You just don’t care about me!

She was desperate, she had tried and tried to get through to him. In the early days he did his best to comfort her, she liked the attention, but she knew deep down he didn’t really understand her.

As time passed she tried to get through to him, but his patience worn thin, no matter what he did she was miserable, rude and aggressive. He felt controlled, disrespected and untrusted. He tried to fix her problems, but she lacked respect for him and his efforts. He felt life with her was hopeless, he knew communication was fruitless so he stopped.

This worried her and so she became more upset, she said things she didn’t mean through frustration, she hoped he would wake up to her emotions. He didn’t, the more upset she became the more he retreated. Sometimes through frustration he would attack her verbally other times he would shut down and escape, sometimes physically, sometimes emotionally.

She couldn’t comprehend how he could not understand her, all she wanted was to be held and loved. He struggled so much with her outbursts, she was nasty, aggressive mean and lacked respect. He loved her, but he was struggling to cope so he questioned if he was in love with her.

He hoped this was just a phase that she would calm down and the love he craved would come back. So he waited keeping his head down working hard, at least that’s something he could be successful with.

She watched looking for signs that equalled he cared for her but he made no effort to understand her, she spent weeks crying alone, getting love from her children, family and friends.

She felt so detached from him, she could feel her heart closing and had days when she resented him so much she felt she was losing her love for him.

Both people wanted love, both people wanted to be happy, BUT their route to meeting those needs were so far removed from each other that they failed again and again.

Once this couple were shown how to really understand each others core needs they started to become successful. Connection, communication, understanding and love started to become easier.

They reconnected and became a team. They became invested in each others future which now looked exciting and fulfilling.

You see no matter how bad a marriage feels it’s totally possible to make sense of what feels bad and take action to fix the problems quickly.

All you need is desire and a will to learn.

I’m not going to ask you how you “feel", pay me to watch you argue, or try to find the person to blame.

I am looking to discover if the couple can become a team, overcome their problems together and create a dynamic that will create a loving and passionate life together.

My approach is to take you from where you are, to where you want to be… fast!

I can not recommend Stephen highly enough – he not only saved our marriage, but has improved my marriage and myself as a person.

A 30 minute call with Stephen

In a short phone conversation, Stephen was able to quickly get to the heart of what the real issue was in our marriage – and why in almost a year of working on our marriage including 10 weeks of marriage counselling through a relationship therapy organisation, we weren’t really making any progress. I found Stephen to be extremely perceptive, as well as empathetic to our situation, while being able to quickly pinpoint the real sticking point in our marriage.
Many thanks
Olivia

Dear Stephen
Thank you for your time to listen to my experience in my marriage. You gave me encouragement to speak out to my partner in confidence. You made me realise that sometimes the way we make comments on each other can aggravate the situation and make it worse. Your advice made me feel revived.

Kind regards

Chipo
