When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie first fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith I was skeptical on how long their relationship would last. Pitt had an affair with Jolie, after all, and the statistics of rebound relationships having longevity are very slim. But, as the years passed, the couple seemed to have a strong united front and were dubbed as Hollywood’s “Golden Couple”. Jolie would boast about what an amazing father Pitt was. And Pitt had a sparkle in his eye every time he mentioned Jolie.   So, when I found out that Jolie filed for...

Dr. Eris, Why can’t I let go of my dad cheating on my mom after so many years?  Am I making excuses for my past bad behavior? I’m smart about why my relationships don’t work???? Sometimes I am lazy about not wanting to do the work it takes to hold the relationship together. And I have trust issues. I usually sabotage situations because I don’t deal with rejection well. I always think relationships should be easy, and not so much work. I currently have been sabotaging all of my relationships. I was in a very unhappy marriage for 13 years. I was the cheater in the marriage–separated now 3 years. The hubby was a workaholic...

Even though many relationships end up in break-ups or divorce, that doesn’t mean that yours has to. There are many relationships that last 30, 40, and even 50+ years. I have worked with many clients who were separated or on the brink of getting divorced who succeeded at turning things around. Even I have gotten to the point with Clayton where I thought that it was time for things to end. However, before I did that I wanted to “walk my talk” and use the tools that have helped so many of my clients. And it worked! The good news is that if it worked for...

Dr. Eris, I’ve been watching you on LA Shrinks and saw you on Nancy Grace talking about the Jodi Arias Trial. Both of these shows have been bringing up a lot of emotions for me. I’ve been in an on again off again relationship with my boyfriend for three years. The problem is that I am totally in love with him but the relationship is toxic. We fight all of the time. He calls me names and has sex with other women. Every time I feel like I am ready to leave the relationship he sucks me back in by telling...

Dr. Eris,  I get sex once a month if I am lucky and will be married a year in July. My husband wants to divorce me because he thinks I lied about how much I owed on my student loans, which at the time I told him the amount that I believed it to be, and I wasn’t far off. He keeps on insisting that I am lying. Our marriage has been declining each month ever since we got married. I even think he cheated because of a certain situation that is hard to deny with evidence of a missing condom from...

Dr. Eris, My husband and I have been married nearly 5 years. He was in the military and suffers from severe PTSD. We would argue constantly and he has moved out several times over the last 5 years.  The last time he moved out, I began seeing my ex. At the time I was seeing the ex, my husband had filed for divorce and was downright nasty to me. In my mind, we were separated, going through a divorce process that I did not initiate, therefore I felt justified in my decision to pursue my ex.  Fast forwarding several months, I’d broken things...
