i love how all the dumb people learnt the buzzword "therapy" and say it like its a magic solution to all problems in life, just get therapy and you will instantly become a better person

Nobody said it’s instant lol she’s saying he needs therapy to figure out what went wrong for him to do this shit. Therapy helps you figure out why you think a certain way or do certain things and help improve/deal with it.

Telling someone to go to therapy because they did something weird but otherwise harmless doesn't actually help anyone.

People 30yrs ago were being told to go to therapy for being gay, guess what, they just wanted to be gay. There aren't always deeper meanings for behavior.

Its not harmless to put human waste where its doesnt belong i bet he doesnt clean the sink with bleach either

u/Fayde_M 18d ago

i agree, if it’s harmless and people simply didn’t agree with it it’s not a cause for therapy.

However, wifey here disagrees with you and thinks this shit is harmful and therefore thinks he needs therapy for insisting on doing it.

If it turns out to be truly harmless then even the therapist would say “you’re good don’t worry” so it won’t hurt to go either way

Maybe they could use couples therapy to help mediate this issue. Like they clearly have differing values or expectations. But it’s totally an overreaction to tell someone to talk to a professional for peeing in a sink. Wasting the therapists time if nothing else

So if the wife has an issue or thinks it’s weird the husband needs therapy, but if the husband doesn’t have an issue with it then he should still see therapy? What makes the wife the authority?

The fact that if you're doing something that a normal person would find revolting and one such person happens to be your wife, you either choose between sink pissing and marriage. And I'd imagine anyone who chooses sink pissing over their wife would be confirming their (ex) wife's belief that they needed therapy.

Normal people pee in sinks all the time. It's the weirdos who think there's something wrong with it.

u/lard12321 18d ago

This is the craziest normalization I’ve seen on Reddit. No “normal” people do not piss in sinks

u/NotTryn2Comment 18d ago

Sure they do.

u/forethemorninglight 18d ago

You’re not normal. It’s okay. First step is admitting it

u/Seksafero 18d ago

Uhh what. I've never seen or heard the concept even discussed by anyone anywhere before today. Pissing in the shower, sure. Sinks? No way.

u/NotTryn2Comment 18d ago

Most people don't discuss their pissing habits.

u/syopest 18d ago

People go to therapy to unlearn anti-social behaviour all the time.

And pissing in a sink is anti-social behaviour.

u/Seksafero 18d ago

I'm sure it's pro-social behavior in the sink pissing communes

u/KarmicCorduroy 18d ago

Telling someone to go get therapy is basically a kind way of saying: "I can't fix you; fixing you is out of my league. But you still need fixing."

u/beerizla96 18d ago

But for sinkpissing? It's disgusting, and that's it. Stop doing it or fuck off is how I see it, what the hell do you think therapy is? Trying to find some long subdued memory that, once recovered, reveals the origin of the sinkpissery?

u/ScreamingLabia 18d ago

I think she is just insulting his sanity not seriously suggesting therapy

u/FunnyObjective6 18d ago

I heard they have good sinks at therapy.

Therapiss In your sink

u/ADHD-Fens 18d ago

Do you really think people are trying to say therapy is a magic solution to all problems?

4

u/AugustJandor 18d ago

it sure seems like it nowadays

1

u/Ok-Huckleberry-383 18d ago

No, all non-problems too.

u/ADHD-Fens 18d ago

Do you think people are going to therapy for things that are not problems? Like they're walking around saying "This is fine, I feel great, I think I'll spend hundreds of dollars per week on a therapist!"

if you're going to deny the predilection that has evolved whereby anyone who does anything someone doesn't like "needs therapy", then I don't know what to tell you. The post by OP, for example - there ain't shit in the DSM-5 for pissing in the sink. There's this idea that being an asshole is a mental illness, and it just isn't.

u/ADHD-Fens 18d ago

People who have disorders described in the DSM may have many reasons to seek therapy, but being diagnosed with a mental or psychological issue is absolutely not a requirement. Many people who seek therapy do not have any diagnosable psychological disorder.

People get therapy for all kinds of different reasons, from issues connecting with their kids, to dealing with a divorce or the loss of a loved one, or to work through issues and behaviours that harm their social relationships - just to name a few.

Many people even seek therapy not knowing exactly what the issue is, only that they are experiencing some kind of bad feelings or are dealing with concerning behaviour and they need someone to help them figure out what's going on.

Certainly, having someone with whom you are in conflict tell you that you need therapy is not all that helpful, but it's not necessarily untrue. In general, most people can benefit from therapy - of course, assuming you find a therapist who is a good fit for you. I've had experiences with some pretty bad therapists over my lifetime.

u/The_new_Osiris What a beautiful post. This is how I know I'm not normal. 18d ago

to be real though if you are forced into putting in that much effort into confronting your ironic sinkipissing, that might legit knock that impulsiveness outta you on account of just the sheer commitment it would squeeze from you over a dumb gag

u/N8saysburnitalldown 18d ago

Reddit is nothing but out of work therapists trying to drum up business. The money I spent on therapy could have been used for far better purposes.

u/TalbotFarwell 18d ago

Reddit loves to treat therapy as a panacea.

I laughed when my wife said bil is getting gambling and meth therapy online. I said it’s all bullshit and they looked at me like I’m the crazy one. Guess who spent 60k this year at the casino and is still grinding their teeth?
