I thought we were discussing the article? I know you fancy yourself a therapist because you work with therapists, but you aren’t. Apparently you have different motives here. If you need to feel better about yourself by “helping” others, get a license and hang a shingle.
I agree. Dread (sp?) locks or corn rows, yuck.
Heh, not!
LOL! I was wondering what that meant, too.
Nah, not really, lol. It’s just a form of entertainment. Unfortunately, some take it as reality.
Good post.
I don’t listen to Dr. Laura but read the article and watched a video of what she said on this particular topic.
I don’t think she was claiming that all women are responsible for their husbands cheating. It sounds to me that she was calling to task those wives who put up with this behavior, being a doormat, etc. and also those who possibly contribute to the failure of their marriages.
Again, I don’t listen to her show but that’s what I got from the article and a video I watched.
I agree. We are all responsible for our own behavior, but also the health of our relationships. If you are doing everything you can and your spouse isn’t responding, leave. But if you know you are not giving 100%, remember they have choices too.
Darn!
lol :)
That’s the way I see it, too. Just not one sex but both. Both spouses in the marriage. Marriage is a continuing work in progress and goes through great and not so great periods.
Well, you said it better than I did :)
Marriage, like everything good in life, is not easy. But it’s worth it.
I totally agree.
Ya don’t handle teasing well ;)(and as for discussing the article-— I’ll call you on that later).
Actually you were changing the subject, and I know that tactic well. Liberals use it all the time. I just don’t feel the need to go along with it.
OOOOHhh,
the old ‘You’re talking like a liberal’ ploy.
Look, if I go back and pick apart your posts, your last one was a rant about divorce, weight gain, unattractive spouses, man hating women, NOW, a long string of women bashing, money, cheating, the destruction of humanity etc etc etc.....You were pulling everything out of everywhere except what we were discussing which was...
‘dr.’ Laura’s statement, which I disagree with...which twerks your butt to no end. Why, I don’t know nor do I care. She’s not losing money over my opinion, believe me.
I think BOTH spouses should keep their promises. I also think that an unfaithful spouse, male or female will decide they want to screw around, then screw around and THEN find the excuse for it....
I think divorces should happen quickly and painlessly when kids aren’t involved-— especially if either spouse realizes they’ve married someone who’s broken their promises or has become so shallow and demanding, there is no way they can meet their expectations.
I also think that ‘dr.’ L plays more to male than females (yes, I’ve got all her books and I’ve read them). And I know she’s got some issues inside herself that spills out into her advice. I quit listening when I saw her schtick was nothing more than insults and telling people how rotten they were often without even letting them finish their story.
So, no, I don’t respect her.
Yeah, I just looked googled it up—appears in several media accounts. Huh. Put me down as never listening to another word she says about women. No wonder she holds them in contempt. (self-hating woman!)
Hey Twink!!! God bless you for your understanding andacceptance of your hubby’s love for long hair. What a gal you are! One woman in particular used to be in our group, waiting for our kids after school. So many times I heard her say that “’Eddie’ wants me to stop cutting my hair short, but I don’t care. Well, she dumped “Eddie”, and I hadn’t seen her for nearly three years. But then I didn’t recognize her b/c her hair had grown near her waist. She had grown it out for her new man! Ya wonder!
Anyway, I think that there MAY have been some truth in Dr. Laura’s opinion, BUT Elliot Spitzer is a wretched, self-consumed leftist. Years ago, I heard Laura say that the “proper care and feeding” advice only applied to those women married to that majority of men who are decent guys and love their wives. Elliot is O-U-T on this count.
Rule of thumb for me: IF a woman (or man) would acquiesce to a spouse’s desire while courting, (such as hair length), she should not expect her man’s passions to change AFTER the vows are exchanged. Yes, in the case of hair care, the man should help!!
Well, I like it long too, lol. All our girls also have long hair. I never cut it short even when I used to have to wash and brush it for them (and that was a nightmare when they were little, trying to get out the tangles as painlessly as possible).
But, I do agree with what you said about everything else, too.
