So someone wrote in and among other
things
she said, "My husband is a psychopath."
I'm Paul Friedman, I founded The Marriage
Foundation. You could write in too -- it's a
free service, write to our counselors
but I really want to talk about this
with you.
If your husband is truly a psychopath
you know what that means
because that's such a heavy thing to say.
It's like saying, "My husband is a
pedophile."
It's at that level. A psychopath has
no bearings when it comes to morality.
They can kill
somebody and not think twice. Is that
your husband,
really? Is it your husband who can
literally kill another human being?
Because that's part of being a
psychopath,
they don't care and it's pretty rare.
I mean the label unfortunately is used
all the time.
It shouldn't be used all the time.
There's sociopaths too but even that
there's a lot more sociopaths in
psychopaths but psychopaths
are like rare.
So if your husband really is a
psychopath I mean clinically,
get the heck out of there. What are you
doing even discussing this with
anybody? You should be out of there
because you don't know when he might
kill you or your children,
that's what psychopaths do.
So if he's not a psychopath,
why would you use such an extreme
label for him? Did you go to a therapist
and they told you, your husband's a
psychopath? They do that all the time, I
can't stand it.
Labeling people without even giving them
tests and you know a therapist that's
their job.
They're supposed to test. They're
supposed to put a label
on problems with the mind.
And oftentimes, their job is to help that
person
evolve out of that but they don't. That's
not what has
happened now. So
don't call your husband a psychopath
unless he is and if he
is, be sure that it can be backed up
clinically
and get out of there because you have no
business living with a psychopath. But if
you're just mad at him and you're
calling him a psychopath,
please let's get down to the chase
so we can help you with your marriage.
Because if you want to stay married to
your husband
if you do, probably he's not a psychopath
or you would be one.
So if you really want to be married to
your husband,
let's lose the labels. Let's understand
him.
Let's understand you. Let's get maritally
educated because the more you learn
about marriage the happier you can be
because you could
learn and then apply what you learned to
your relationship
and you could build upon the foundation
of love
that got you together in the first place.
And don't tell me it wasn't love
because once you get married, you promise
love. You value your love.

this channel.
Learn and let's get away from this
psychopath
business one way or another. All right.
Blessings to you! Blessings to your
husband! If he is a psychopath
get away. If he's not a psychopath,
learn about marriage. God bless and take
care!
