“Yes,” replied the husband.
The marriage counselor shook his head and said,
“being the head of the family doesn’t really guarantee a man to just sit around and watch his wife overwork herself. It’s not fair, women need a helping hand in everything they do. A husband who helps his wife even with the little things she do makes him more attractive to her than you can ever imagine. So I think it’s not necessarily true that your wife is cheating on you, it’s just that the work schedule which she has described just now is the one which is affecting her.”
The husband asked confused, “so what’s your suggestion?”
“I suggest you try to help her out as much as you can or not, just hire a housemaid.”
After careful thought, the husband replied, “I don’t think hiring a housemaid is a good idea. We could do a lot of things with the money we can pay for her. I’ll settle for the first option. I can be taking care of the kids while she takes care of the house.”
“That’s great.”
Nearly two weeks later, the couple was back to the marriage counselor complaining of the same problem.
“But I thought we talked about this already last time?” he asked.
“Then how come you still can’t perform in bed? Is the work still too much for you?”
“No, absolutely not.”
“Then what’s your problem”
“Oh, I am not the problem this time. It’s now my husband who is always tired.”
