I have a question that this episode sparked regarding marriage therapy. Many years ago I went to marriage therapy with my now ex-husband. The therapist was one hired by the Coast Guard (I'm active duty and so was he at the time) who saw people for everything and could refer people out if needed. My ex had visited prior to us going there for marriage therapy because he had dealing with depression (he was referred out after one or two visits and before our visit). Our first visit, she gave us a bunch of homework (individual questionnaires) and we just gave some intros. On the second visit I had brought my detailed questionnaire and my ex had barely touched his. I wish I could remember the exact words used (this was 7 or 8 years ago), but she told me in a lot of words, and with him sitting right there, that I could find someone who wanted the same things as me (she read my questionnaire) and had similar moral values. She then told him that he needed to get a better handle on his depression first since it would be a big barrier to trying to work on a marriage. She pretty much dismissed us after that, with the strong suggestion that my ex work on his depression. I was a little surprised that she was basically telling us it wasn't going to work. Do marriage counselors normally do this or is it unusual? We did end up seeing a different therapist a year or so later who was more optimistic about our chances, though at that point I was pretty much done and I think I canceled after three or four sessions. So, I didn't listen to the first one and felt that maybe I should have, but it's always stuck with me, how direct she was about her feelings even with him sitting right there.

Good questions. In general, good couples therapists never give the impression (or even have the thought) that a couple is doomed or that nothing can be done - particularly in the first number of sessions and particularly in a situation like that. But it's hard to know what the therapist was thinking. It's possible that the therapist was trying their best but just didn't know how to communicate well. No therapist can know what's best for a couple.

How do you feel about the concept of kids wanting to have sex with an adult and the adult giving In to it? I’m asking. Because as a kid since I was 5-6, I always wanted to have sex with adults and I would constantly go to them and would get it done. Which is wrong of me because I knew they couldn’t but I would look for It? I dunno
