...from their latest "answer": [color:"blue"]"We've mentioned before that the best-selling relationship author of the last 20 years has a "Ph.D" from a school which was shut down by the state of California as a diploma mill. His ex-wife and former business partner is the author of more than a dozen relationship books. Last time we checked she was married to her fifth husband."[/color]

Any ideas who they're talking about?

Hmm.. seems they even have a page on their website devoted to them: http://www.wayneandtamara.com/barbaradeangelis.htm

Note: Wayne & Tamara's "advice" is typically at odds to MB advice too, particularly wrt infidelity. I've never seen them suggest trying to recover a M in the face of infidelity.

Hi, ManInMotion.

I have studied WayneandTamara right down to finding their initial posts on usenet, which evidently were a "test run" of their soon to appear (at the time) advice column(s).

Their opinion seems to basically be this; Any situation where the relationship is faltering should be summarily dissolved, because if the love were "real", then there wouldn't be a problem.

Can you say "circular logic"?

They claim to have "true love". I guess that looks eerily similar to "soul mates".

What a pair - of nuts.

Regarding "Wayne and Tamara".

I just want to make sure that I am clear on my opinion of these two.

I think that their advice is absolutely irresponsible to the point of being poisonous to anyone unfortunate enough to take it.
