Courtney Cox In Therapy

[michelle]

Not me, I rarely bite my tongue with dh. I don't just mouth off, but I always speak my mind. A LOT of it has to do with tone and attitude, so I try to pay attention to that. But I think he and I will make it, it will be 11 years next month!

Well I dont bit it much, I have a "mouth" thats what dh says anyways, lol. I try to bit it though.

Well, I read the post because Coutney went to college with a relative of mine and the same relative went to her wedding. So I sorta, kinda keep up when I see something about her.
I have been married to the same man for 36 years. We have never seen a therapist. We have had more than 2 fights
We have always been too busy bringing up our family and working to make it to a therapist. Our children, who never have been in any trouble whatsoever, are now all educated and gainfully employed. Our house will be paid for at the end of the year. so things have slowed way down. I guess we could find a therapist now. But what would I say? We got married, kept to our vows, went thru sickness and poorer and a whole bunch of other badbad stuff but we kept showing up each and everyday and now here we are. A therapist isn't going to be able to tell you a thing you don't already know inside of yourself. It's the actually doing of all that stuff that is the hard part. but it is doable. Faith helps.

Yeah good onya muffinrose!

When I clicked on the thread, I wasn't to know she was in therapy for nothing more serious than having a tiff with hubby.

I haven't said I am against it.
What I have said was it is ridiculous to go into therapy for having a coupla fights with your loved one...

I keep on posting, because you keep on asking me questions!
Would be rude of me not to try and answer them for you wouldn't it

Narla, you are hanging in there. Just like our two kittens.

When the story said "fight with husband" it didn't really say about what, or how long, or how intense. Could have been a huge overreaction to something minor he did. Could have been she said things completely out of line, or reacted to things he said in the same way.

There's nothing wrong with going to a therapist, I just think it's like going to the pharmacist. You need help, you get it. No need to make an announcement.

But then, I think most celebrity news is up there with Texas weather--same old, same old, no need to take up space. :laugh: I admit I read it, though.

Muffinrose, congrats on the 36 years. 20+ here, but we did see a therapist around year 8. A good one is priceless. We are the kind of people that can't even order a pizza without different opinions. And that includes the cats.

:blowkiss:

There's nothing worse than having a fight, not resolving it, "pretending it didn't happen", but it is simmering under the surface and sure enough it rears its ugly head again because it was never resolved.

A couple can go to therapy whenever they feel like it, and it can be helpful to resolve issues; there may be alot more under the surface than what she said in the article - more than a couple of fights - , but on the other hand why would someone want to announce it to People magazine?

I guess their life has been so boringly perfect up to now - she wants a little publicity, you know like her friend Jennifer who's on the cover of every magazine after her separation and divorce.

I think that people should get regular checkups with their dentist and their doctor. Then they should go down the block to their friendly neighborhood therapist for a mental health checkup, imo. Of course people aren't generally proactive about their mental health, so if they're not, I think they should at least recognize when they need to talk to a trained professional.

I have a psychologist I consult once in awhile, and I have never gone to her and thought it was a waste of time or money - there is always a "lightbulb" moment. I have learned a lot about myself, my marriage, my family of origin, and my various relationships from speaking with the very excellent lady.

Time and money well spent.....and I'm worth it!

Thank you for giving us all $10,000 worth of therapy. Nice post!

well bear in mind that first it was jennifer aniston and pitt-then matt lablance and his wife..and that there is a significant age difference between courtney and david (she has spoken of it), and they could be nervous.

They have a child and I think they are really trying to make sure it works-god- give them credit if anything.

 

[dingo]

I have little time for all these so called actors with plenty of money.
They need time in the real world.

My DH likes the silent treatment because then he says he does not have to hear my mouth!

 

[HeartofTexas]

Newtv: and that there is a significant age difference between courtney and david (she has spoken of it), and they could be nervous.

Also, we shouldn't forget that David had a major drug problem that he kicked prior to the marriage... and I think any time you have that in the background, there can be problem areas (other addictions, intimacy issues, communication issues, etc.). JMHO.

I will never understand why celebrities want to put all their business in front of the world and then throw a hissy about how their privacy is being invaded. If I was Katie Holmes mother for instance, I would tell her to get a room instead of standing in front of the world with Tom Cruise's tongue down her throat.

I did not mention in my previous post but I will say it now.....yes, the house will be paid for at the end of the year after decades of mortgage.....but Katrina got the house. But my family is all alive and we rise to face another day, each day. Faith helps here too.

 

[nanandjim]

Courtney sounds mature and like she really wants her marriage to work. Wasn't Reece Witherspoon and her husband in therapy for a long time? That's another young lady that seems to have her priorities in order.
