When she got Home she d Call again to Check in with me. I found these Calls a nuisance and told her so. We finally decided to see a marriage Counselor. 1 was stunned when the Counselor said she saw nothing wrong with Janet s actions and i should be pleased that she was so 1 suggested another Counselor. Janet refused and we were divorced six months later. Janet says she still loves me and i am permanently in love with her but i can to stand her actions and she won t attempt to change. Do you see any Hope Here a Reader in Tenn. Dear Tenn a competent Counselor would have told you and Janet that her need to Call you so often was not merely thoughtfulness but most Likely obsessive compulsive behaviour stemming from guilt. Now that you know Janet cannot control this perhaps you can be More tolerant and she will consider seeing a therapist who is better trained. Good Luck. C creators Syndicate inc.
