Hi FairyBug,

I called Soul Talk at 2525-6644 and spoke to Andrea when I was at a low point in my life. It was helpful to talk to Andrea and she gave me some good referrals that helped me to move forward.

Call Community Advice Bureau to ask for a referral for a marraige counselor/therapist and for any information about living in HK.

Their number is: 2815-5444, M-F, 9:30-5.

I am seeing someone at St. John's. Not for relationship counselling though. There's lots of counsellors to suit all needs and personalities.

hope you are feeling ok! the early days after the baby are REALLY tough not matter WHAT state your relationship is in. Even if your relationship were perfect you will still argue so take it easy and get lots of rest and enjoy your baby. Your hormones are probably everywhere and the sleep deprivation will probably make you cry. So honestly now is not the best time to try to work it out in your relationship... take it easy and go day by day. Once you feel more human, then start working on the relationship.

thanks, thats really good advise.

its so hard to stop thinking about all this. baby is almost 2 weeks old now and im up all night feeding. my husband and i have seperated and we're getting individual councelling to look at what went wrong. everytime i chat to him i feel as though it was all my fault, that i made him have an affair by not being intimate enough or even shaving my legs enough blah blah blah.

im left at home on my wown raising 2 kids while he is trying to figure out what he wants in life. he tells me that he evntually wants us all to be a family again. how do you forgive someone who does this to you when your pregnant and then wants to find himself when we just had a baby?

am i being stupid being this patient? can you really have a good marriage when your partner has slept with another woman?

This is heartbreaking stuff. Please, Fairybug, take time to look after yourself and your kids, at the same time please do not close the door to your marriage.


From what you have posted, your husband does not sound to me like a monster. Nobody is perfect, everyone one of us makes mistakes. If he accepts that he made a mistake, that is a good step forward, in my opinion.


If you are a long way from family, and friends and other support, things can seem to be a lot worse and more difficult than they might be if you had sympathetic people around.


I really hope you can put your lives back together, if that is the best thing for you.

I was in a relationship once that was on the rocks. My girlfriend at the time asked me to go to counseling with her. I reluctantly agreed. The entire time we were in the counseling session, all she did was complain and I never got to say a word. After 3 sessions, I knew then that our relationship was over. I'm so glad that I dumped that bitch! If you are a woman wanting your man to go to counseling, don't make the same mistake that my ex girlfriend did.

One thing counselors know is that not every relationship can be fixed. And part of the counselling process is helping some come to terms with that fact.

Tigerbay,


Sadly, some marriage counsellors start from the premise that the relationship is broken from the start - and see their role as to help the couple accept this "fact".
