there are kids involved, but you would have been dating for at least 9 months by then. You may also be staying in a relationship because of fear…
wake up, move on and get a life!
