You have 2 couples in your clinic who asked you for mediating their conflicts regarding this situation:

Couple 1:" We were waiting for you at the choir side of the church but you weren't there so we left" We've called your cell phones 4 times but you were not answering'

Couple 2: " We were waiting for you guys in front of the church but after 40 minutes when you were not coming out we called you & you said you left" " We checked our cell phones but there were no calls from you"

Couples did not talk to one another for 3 mos.

When Couple # 2 saw Couple # 1 at a party the former approached the latter couple & said hi.

Couple # 1 were still obviously mad about what happened 3 mos. ago.

If you're the psychiatrist/psychologist.. what will you advise them?

Take it easy. Is there any thing I can do for you guys. Lets start all oevr again. There must be some misunderstanding, lets talk and clear them out. You can say several things. But for the exam you will have specific choices. Please enlist them if you don't mind.

Sorry guys I don't have any ABCD choices. This is an actual situation & am caught in the middle. I just want advices from same frames of minds.

gpsbrar thanks for your input.

Oh Okay. Well you can say. It was a misunderstanding. Let us forget it and take it easy. Shit happens. This a small thing, we can handle it.

couple 2 must again appraoach couple 1 and talk it out, it might be a big thing for ego, but thats how they can work it out...call them home or phone them, that might help

as u know its easy to break a glass but very difficult to remake it, so i think couple 2 give it a try again....
