After 30 years of marriage, Tom and Sandra finally decided it was time to see a marriage counselor.
The therapist asked a simple question.
“So… what seems to be the problem?”
Sandra took a deep breath… and didn’t stop talking for the next twenty minutes.
She complained about the loneliness, the lack of affection, the neglect, the poor communication, the romance that had completely disappeared, and every little thing Tom had done—or failed to do—over the past three decades.
Tom just sat there in silence.
When Sandra finally finished, the therapist slowly stood up, walked over to her, gently took her by the shoulders, and gave her a long, passionate kiss.
Sandra was left completely speechless.
Tom looked like he’d just seen a magic trick.
The therapist turned to Tom and said,
“Your wife needs that kind of affection at least three times a week.”
Tom scratched his head, thought for a moment, and nodded.
“Sure…”
“I can drop her off here every Monday and Wednesday…”
“…but Fridays are out.”
“That’s my fishing day.”
