Bill, a 45 year old optometrist, has been struggling with the issue of marriage counseling for many years. The problem is that his wife says he has the problem; she won't come.
She doesn't know he's having an affair with a 32 year old woman who he can't get off his mind. He reports being obsessed like a lovesick kid and talks about her great body and the wild sex they have.
It seemed to me he was becoming a slave to this obsession; he was tormented. We systematically assessed whether this woman was worth it and he'd always conclude "No." But he couldn't get her out of his mind.
As a hunch I suggested he give Paxil a trial. Paxil is an anti-depressant which shows some success in loosening the grip of obsessions. He was skeptical but agreed to try it.
For the last 2 weeks he's reported "not caring" as much about this woman, and even though they are still in contact, he's feeling that her grip on him is loosening. Well it's a little early to tell but the latest reports are encouraging.
Will the relationship with his wife improve? What do you think?

I have been browsing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never found any interesting
article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you
did, the net will be much more useful than ever
before.

An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment.
There's no doubt that that you should publish more about this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but usually people don't speak about these
topics. To the next! Many thanks!!
