Only two people live in our house. One of them has an unhealthy appetite for binge watching what might loosely be termed as voyeuristic tv experiments in the human psyche. It is more correctly classified as crap by the other, wiser member of the household!
It would appear, somewhat frustratingly, that this so called entertainment actually has something going for it in terms of life & relationship counselling….
We have been married for twenty years this year and in common, I imagine, with many other couples enjoying such marital longevity, we appear to have meandered down a dead end in terms of intimacy and affection. Neither of us is happy with this situation and whilst communication channels remain loosely open, I am not sure either of us really knows how to reverse this diversion and get us back on track.
Finding myself in the unfortunate position of being in the same room as an episode of one of these shows, it seems there are lessons to be learned. I found myself offering the people in the show the exact advice that I should be be giving myself. Talk more. Cuddle more. Take a chance every now & again. If you don’t tell someone how you feel they are never going to know.
It appears that I am wiser than I thought aside from in one important aspect. I am great at giving advice, I just need to start following it myself!
