OP: November 20, 2013, 05:44:31 PM
The show is advertising to be about MLC.  Just thought I would share with those of you who may be interested in watching.

It's it a new show?

They previously had an episode where the h was the mlcer and he sounded like a boomeranger? The w and h still did things together but the h exercised fervently and he didn't want to be married but spent loads of time with his w. You can find it on YouTube. Search on YouTube for midlife crisis and Dr. Phil.

I think I saw that one and wasn't impressed with Dr Phils "take" on it..he should have been tougher with him..

There are two ways of spreading light:
Be the candle; or the mirror that reflects it

Don't ask why someone is still hurting you; ask why you keep letting them.What you allow continues.

At some point you have to get sick of going through the same sh!t.

Women are NOT rehabilitation centers for badly raised men. It is not your job to fix ,parent, raise or change him.
You want a partner not a project.

This sounds totally different from the previous one from the description--30 year marriage, one couple, h leaves, wife moves on & h wants back.

Yup, that's the one that I saw before. I don't think Dr. Phil was able to impress upon the mlcer that he WAS going through a midlife crisis.

There should be a standard checklist 0k - "standard" might not be the operative word.

But I think with my h, I could check off about 85% - 90% of the characteristics: moving, spending $ like crazy, abandoned w and children with no notice, brand new car, traveling constantly, having "no" money despite having a job, and oh yes, the other woman too.

That other program was from a 2.5 years ago, so they would not rerun it in the main time slot for this season--they rerun this seasons older episodes. I contacted the show when I learned it was going to happen, but was a few hours too late--they were taping that day and would have otherwise had me come. DARN :P

I wrote a series at the blog based on that show.

I'm going to contact the producer I have talked with before and offer to Skype with the wife, Judy on an informal rather than coaching basis.

Today's show was the best I've ever seen on the subject [not saying much as mlc is never covered] although of course, being tv, it was fairly superficial.  Also the husband's mlc seems to have only lasted a year?  I missed most of the show but the description is here http://www.drphil.com/shows/show/2117
