I'm sorry, I forgot to post this earlier and it may be over in some areas.
The Dr. Phil episode on MLC airs today--in 30 minutes for me.

Okay, so I just started watching and SO MANY of the words said by the guy in MLC have either come out of or might as well have come out of my H's mouth.  Scary.

I watched this too. It did sound like my H . I swear there must be an implant somewhere that they get . Dr Phil did tell both couples that they needed to try everything before they gave up. He didn't see any reason why they should divorce now . The MLC wife was just unbelievable saying that she was upset with her H for being angry with her affair. She never once when I was watching took responsiblity for affair. She sounded like a spoiled child which I remember someone her compared a MLC spouse as  just that.
Then there was the MLC H who didn't want to be married and supposedly doesn't want anyone else. He is still having sex with his wife and doesn't see it as a big deal the arrangement they have . Clearly his wife is devastated and trying to keep the man she loves.

It was hard to sit and watch this show with my mother . She spent the entire time just telling me how crazy all this is. Mother thinks it is just an excuse to cheat on me. So much for being a loving and supportive mother :(

I made a choice to finally let go, because I can't stand the pain, it's time for my last tear to fall and smile again.

Same here! Tony was like an echo of my husband...no real reasons that make much sense at all, and still has that 'married' relationship with the wife that he supposedly doesnt want to be married to...

The other couple, the woman in a way looked and sounded in some ways to be regretting, or almost starting to regret what has gone on...but she never admitted it...

idk, but to be honest, it was a let down for me...Dr Phil didnt really have anything to suggest, or any type of guidance...the couples were in completely different sitches, length of marriage, children, one retired, one working ( I know Tony was working in a casino...not his career tho)...

all he really stated was that they BOTH had emotional issues to work out, and a lot of them...well DUH!!! DR Phil!

sorry so negative, I guess I was wanting more...

hugs,

2 years since he left... divorce was filed a year ago, nothing going on right now. Seems like he and OW are done...will take some more time! Seems comfortable being around me and the girls. Relaxed without her, but does not want me...or anyone else...all that matters are his daughters...

Devoted wife and mother.

I agree Lost, I was disappointed too with the show.  I expected the show to be more indepth then what we saw.

Big letdown, oh well, we're all LBS and we know all about Let down!

Yeah it was a let down but he didn't discount MLC as just an excuse to do whatever they wanted. Dr Phil did very briefly mention at the end that there various resource to help you if you are going thru MLC.  Would have been more helpful if he had actually addressed the signs and stages of MLC .  Maybe we should call Oprah and let MLC  be her grand finale :)

I  have to pull one positive out of it...cannot keep the negatives going cause all it does is drown me in my own tears and sorrow.
