(#1) The Proper Sandwich Technique
From Redditor u/crusnic_zero
My cousin went to counseling because her husband cuts the sandwich straight inside of diagonal. When I first heard it, I thought it was a joke.

(#2) Cheesy Does It
From Redditor u/-Taverner_Raven

No lactose intolerance. He just stopped liking cheese

(#3) The Purple House
From Redditor u/random_girl_me
My specialty is children and families, but during the pandemic, I was assigned whatever came in because it has been super busy ...
One lady called and spoke with me first about how her husband was horrible at communication and never listened to her. She asked for a couple's session.
As soon as she ambushed her husband with a "there is a therapist on the line that wants to speak with you," her husband screamed:
"YOU CALLED A THERAPIST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAINT THE HOUSE PURPLE?"
She wanted me to convince him to paint the house purple, and like any normal human who sees colors, he refused to listen to her.

(#7) It's OK. He Moved The Table
From Redditor u/Hazeunix
Got a friend who does marriage counseling.
We were getting drink one night after a long week, and I noticed that he was hitting it a little too hard that evening. I asked him what was going on, and he pretty much told me this.
I spent the entire week with these two pod people. Not a single one of the pair expressed emotion during the counseling at all, and every session they just kept beating around the bush. I swear they were trying to f*ck with me. Finally, it's the end of the week and the last session of it.
"Thank you for your time, but there is no need to keep up the counseling now. He moved the table so it's paralell to the wall without me saying it."

(#8) Beggar, Meet Chooser
From Redditor u/faleboat
I was a life coach for a bit before I realized it was more administrative work than I wanted to do (I wanted to help people, not fight inner organizational political fights). During my brief time, one of my clients was really struggling with the color of dog that her husband got for her. She wanted a specific breed of dog since she was a kid and her husband did a bunch of research and got her one from a good line of the breed, but its coat was darker than the dog she imagined, and she was really struggling with it.
We had a few sessions about expectations clouding your happiness and it turns out the dog was the most explicit example of a much bigger issue she had in her life. But I had to seriously put my WTF on hold when she told me about the shade of her dog being a problem.

(#9) It's Always The Dishes
From Redditor u/monkeylion
It's always the dishes. I don't see couples anymore because I cannot have one more conversation with adult human beings about the various philosophies of dish washing.
-
(#10) The Family Business
From Redditor u/lonewanderer015
I think my favorite was a woman who married a man whose dad and brothers worked in a successful family business. Husband didn't work in the family business and didn't want to. Wife married him anyway, expecting him to be her meal ticket. Eleven years later, he still hasn't gone into the family business and she feels betrayed.

(#11) Family Holidays
From Redditor u/kcmullan
A lot of couples schedule counseling for legitimate reasons like “communication issues,” but then it will come out that the real reason is something stupid and they don’t even realize it.
I had a couple married 25 years who were struggling to connect and it turned out they were resentful of each other because they both wanted to spend various holidays with their families of origin. Never talked about it, never mentioned it, just both simmered in silent resentment for 25 years. It was resolved so quickly once it was unearthed.

(#12) Out Of The Frying Pan
From Redditor u/DangDog_crapper_god
My uncle and his wife, reasoning: She lost a frying pan.

(#13) That's Bananas
From Redditor u/Ope_MyBad
Bananas. ... Someone bought the wrong amount of bananas.
-
(#14) Mother-In-Law Visit
From Redditor u/StBlaschek
Not a counselor, but my friend is one, and a couple came to her (unofficially) because the wife wouldn't tell her hubby when her mum was coming over because she knew he'd be "sick" or "out" that day.
