    Not the person you responded to, but I’m someone who thinks a therapist would be helpful or life enhancing for many people. Pretty much half the people I know are or have been in therapy (and I say half because that’s about the number who have mentioned it to me).

    Re the person in the OP, I would imagine that there’s something psychological causing (ETA: or exacerbating) his issues. He’s 30 and has never been kissed, cried uncontrollably at the platonic touch of a friend’s wife, and seems to be in crisis over the incident and the fact that his 22 year old friend has a happy marriage. If it’s not something that could be worked in in therapy, what do you think would help him otherwise?
