Boudreaux and the Therapist


Published/Last Modified on Thursday, October 29, 2009 2:42 PM CDT

Boudreaux and his wife Ellamay went for counseling after 35 years of marriage.

When asked what the problem was, Ellamay went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 35 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 Ellamay to stand, embraced her, and kissed her passionately as her husband Boudreaux watched with a raised eyebrow.

Ellamay shut up, and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

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

Boudreaux thought for a moment and replied, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf."
