“They told a woman who was struggling with being resentful toward an emotionally unfaithful husband to let go of her resentment and pretend she’s in love with him. No mention of having a heart to heart with him about how she’s really been feeling or seeking help through a professional marriage therapist. They places all the blame on her for the way she feels, and made it sound like it’s entirely on her to stop feeling that way. They did recommend spiritual direction, which I have to give them credit for. But honestly that advice perpetuates the mistake in catholic circles of treating spiritual direction like therapy. But even with that aside, they essentially told this woman to surprise her feelings and put on a brave face. That’s not a recipe for a healthy marriage. Severely disappointed that this advice came from women who claim to be catholic. I have no idea why anyone is asking for their advice on such intimate and personal matters.”
