Case 123
Less than a year ago I got married. I love my wife... but we have had problems, for when something upsets us and causes us to fight, I try to settle it so we won’t have to deal with it but rather will be able to have harmony in our home and sleep peacefully. My wife, on the other hand, clams up instead of talking out our disagreements, and that bothers me a lot. I [...]
Case 122
Five years ago I was going with a married man and we had a son. Four years later I met the man who is now my husband, and I love him with all my heart. He wants to adopt my son.... He says he wants us to be a family, and he wants to be my son’s only father, since the real father of my son doesn’t see him much.... I don’t know what to [...]
Case 121
Urgent My boyfriend has decided to marry me after several years of courtship.... He says that, now that we are engaged, he needs some time on his own to go a little crazy and do what he won’t be able to do once we are married. In other words, he wants to get drunk and have sex with several women. I was surprised by his request.... Even though he says that he loves me and [...]
Case 120
I saw a television commercial in which they offered a gold charm that was supposed to protect me from all bad things.... So I went to see a spiritual guide and told him that a fortuneteller had told me that I was born with bad luck.... The guide listened to me and suggested that I come back right away with three white candles. I wouldn’t do it. So the guide said, “Come back on Tuesday.” [...]
Case 119
I am a twenty‑one year old married woman. You could say that my marriage is perfect, but what happens is that every time my husband and I go out, I feel jealous of him seeing other young women my age. I am afraid that he will leave me. I have always been very jealous, even as a young child. I don’t know if it is a sickness. The truth is that it has affected my [...]
Case 118
I have been a prostitute for twenty years, thanks to my “mother.” She was a drug addict and my father was a drunk, and they sent me out to prostitute myself to support their habits.... My life is ruined, and the only thing I know is that I’m not worth anything.... I think the best thing I could do is kill myself so that I could stop this suffering that makes my life so bitter.... [...]
Case 117
I have always wanted the best for my family. I have worked (outside the home) even when I was pregnant. I have a good husband who is an excellent father, but I have always earned more money than he does and on occasion I have felt bad about that.... Lately he has worked part time taking care of the house and the children (we are in agreement about this), but I am afraid of making [...]
Case 116
I am twelve years old. I am studying the Bible, because the subject of the end of the world scares me and I think I have found some answers as I read it. But my relatives and friends tell me that I shouldn’t believe everything that is written in the Bible. They say that over time many people have manipulated the Bible, have taken out parts, and have put in other parts based on their [...]
Case 115
Four years ago I met a young woman and we were married shortly after that. The misunderstandings began, and she sporadically threatened to kill herself. She doesn’t have many relatives, and those she has act indifferent toward her, so I have always tried to understand her and accept her. But I have never understood why she acts this way. Now we have a two‑year‑old daughter, and the problem continues and I don’t know what to [...]
