His clients get so lonely that they make a move on him. And it's not just the women.
Mr John Vasavan deals with warring couples and unfaithful spouses. His job is to help salvage marriages which are on the rocks.
And he knows a thing or two about why spouses stray, and what to do to avoid being trapped in an illicit affair.
Says the 52-year-old, who has worked as a marriage counsellor for the past two decades: "Sometimes, they stalk us through e-mail, asking to meet up, asking us to come over to their place..."
Happily married for about 20 years himself, he is very cautious about clients who get "touchy" during counselling sessions.
In such cases, he usually makes sure they are properly attired before offering a comforting pat on the back.
He explains: "Some women come for counselling scantily clad. So I make sure to pass them a blanket or jacket before any physical contact happens.
"I also always sit facing the door or window, so that people can see us. You must learn to protect yourself, you know," says the father of three, aged 15 to 19.
Before setting up his own practice a decade ago, Mr Vasavan enrolled for counselling courses and took on cases as a volunteer at the Singapore Planned Parenthood Association.
He went on to pursue a Masters in Counselling at the University of South Australia.
After 20 years of helping couples through tough times, he declares that the number one reason for marriages running into problems is not enough talk.
Wives, for instance, can get so caught up with their kids, they stop communicating properly with their husbands.
And when the children grow up and the women want to reconnect, it may be too late - the husband has already become engrossed in other activities.
But the question remains: Why do people cheat on their spouses?

Signs of a cheating spouse, according to divorce lawyer Datuk Mohd Zaidi Zain: Sex and intimacy is an important part of a relationship. A noticeable change or loss of interest in this area points to a problem in your relationship. (Photo:TNP)
all wrong. at the end of the day, it all comes down to lack of respect and self-control. if you have both, you will definitely have ways to fix the problems, initially by having heart to heart talk with each other, like unsatisfactoriness of sex. if not, no way to get out of it. sadly, there are people who enjoy the thrill of committing adultery.
Life is surreal.
What they expect in a relationship ? Man... sure, blame it on the moolah and lack of sex. lol.
Some men stray because of excessive nagging and accusation from wives.
Some women stray because men have attitude problem and refuse to contribute.

yes. that's why i talked about respect and self control. excessive nagging and accusation are basically lacking respect and losing self-control behaviors.
every men would want to marry a supportive and understanding wife and likewise for girls.

Precisely.

not 100% correct imo.
i'm guilty of being a very highly sexual man with a past. my modest gf's libido is not close to my level but we always talked it out and tried the best way that both of us can be satisfied. if u just look for sex, marry a prostitute or a slut, but u will get bored in the end anyway. marry a modest loving girl, love her, treat her right, when she opens up, you'll be surprised.
If human beings had respect and self control, there would be no wars and no crime.
We would be Tinky Winky, La La, Dipsy and Po.

Lol qft. just wanted to point out the basic reasons behind all.
if it's some years back, i'd avoid or lol at this kind of topic as i was so against committed rs. why would a man of several options have to commit to one girl? that's my question the old days.
now that i learned my lesson hard way, i met my current gf, i changed for the better, i can talk good and bad lol.

People who can't stay loyal and want to try something new any day better refrain from getting into marriage so don't hurt the other person. No wonder why I'm losing trust in guys in this day and age.

The truth is girls/women will use these stupid guys/men for Free Food, Free Transport and Free anything but at the end of the day , the same girl/woman will go and spend her money and provide sex to a man, who behave like a man.
