My wife caught me several times in the last few months, now encouraging counseling.

[diamond]

It's a rather embarrasing topic but I'm sure most men would understand.

Should I see a counselor at her request to satisfy her demands, or should I only go when and if I feel good and ready to do so with the correct attitude?

What do you guys think ?

Five stars. Five fucking stars.


PS: Do what she says. Counseling (from the right person) is good for you, regardless of its necessity.

Attaboy, db. Keep it up.

It certainly can't hurt to talk to someone, but counselling probably isn't needed unless other aspects of your life are seriously suffering.

Otherwise, every guy on the planet would have to start seeing someone by their 13th birthday.

ETA: I also give this thread five stars. This is the best thread in months.

Follow that advice and she'll be crawling back like a bird on it's belly.

Well guys I haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do here yet.

We disagree whether if it's harmful to the marriage and all.

And I feel no urgency to run off to a stranger or professional to discuss this matter, besides that we sort of had an oral prenupital that she was ok with this practice of mine, prior to our betrothal and marriage, I mean she knew about it.

I will keep you posted as things unfold for those that are interested.

I'd follow the logic of George Costanza:

"If every guy who did that had to go see a psychiatrist ..."

"... Yes?"

"...Whatever."

She's sighing under her breath at me this morning because I haven't booked an appointment....

I feel embarrassed on your behalf, Diamond. Embarrassed you felt the need to share this type of information on a U2 forum.

This is what happens when people make assumptions.
Lara and I have had a amicable relationship on these boards over the years.

And she would be the last person that I would want to dupe, but oh well.

I do appreciate her coming forward as a friend and offering her gentle and firm advice as a friend though, however this isn't a thread about masterbation or looking at pornography- as many have assumed.

Some knowing my cleverness have lurked from the shadows watching this discussion develop.

This is a thread about me seeing U23d eight times within the last 9 weeks, mostly with friends-I went the first time alone making sure it would be a good production.

So my dear friends, do you as u2 fans think I need to see a counselor over this?

Thank you,

I didn't assume you were talking about what anyone else had suggested/joked about

Sooo, what did you think I was talking about-that it was "embarrassing" for public discussion on a "U2 Fourm"?

I thought maybe you were writing checks to Obama's campaign......

 

[Phalanx]

In my opinion I think it's wrong to say you need counseling. The problem doesn't necessarily lie not with you but with how she internalizes the behavior i.e. what she thinks it says about your relationship.

Incidentally, I read this article a few days ago and figured it may be of use to you:

Brother Phalanx-

Thank you for your advice without judgement or condemnation.


You have a great profile page here too on Interference, I noticed:

Other Bands I like: B.B King, Thin Lizzy, Muse, Buddy Guy, Coldplay, Oasis, Gipsy Kings, anything from Motown, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughan, AC/DC, The Who, Travis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Russian Red Army Choir,

Love your diversity in your taste of music.

You might want to reread this whole thread though.

your friend,

diamond

Maybe you're getting old and can't remember that you just saw it...

Maybe an M.D. would be better than counseling. I think your wife is just concerned, and frankly, I would be too.

 

[DaveC]

Well db, in this case, run, don't walk.

 

[Salome]

I still think counselling shouldn't be ruled out

 

[RedRocksU2]

Don't feel bad D, I know someone that has seen U23D 13 times!

I'm sure most men would understand.

How is it that would most men would understand your obsession with U23D?

Exactly.

Yep. If it's not a true confession, isn't it supposed to be locked?

never mind

do you walk out of the theatre, see the poster for U23D and think, "I'd really like that, I think I'll just pop in and have a look ". The cycle goes on and on until you walk out the exit without a poster?

 

[Carek1230]

I wanted a poster but never got one.
