This couple had been in my office for almost two hours. I only allowed an hour of counseling, but they weren’t going anywhere.
They had started this business almost a year ago, and things were going differently than planned.

They were still losing money each month and were closer to him returning to a job than anything else.
At one point during our meeting, he burst into tears and stormed out of the office.
She said he’d be back in a minute. “Happens all the time.”
