Her Secret Ingredient
u/Palatron: “Had a soldier [in therapy] stationed at Guantanamo Bay that met a local. Fell madly in love. They decided to get married so she could come with him in the states. She was working on American dishes, making spaghetti. He comes home from work one day, and she puts the meat in, the canned sauce, and then pulls an unlabeled bag out of the freezer and adds it.
At this point in the session she’s hysterically crying…trying to explain she didn’t know any better. He informs me her mother and grandmother told her to keep her man, she needed to put her menstrual blood in his food…I was trying not to gag. They were both madly in love, but he couldn’t let it go. They ended up getting a divorce.”
