Man Sues Marriage Counselor For Having Affair With His Wife

A McHenry County man is suing his marriage counselor, contending the therapist he hired to help improve his marriage instead began an affair with his wife.

That relationship eventually prompted the couple to divorce, according to the breach-of-contract suit filed by 35-year-old Scott Buetow of Lake in the Hills.

His lawsuit seeks more than $200,000 in punitive damages from his former counselor, Dan Blair, and the Arbor Counseling Center where Blair works.

"He had an obligation to provide services, and he willfully abused that for his own benefit," said attorney Hans Mast, who represents Buetow

4. Speaking as one of the profession involved

He should lose his license AND lose this lawsuit. I'm not sure if I can find it, but I think dumbass is a clinical term.

5. Good! Now she's *his* problem...

Might be my attitude if I knew more about the situation.

7. Is the glass half full or empty

On the bright side the original client now has no more "marriage problems". If I was the marriage counselor's attorney I work argue in court that his client had marriage problems and therefore he solved the problem by ending the marriage which therefore means, no more marriage problems.
