cutbacks and harsh realities....

J: my counsellor and I are having a trial separation
M: oh yes?
J: yes I told her it was too much of a committment for me to keep seeing her every week
M: and what did she say?
J: she said we could cut it down to once a month!
M: you're kidding!
J: No - she said that since I've never been any good at endings we should just reduce our meetings
M: you sure it's you that's not good at endings?!
J: I thought it was a bit harsh and judgmental of her actually - I was quite surprised that she didn't add 'oh and with your emotional problems you'll never get a proper boyfriend either!'
M: she was probably thinking it!
