I frequently see postings for www.bitterlawyer.com. Some accent the paternalistic environment of the legal field. Others describe in exquisite detail the plight of aassociates and partners. The postings exemplify the type of problems I hear in my office. While I hadn't heard that hookers also like attorneys as clients, I did find the article intriguing since it does highlight the difficulties attorneys have with relationships. Hookers appreciate attorneys because they value time, money and are action oriented. They enjoy helping attorneys relieve stress. And they appreciate the irony of negative stereotyping of lawyers as whores. Fortunately, I think that the worst that we in the mental health profession have been called were paid friends. (Unless we do forensic work, then we are the "whores of the courts.")
Especially in this economy, attorneys are working harder than ever to build and maintain their practices. Little time is left over for intimate relationships - emotional or sexual!
So how do you manage to keep a relationship vibrant? What did you do that helps your spouse, partner, significant other, or what ever p.c. term you want to use stay connected to you? Or are you just too tired to think about relationships? If you still feel lonely when you spend time with your loved one, then you might want to take action - quickly! Divorced attorneys abound!
