>>Utterly amazing that this woman has risen to the level that she has......<<
Actually, this article is a sample of WHY she has risen to the level she has.
I’ve been married twice. First for 20 years, second for ten - and counting.
For the first, it was what is becoming typical in the US for many men - typified in the bedroom scene in the movie “Beethoven”. Funny thing was, I didn’t even see the end coming, since I was doing everything possible. Reading books, going to classes, being the “good and obedient house trained husband”. But her female narcisism clearly told her that if she was unhappy about anything in her life it was somehow my fault and responsibility. I really don’t have the luxury of feeling sad for her in her little apartment and her cat because my commitment is to my wife - which she isn’t.
For the second - the honeymoon aint over yet, and my love for her (and hers for me) keeps growing more than I thought humanly possible. I used to think Chick Flicks were science fiction for women. I now know that they really are based on reality. People really do have those kind of romantic and exotic relationships. I know. I’m living it!
Life is good!
And Dr. Laura is spot on.
As am I, but it takes work on both sides and it also takes marrying someone that you actually have common interests with, outside of ringing each other's bell in bed. Far too many folks who wind up in divorce court stop doing all the things they did to win over their spouse before they got married. This isn't a man only or woman only thing. I know guys and gals who let themselves go, physically, after they got married and they wonder why their spouses cheated on them. Using sex as a tool to control their spouse, as many women do, is the quickest way I know to chase a man into the arms of another woman.
I waited until I was 42 before I found the right girl. Many of my friends over the years are on their second, third or even fourth marrages. One neighbor of mine just got married for the sixth time! Too many folks get married for the wrong reasons, then don't work at it to keep the relationship "hot".
My problem with Dr. Laura is how she brow beats people. She earned the moniker "Dr. Self-Righteous Indignation" and it fits her like a hand made glove......
