![By then Cheever's alcoholism had become severe, exacerbated by torment concerning his bisexuality. Still, he blamed most of his marital woes on his wife, and in 1966 he consulted a psychiatrist, David C. Hays, about her hostility and "needless darkness". After a session with Mary Cheever, the psychiatrist asked to see the couple jointly; Cheever, heartened, believed his wife's difficult behavior would finally be addressed. At the joint session, however, Hays said (as Cheever noted in his journal) that Cheever himself was the problem: "a neurotic man, narcissistic, egocentric, friendless, and so deeply involved in [his] own defensive illusions that [he has] invented a manic-depressive wife."[17] Cheever soon terminated therapy.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vsqpdbfrqt7p5p4tlssvjvop/bafkreigyam7wvbleekom2buegf2iqvjwk5nmwnphw5hhgjcnq2eet42p4e)
