"So" Emily says, flipping through papers and files.
"It says here "She points to a spot on the paper at the top of her clip board, "that you’re here for marriage problems "
I fidget in my chair across from her
"Yep. That’s, why I’m here" I mumble, embarrassed.
"So, what do you think the root cause of your marriage problems are? Anything that you know of?" my new therapist looks me in the eye and asks.
"Well umm there may be one thing I can think of…" I say, my face heating up.
"And that is?"
"Well you see" I begin " when me and Catherine had been dating for about three months, she had a birthday. So for her birthday we were going to go to a fancy restaurant. I wanted to get her a gift, so I decided I would get her a non to expensive, but still cute, ring to wear. A causal one. And when I handed her the ring from across the table,she looked at me, and thought I had just proposed. And she said yes. From then on I never had the heart to tell her I wasn’t proposing. And that, I think is what may be causing the problems. "
"You mean to tell me that you married a girl you dated for 3 months and didn’t even want to marry her
? "
"Well, um, yes"
