Julia has been struggling with her husband’s anger issues so her friend advised her to consult a counsellor.

10 A.M, Counsellor’s office

Counsellor : Never respond to anger with anger. Julia : I don’t. I take a deep breath, meditate, bring people for backup and then face the bugger with my battalion.

Counsellor : Getting angry with an already angry spouse will simply feed their rage and make matters worse. Julia : Yes I understand, shitting in a shithole will make shit shittier.

Counsellor : As Gandhi said, ‘An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.’ Julia : I’m with you on that, ‘A lip for another lip will make two people kiss.’ I would love kissing my neighbour’s rosy plump lips.

<<Counsellor wonders if she heard the sentence correctly.>>

Counsellor : So, instead of ‘giving it back’, try to maintain composure and give them some space to collect themselves. Julia : Understood. Stay calm and give him time so that he can kiss me. I have been very patient with him.

<<Counsellor looks puzzled.>>

Counsellor : I am aware that it is simpler said than done. Julia : Yeah, I have been hitting on him for a while but he is not that easy.

Counsellor’s thoughts : “???????? Did she mean hitting on her husband or actually hitting her husband ?”

Counsellor : Although your spouse’s irate statements may be upsetting, try not to lose it. Julia (In a nonchalant voice) : Losing it ? Of course not, that loser would lose a leg or two before I lose anything.

Counsellor : To relax, count to ten or take a few deep breaths. Julia (Starts counting immediately) : 1, 2, 3, 4… but I am already calm. I would rather use my deep breaths somewhere else.

<<Counsellor is trying to keep her composure.>>

Counsellor : If you can practice this for a month, you will be astounded by the behavioural improvements your spouse can undergo. Julia : Counting ? I don’t need practice. I studied kindergarten twice so I am pretty strong in A, B, C, D and 1,2,3,4.

Counsellor : I am talking about the husband’s anger issues ! Julia : Duh ! We are talking about my husband. Why would we talk about your husband ?

Counsellor’s thoughts : “Oh God, who sent this lady here ?” She is trying to be professional.

Counsellor : When your partner resorts to name-calling, calmly remind them that it is not acceptable. Julia : Yeah, my idiotic husband did the same when I called my neighbour’s name last night instead of his.

Counsellor : Did you just say, you mentioned your neighbour’s name while being intimate with your husband ? Julia : Of course, he is hot, what’s wrong with that ?

Counsellor : Julia, there is an obsession here and that’s causing problems in the relationship. Julia : You bitch ! So you are the one flirting with my neighbour and ruining my love life. See, what I am gonna do !

<<Counsellor bangs her head against the wall.>>
