I'm still in the middle of it but I am guessing that Dr. Phil is not well versed in MLC.

I wasn't let down, I had zero expectations.
I didn't figure Dr. Phil knew much about mlc.
He just said the normal therapist stuff. We all know most don't have their minds
around it yet.

This lady calling her A her "gentleman friend" is cracking me up.  What kind of "gentleman"  has an A with a married woman?

They would allow her to say a$$wipe.

Merged this in with our other thread, sorry RCR we all already knew about this..... 


Is this the same episode that they wanted you to be on?? ? ?

Oops! I was in a hurry to shower before the show came on, so just wantedt o post and did not look first! Yes, this is the show I didn't get to be on.
I spoke with the producer earlier this week to send him the submissions I have collected and he told me it was coming up. I want to post more now that I've watched...but have to run errands and after that Sweetheart and Ia re going for a motorcycle ride! But tomorrow I want to come back in and talk about it a bit.

They just glossed over the MLC aspect. If that was the focus of the show, they should have spoken of that and the symptoms, etc. rather than just spending 10 seconds on it at the end.

I think Tony probably is in MLC.  I am not so convinced about the woman who had the A.  I didn't appreciate the fact that Dr. Phil told Tony at the end that they probably should get a divorce.  I did like the fact that he said people divorce too quickly, and that you have to "earn" your way out of a relationship by trying absolutely EVERYTHING you possibly can before you end it.

[Still]

I, too, wish he would have focused more on MLC. They didn't really go into it at all......just the typical "cliche" aspects that we all hear joked about.

I have to keep in mind that this means more to those of us dealing with it every day, than it would to the average audience member.

What really resonated with me was Dr. Phil saying "Why would you want to be married to someone who clearly doesn't want to be married to you?" I find myself thinking about that all the time. And also, "Children would rather you divorce and come from a broken home than grow up in home that is broken."....ouch, that stung just a bit.

Ironic coming from me today who is ready to thrown in the towel because I am so fed up, but I guess it all depends on whether or not you believe in MLC and whether you think your spouse have a good chance of making their way through it.  There is always the chance they will feel differently about wanting to end the marriage when they are out of crisis.

[justasking]

Children would rather you divorce and come from a broken home than grow up in home that is broken."

I am sure there is plenty of research saying the opposite, that parents divorcing has huge emotional and psychological implications for children. If you ask any child none of them would 'prefer' their parents to divorce
