Matthew Tentler is a marriage and family therapist in Southern California. He specializes in treating in depression, post traumatic stress disorder, addiction and cultural, spiritual, and identity issues.

My role as a therapist is not about helping others. It is about giving guidance and focusing on self-empowerment to my clients so they can have the tools to assist themselves. Prior to private practice, I worked at treatment facilities for both substance abuse and eating disorders, worked with victims of crimes (domestic violence and sexual abuse), and a suicide hotline.

You don't even recognize the person sleeping next to you. You feel so desperate and alone. All you want is to feel the way you felt on your wedding day. You want to know that you have a partner by your side that you can actually rely on. It feels like you are so far away from where you really want to be that you just don't know what to do next. You can't remember the last time you had a real kiss. Not one of those pecks on the lips but a real kiss. Sex and intimacy feels so distant from you. It's so hard to feel like wanting to touch him let alone have sex.

Fuck! Is this as good as it gets? I know the “happily ever after” thing is a bit of a fairy tale, but I never imagined that in marrying the person of my dreams I would one day be dreaming for someone/something more. Sex has become an obligation… a transaction to keep the peace. The desire for passion is imprisoned in my dreams and fantasies… it is not present in my relationship from either of us. We could keep going like this, raise our kids, take vacations once a year… I’m sure things will be fine! But is it bad to say…I want more than FINE! I want fucking Fantastic! This was a chat I had with a client during a recent consult call.
