Anyone watch Dr. Phil today?

[poohkinandpiglet]

I don't normally watch afternoon TV but . . .

Today, I couldn't believe the guy gave his pregnant wife a 30 day ultimatum or he was going to divorce her! Anyone else think the guy should be strung up by his b@##*?

Good Lord, what is that woman thinking!

Anybody that stays married to someone that gives them a 30 day ultimatum to bring a third-party into the relationship.....is an idiot!

This couple is the only couple I saw. It was on at the compound
and I was doing some paperwork. We all decided to turn it off-
it was disgusting, the man was disgusting, the woman was guided by fear. Have you seen A Clockwork Orange? I was thinking something akin to the punishment Malcolm McDowell's
character experienced would be good!

To bring a third party into the marriage bed.

I'd give him a 30 second ultimatum to get his disgusting self out of my house!

I don't know how these couples can go on national TV and discuss some of these things! She has the courage to go on Dr. Phil but can't find the backbone to tell her husband no? I think their marriage was dead a long time ago. How sad they have 2 children with 1 on the way.

I can't believe she actually considered the proposal - I hope it was out of fear because then I could at least try to understand where she was coming from. Where is the sanctity of marriage?!!! I agree with Disney Doll - I'd give him a 30 second counter ultimatum!

After watching some of it, I don't think you can lay the total blame for their behavior totally at the feet of the husband. She is the one that agreed to it years ago, and then strung him along about it. She even admitted that you look on the internet or speak to friends who enjoy this lifestyle to find someone else that is interested....so seems to me she was willing, whether she liked it or not, she did not say no.

Now, do I think it is healthy...in a word, no. But to me, they deserve each other, him for suggesting it and her for not being able to say no. I think they need more than Dr. Phil....JMHO

Glad I missed it today.

I saw it. Very sad. He looked like he was just seething! He seemed very selfish to me.

 

[danacara]

Oh, if it were me, there would be at least three parties in his marriage bed. Him. My lawyer. And my accountant. Both of the latter doing legal and financial things to him that would vaguely resemble practices illegal in places like Alabama and Mississippi.

How about that guy's mother, think she saw the episode? Wouldn't that make you, as the woman responsible for rearing this disaster, want to crawl under a rock?

Ok, I can see her trying to see if she can change his mind. But, if his marriage meant so little to him, then obviously it won't hurt him to be out on his behind.

 

[disney4us2002]

Noone is reporting what Dr. Phil (you have to get real with yourself!) was saying to this mess of a marriage. Was he all over the guy or what?

 

[popeyeohoh]

I was just at phil's web page and cannot find out what the Dr. said to this couple. I thought that man was way out of hand. She nursed her husband through lukemia and all he can think of is that if she really loved him she would get another girl in bed with them. She probably wanted this on tape to show in divorce court. If anyone knows the drs. answer would you please post

 

[chris1gill]

This is just gross Yeah, I'd give him the thirty day ultimatum to get the h*ll out of my house....

Very curious what Dr Phil said to this shambles of a couple.

 

[dixiegirl]

I wouldn't even give him an ultimatum back - I'd pack his stuff and put it on the front lawn and have the locks changed - no ultimatum, no discussion - OUT!!!
Granted we don't know what really is going on with them - he said, she said and they are coached for tv but still - OUT! OUT I say! BUH-BYE

Is Dr. Phil the "new" Jerry?

 

[Joanne M]

To summarize, Dr. Phil had a difficult time getting the woman to even admit how she felt about the issue. She was only going along with the husband's demands because she was afraid he was going to leave and she had no choice. Dr. Phil drew out her feelings, which were that while she initially agreed to participate in a threesome thinking it would save her marriage, she has since changed her mind. So her answer was no, she did not want to do it.

Dr. Phil blasted the guy, but not nearly enough, IMHO. He went back to his standard line that I have used myself. That is if you are having issues in a relationship you do NOT go outside the relationship to solve them, whether it be an affair, pornography, etc.

Wait until that guy sees himself on tape and gets some feedback from friends, family, co-workers, etc. Talk about a wake-up call.

Wow!!!

This sounds like a topic for Maury, not Dr. Phil!!!
