All Comments on 'February Sucks in Counseling'

Brilliant. I really thought this would be a pile of psychobabble, but this was smart, thoughtful and practical, doing as much to balance the scales as practicably could be done, and set a reasonable path forward in a completely ridiculous situation. Great monologue from the therapist to conclude. Nailed it.

Well played. Well played. Nough said.

Someone pretending to understand counseling and human behavior writing a story about same. It's preposterous

Nicely done.

I very much enjoyed this. Thank you.

I encourage you to write more. Please.

Be well!

LOL I feel for the poor men in FS that decided to live the rest of their lives with what Marc was done with.

As bad as anything I’ve ever seen on this site, when it comes to stupidity about therapy and couples counseling.

So, we have a really terrible, and I mean unethical therapist. The idiot should lose his license. And be sued for malpractice. He’s clearly not working in his client’s best interests. He starts to make a breakthrough in Linda’s insight into her own motivations, and then tables it! Like it doesn’t matter! And he just goes on to pick at Jim’s emotional scabs. Then he starts making really hateful negative comments about Linda, and declares the counseling a waste of time!!!

I doubt you could even get therapy this bad from a random lay-person. I really dislike this author’s ‘writing’.

Good read but not how counseling works. The counselor woukd lose their license quickly.

Oh gee, cucks story favorite boy ruttweiler did not like it! What is heaven are we supposed to do? Maybe get endless handwringing, halting ineffective communications and high wuss factor male character like we always get from the supposed master GA himself. The world is truly ending as the cuck brigade strikes again.

As someone who has experienced several counsellors in my decades on Planet Earth, I found the story quite realistic. Not all counsellers operate like this but I can think of a couple who certainly do. One was a total bitch, however, and I refused to go back. 5 stars.

Although counciling can have many positive affects on people, sometimes it fails to achieve the desired results. In this case, given the evidence, I don't see a Judge requiring counciling. This was a waste. Fortunately it was short.

Who gives a shit

Premise is unlikely for the counselor. Poof goes his license. For the story theme, one word: Yeah! The fictional wife would have a long time of reflection after this unless she was psychotic. Would she learn from it? And what would happen to the children? But I enjoyed this vignette based on the original story.

Nice work. One of th best FS spin offs. 5 stars

Short, sweet, and good

This is a nice ending to the original, with the beginning of this piece particularly apt for the end of the other.

Linda is a very arrogant woman,who doesn't think her shit stinks

this type of story should be in the non-erotic category

This started downhill almost immediately when you alluded to Jim not filing for a divorce after "a couple of years". In that toxic evironment why would he wait that long? You almost immediately show Linda to be an egotistical, delusional and self-centered woman when she doesn't realize or own up to the fact that she made a mess of her own marriage and STILL has no self realization a "couple of years" later. The rest was filler for a poor job writing.

Except for the implied timing one of the better endings to GA's gut-wrenching masterpiece.

Good ending. Please keep writing and ignore the annony trolls

Veeerrryy realistic. Well done. 5 stars.

Nicely done. 5 stars! This Linda never advanced whatsoever from the original Linda when she first came home.

I reread this story again and changed my rating to a 5. Again thanks for sharing.

Sometimes it's hard to get past destructive behavior!

5

Wow, a therapist that isn't just a mouthpeace for the cheater. How refreshing. And Jim gets his happily ever after instead of idiotically mooing like a spinless worm that he's "in love with his wife". THANK YOU and an easy 5 stars. Would have been 10 stars if you added an epilogue of a lonely future Linda, who sabotaged her life.

Your story went over well troden ground even though the PoV was somewhat unique, I still found it both derivative and repetitive. Good news I suppose that I'm in the minority so don't worry about it

Great take. In my case it was her boss.

Overall a decent story and the idea of writing from the couselor's POV.

But the whole idea of Marc actually continuing to try and pursue Linda for a relationship and to "provide a better life for her and her children was way over the top absurd and contradictory to Marc's whole schtick of picking up women and taking them away from their husbands. One night in bed and Marc falls in love with Linda?? I don't think so, but maybe you needed that to feed Linda's massive ego.

@BlueEyd2

It is not in line with Marc's character to fall for a woman and want to pursue it, granted. But the major part of his psyche is humiliating the husband and tainting, if not destroying the relationship.

So it's more than plausible that Marc, seeing how good they were as a couple... "the best of us"... he would continue his efforts to compromise Linda and cause Jim to divorce her,.. to THEN unceremoniously dump her.

It wouldn't take much work. No commitment. He'd get more free fucks out of a married woman, get more sadistic joy from hurting Jim, and there's nothing to say he still wouldn't be out on the prowl. There's also nothing to say that he hasn't kept up his disruptive campaign with others before.

All of that does fit his character to a 'T'.

Excellent, down to earth and soooo believable!

About time a marriage counselor is shown as something other than a tool for cheating wives to force husbands to roll over and accept cuckoldry or get their clock cleaned in a divorce.

Outstanding story, and one of the best of the hundred sequels. You nailed the narcissistic Linda for exactly what she was. An entitled, needy bitch who loved no one but herself. People who think that I do nasty comments should read Rottenweiler’s comments. At least I like about 40% of the stories I read. Rottenweiler hates everything and everyone.

Another bad take on a bad story

That was the kind of story that I was looking for and hoping for because it was needed. To see how big of a cunt Linda is just proves that Jim is correct to get as far away as possible. She thinks she is superior because she fucked a football player which only makes her a cheating whore and one of many that this guy has fucked and dumped after destroying another marriage. If she is proud of this fact then she is an emotionally fucked up skank that needs to grow up and stop thinking with her pussy and her ego. Five stars +

Good to see a marriage counsellor with some sense. If someone did what Linda did, says there was no reason for it and refuses to take any responsibility the only path left open is divorce no matter how much you may want to reconcile. The counselors that take Linda’s side in some of the versions are just as crazy as she is.
