(Grifton, NC, US)

I'm a married man of four years. My wife is bipolar. It's not an easy marriage and it is my 1st. Everything is always my fault. I can never do anything right. Sex is non-existent and has been for about 3 months now. Her excuse is she's never been 50 before and her meds affect this as well. I don't say anything about this as she'll get angry and sleep on the couch.


I moved here from the uk for her and have no way of going back which I don't want to anyway. I'm getting more and more depressed with lack of affection and no one to turn to. I feel very alone.

"You gave us counseling without making either one of us feel that you were taking sides.
You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship.
You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before.
You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along.
Thanks so much
for helping us."
