      Anyone knows a good marriage counsellor? Do they usually charge fees for their service or are they from some voluntary/government agency?


      Thanks.

        No payment required but may need to arrange for appointment as they also serve cases referred by other agencies or ministries. FSC provides them. There’s usually one within the neighborhood.


        If you’re looking for added spiritual counselling, approaching your faith group can offer some other alternatives as well.

          Hi treasure-oneself,


          Be Strong and Clear.

          Staying in an unhealthy marriage ‘for the sake of your children’ is not necessary the most healthy environment for them as well. They are young but are also human beings with feelings - they can sense if something is not right.

          First, you can try and see if your hubby wants to work things to become more amicable at home (councelling? see some details below). If not, decide for yourself if this is the best way of life for you and your children.

          People will usually advise against divorce but i personally think if the relationship and marriage is beyond hope, then this may be an option to consider.

          I have been through worse - his debts in my name, him being jobless for almost a year, not working and not helping with household chores (still expects me to do after i come home from work), etc. I am moving on - getting a divorce. My sob story is beyond words and i rather drop details.

          For every case that seems bad, there is always a worse case; so you need to be strong and clear in your mind on what you want out of your own life, my dear.

          May God bless you with a clear mind and direct you in the right direction.

          (Btw, i signed myself here to look for some phonics info for my son and i chanced upon this thread. So, be brave.)

          Hi kboon2009,

          Perhaps you can try AWARE:
          The AWARE Helpline is open Monday to Friday from 3pm to 9.30pm.

          Call 1800 774 5935 to speak to a Helpliner if you have a problem or want to find out more about our services.

          OR if you are a church goer, there are couselling for marriage as well.

            For all those mummies who have experienced cold wars from daddies, please show him below message :


            The Silent TreatmentA man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, He would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM.' He left it where he knew she would find it.
            The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM And he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and See why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
            The bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.'

            Men are not equipped for this kind of contest, so don't start, hahahahaha !! Have a nice day
