Sheila and her husband Barry went for counseling after 37 years of
marriage.


When asked what the problem was, Sheila went into a passionate,
painful tirade, listing every problem they had ever had in the 37
years they had been married.

She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness,
loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of unmet needs
she had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time,
the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking Sheila to
stand and unbutton her blouse, he embraced her, put his hands on her
breasts, nuzzled her nipples till they stood erect and kissed her passionately
as her husband Barry watched with a raised eyebrow.

Her face was deeply flushed and she panted softly. Sheila shut up,
buttoned up her blouse, and quietly sat down in a daze.

The therapist turned to Barry and said, 'this is what your wife needs
at least *three times a week*. Can you do this?'


Barry thought for a moment and replied, well, I can drop her off here
Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf.
'Can you pick her up??’
