You could tell her, you have no use for a counselor or therapist. But you would be glad to pay for her sessions with a fully licensed MD Psychiatrist, to help her with HER issues.
Your insurance will likely pay for a Psychiatrist. The Dr. might even invite you to attend a couple sessions and let you know what is wrong with HER. You mean other than being a typical emotional female? I wasn't there to solve any problems other than to perpetuate the horizontal entertainment. Ultimately, she calmed down and it went on for a few months until it didn't. Changing women is simply changing one type of crazy for another. You just hope to find one version of crazy you can put up with for a while. It's not easy; especially during the damn pandemic. IMO, Wife is helpmate, mother of my children, permanent partner in life, and most importantly Best Friend. I have no issues with helping my best friend through some problems should she experience such. If one's definition of wife is house cleaner, cook and cum dumpster, I suppose that would be easy to replace. Speaking in reference to your friend and his wife issues, of course.

2nd wife went off the rails about 9 months into the marriage. Did a complete 180. After about 6 months of that BS, I insisted we see a marriage counsellor. She went with me twice. First visit was for the counsellor to get to know us. By the second visit, the counsellor was calling her on her chitt. She refused to go after that.
We did that 2 or 3 times, her always quitting after the counsellor started calling her on her chitt. I went to a few counsellors on my own and was always told the same thing - you can’t fix a marriage with only one person trying.
She finally insisted I see a psychiatrist for anger management. Did the whole battery of tests and she got to fill out questionnaires. She even sent me to the psych with a letter with instructions for him to read it but not me. He read it, didn’t tell me what was in it.
When he was done all the tests, he sat me down, looked me in the eye and said “You don’t have an anger management problem. You have a marital problem!”
I left her about 6 months after that. Will never waste my time with marriage counselling again.

A friend recently described a successful marriage as the consistent lowering of expectations.

The farm is 48 miles from the house. I try to spend as much time there as I can. It's cheaper than a divorce.

There is a cross-stitch, "Retirement, half as much money, twice as much husband." Pretty sure Flave has that one hanging in his scrapbooking room.

Damn, apparently good women are fairly uncommon? I knew I was a lucky man, but damn. Or maybe a lot of men are high maintenance drama queens....

I had lunch today with a retired doctor friend of mine. We covered the usual “the medical system is screwed beyond repair, Biden sucks, and the Covid response has been a train wreck” topics. Then he looks all serous and said “I’ve got some troubling news”. I thought, great another friend with cancer.
Thankfully he said, “The wife wants me to see her analyst with her”. Apparently the combination of retirement and the pandemic is creating too much “together time”.
He asked how my experience with an analysts went as years ago I dated his wife’s sister for a short while. (Probably why his wife still hates me to this day.) I said Yep and this is how all that went down:
The girlfriend, who I had only been seeing for a few weeks, says - Let’s go see my analyst together. I said, Nope it won’t work out like you envision. She said we are going. I said it won’t work out like you envision.
So a few days later there we sit in front of her “analyst” who’s asking all the usual questions about feelings, conflict resolution, and coping mechanisms. I explained that my coping mechanism is sudden and complete hearing loss followed by acute alcohol abuse. But I digress.
About this time I’d had enough of the small talk and I look to the headdoc and said - So you sit here all day long listening to problems and offering advice. Doc responds Yes. I said, So with all that knowledge, how’s that working in your marriage. He responds something about it’s a process and requires a lot of work and patience. To whit I said, So largely the advice you hand out doesn’t really solve relationship problems and all this is sorta bullshite. He shrugged and went back to the - it’s a process mantra. So I turned to the girlfriend and said, see I told you this wouldn’t work out like you envisioned.
At which point the tears start and she storms out calling me a colossal dick and some other unintelligible babble. I looked to the doc and said, It generally takes about a month before they come to that conclusion.
Suddenly my friend got all happy and said that’s perfect, I’ll do that. I then asked if he has a prenup and he said no, he and his wife married before he was successful and there wasn’t a need. I told my friend he was unfortunately well and truly screwed. He ordered another scotch and looked even more depressed.
Women... Bull***t. Nobody dates for a few weeks and then goes to see a counselor. Also I have never heard a counselor or psychologist called an "analyst".

In the world of analysts (whatever the snarf that is), counselors, and therapy, all men are perpetrators, all women are victims. The outcome is predetermined, and it's no use even showing up and suffering the abuse........

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively... Having said that, MAGA.
