Asking Eric: Husband’s connection with “professional tease” tests marriage
The Denver Post - Dec 18th, 2024
The story involves two separate scenarios. In the first, a woman has been married for nearly 10 years and has two children. She suspects her husband of infidelity after finding inappropriate texts on his phone, leading to feelings of anger and betrayal. She plans to seek individual counseling and considers couples counseling to address these issues. In the second scenario, a woman named Fred has been married for over 40 years and enjoys painting and playing the recorder. She feels unacknowledged by her husband, as he never comments on her hobbies. She is advised to communicate her desire for feedback and encouragement directly to her husband.
