>Hi Joan

I was surprised when my husband, Tom was immediately

agreeable. Our counselor, (Jeff) is male, and that

helped Tom quite a bit. Kaylene

Your husband is very understanding. Mine is an old stick in the mud about a

lot of things, counseling included. We live in upstate NY, in farm country, or

should I call it hillbilly country. People here are a little behind the times in

a lot of ways. He'd never consider talking to anyone about his feelings, not

even me sometimes.

I did try counseling once. I was talking to a young psychologist just out of

school. He admitted to me that I knew more about life than he did. LOL. He said

all his learning was from books. I guess he was a bad choice for an older and

very experienced sort like me.

He suggested that we get into the " deeper " things, like sexual hangups, etc. I

couldn't open up to someone like him about that or anything else that was in any

way deep. I know I should probably try again, but it's hard to do that after one

gets so set in the same old same old like me. I do talk to God a lot. He's a

huge help.
