Just when you thought that nothing will save your marriage, somebody gives you a helping hand.
This happened to me lately, when my friend being well aware about my marital problems, arranged for a visit to his psychiatrist. I wasn't intitially too keen to see him, but there was really nothing to lose, as my wife and I had already separated, and only months divided us from going to the Superior Court and starting divorce proceedings.
So what exactly this psychiatrist, turned divorce councelor, told me. Well, he alerted me to the fact that I've a split personality that makes any relationship quite challenging. he also told me, that I've try an anger management course, as my outbursts of abusive behavior was hard to control.
Finally, he told me to approach my wife and ask her for a meeting, on a neutral territory. This should be her and mine opportunity to look back, and eveluate how the separation period has worked for us.
Although contacting my wife wasn't easy, I gather all my courage and phoned her one evening.
That was six weeks ago. The next day we met at our favorite burger joint. Then, we spent an afternoon together, and jointly decided to meet the next day, after we think about it all overnight.
It was her, who called me first the next day. She said: "I admit to my faults, you've acknowledged yours, let's get together again." That was it. I've moved back to our home. We're building our "next" stage of marriage together. Oh, have to go back say: Thank you!" to the good doctor; and my friend!
