Therapy Session 1: Therapy Free, Advice Priceless:

Welcome our expert Candlestick Maker- She is brought in for extra guidance for the MALE topics....our Candlestick Maker’s motto is,  “Don’t think you are special because you hate your husband.”  I think she could write a book on that topic!  

Baker:  My husband isn’t speaking to me... should I be concerned?

Butcher:  No I would go to my husband’s state of mind here which is “Hot Damn, she’s not talking, therefore I can do MORE of what I want to do.”  I would consider this a vacation.  Don’t you love man thinking?  Seriously, you are mad so now I am mad also.  Sometimes when you are of the superior chromosome makeup, you have to think lower and begin thinking like them......

CSM:  So, husband not talking to you.  Tell me where to sign up! Really don’t worry about it.  Sooner or later their penis will start doing the thinking and then they’ll talk to you again.

Butcher:  They always know you when it is THEIR idea. I would pray for the silent treatment!  Seriously, if I could go through a few days without HIS comments about stuff that really doesn’t matter, I could get so many things accomplished.  Seriously.....how much does the Y chromosome slow down WOMAN thinking?  

CSM:  This is so my topic!  I’m kind of thinking I like my CSM handle.  Isn’t that something kinky?

Butcher-  Customer service ?? Isn’t it?  I don’t want to know what you are doing for your customer service at home!  

CSM:  Just intense therapy.

Butcher-  Did we mention the Candlestick maker is the kinky one also?  

CSM:  Yeah, you know my life.  Nothing but knots in this rope!

Butcher:  The best I have going is Shades of Grey.  

CSM:  Oh, good point.  You are so much more advanced than I am.

Baker:  Hey, back to therapy.  So far what I am getting.. I should be thankful.... and he is on a vacation on my dime. So you are telling me he is having a good time with this. THAT makes me livid.  HOWEVER,  I got to admit I enjoy the peace.  So if he is happy and enjoying this... I probably need to A) Enjoy this myself, maybe go on vacation in my own head... or B) Not let him have a free lunch here and really get his goat by telling him I am going to paint something and watch him go into orbit.  My last trick was to hide his coasters and he was like a mouse that lost his cheese.  Am I bipolar?  

Butcher-  No you are crazy, he is bipolar.  

CSM:  The BEST thing to do is act like you like the silent treatment.  It will drive him even crazier.  You might even call the kids or the Butcher or CSM and have your daily conversations with them instead of him so that he knows he can be replaced by any listening ear.  Just give him back what he’s giving you and let him know 2 can play his game.
