First I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas. This time of year, especially with it being 2020 has its emotional ups and downs. Its’ the time of the year for many affairs, especially in the days after Christmas.
It’s also a time of reflection. With that in mind, I have some relationship advice for Santa’s wife.
Mrs. Claus,
There are some behaviors in your husband that I need to bring to your attention. As a counselor I see many red flags that needing your attention.
I know that some people see him as a saint, yet Santa has some issues.
First, his voyeuristic tendencies of looking in on people when they’re sleeping borders on being a fetish. It’s creepy. He obsesses over people and their behavior, to the point of keeping lists.
When people keep lists and document others behaviors, then rate their behavior as good or bad behavior it’s obsessive, controlling and judgmental.
When you add his watching them as they sleep, it indicates a serious problems about potential voyeurism.
Second, his attention seeking lifestyle of wearing a red suit, driving fast and frequent international travel raises another red flag. That kind of attention seeking lifestyle is often seen among narcissists.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he wants to be the center of attention and have homes filled with pictures and images of himself. With such a high need for attention and high risk lifestyle habits, it may only be a matter of time before he’s at risk for an affair or worse.
Although he may not be looking for an affair, his fanboys may use seduction as a way of getting his attention.
This situation is made worse by his having others sit in his lap, which borders on suggestive gestures. The masks and plexiglass screens make it look safe, yet the sitting remains a concern with all the touching that happens.
Entering the homes of strange women without escort puts him at high risk for affairs. There are rumors that he visits the homes of his old girlfriends. Visiting old girlfriends while claiming “It’s part of the job” is questionable in my mind. Those ‘old flames’ are potential triggers for affairs.
That risk of affairs is heightened by the irregular hours he keeps at work. Irregular work hours and frequent travel are a red flag warning for affairs.
There have been rumors that as he goes driving around, he keeps looking for Ho’s. Cruising for Ho’s is definitely a concern if there’s any truth to that rumor.
Third, he exhibits unhealthy addictions to sweets, milk and tobacco. He goes overboard when he indulges in these substances, which indicates a lack of self-control. His over-indulgence on sweets also suggests he has needs for love, warmth, security and comfort.
Foods function like drugs, with the substances in them triggering receptors in his brain. There’s a potential danger that with that kind of weak self-control that his impulsivity may spread to other areas of his life as well.
That high consumption of sweets and stimulants combined with high risk situations is dangerous.
Consider that he’s often high on stimulants as he goes driving around at breakneck speeds. When he stops, he breaks into homes of strange women. Having him high on stimulants while breaking into homes is most concerning.
If anyone else did this, they’d be in jail. His friends enable his behavior by not arresting him and talking about how good he is. They’re oblivious to his bad habits or stand to gain from some payoff from enabling him.
Fast sleighs, being high on stimulants, having a high need for attention coupled with his voyeuristic tendencies and obsessive behaviors puts him at ULTRA high risk for relationship problems.
My advice for you Mrs. Claus is to take action and start doing something about his affair prone behavior.
Since he spies on others, he’s likely doing it to you as well. Even if he’s not having an affair, which is unlikely, he’s definitely at risk for developing one.
It may also help with the potential identity issues you have as being seen as Mrs. Claus or Mrs. Santa, since you’ve lost your own sense of individuality and now have a dangerous codependent relationship with Santa.
I hope that you enjoy your holidays.
Keeping it Real,
Jeff
