Twisted Love
Charles says he has exhausted his relationship with his wife of 19 years, and he's ready to try an alternative lifestyle. Instead of getting a divorce, Charles wants to explore polyfidelity -- a relationship where he is shared between his wife and his mistress. The mistress says she'll give it a try, but his wife, Tracy, says the thought makes her sick. Can Charles convince his wife to share him for the sake of their marriage? And what does Dr. Phil think?

Then I guess a MOW would be both- the W and the "skanky one". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Skank is truly a state of mind. When someone tells you and shows you who they are, BELIEVE THEM.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like duck, and acts like a duck, then "AFLAC", it's a duck.

The ? that made recovery possible: "Which lovebuster do I do the most that hurts the worst"?

The statement that signaled my personal recovery and the turning point in our marriage recovery: "I don't need to be married that badly!"

If you're interested in saving your relationship, you'll work on it when it's convenient. If you're committed, you'll accept no excuses.

Depends on how one defines "skanky" - ya know?

A lot like art, or porn --- <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> "I know it when I see it."

LOL "AFLAC" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

In this particular example from Dr Phil's show synopsis:

The skanky ones are the two people who are willing to have a three-way love triangle ... the H and the OW are equally skanky .... stinky .... morally mal-odorous ... non-infidelity-phobic ...

Carolyn - I forget that your not in the states. Pepperband explained it perfectly.

There is a commercial in the states for an insurance company called "AFLAC". Their spokesman is a duck who says "AFLAC" instead of quack. Do you get it?

DOH!

>My WH's OW proposed this particular solution to me recently

Classic. Seems to be par for the course for a lot of 'em. When some think they're going to loose the man to his W, they propose this in the hopes the W will get disgusted and leave.

Plus, it plucks at the WH's "manly" self image that he would be "satisfing" 2 women at one time.

- Kimmy


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.
