Hi.<P>Check your local listings. Dr. Phil is supposed to be doing the episode on women who cheat on their husbands today (Wednesday...he's usually on Oprah on Tuesdays, but Janet Reno was on instead).<P>Jill

I watched this today....interesting show.<P>However, I sure couldn't stand that betraying "smirking" wife who lost 125 pounds. Talk about denial and being unremorseful...UGHH!

Jill,<BR> I saw this,too.The first W seemed pretty remorseful,but the second one didn't seem to care about her H at all.She'll probably continue to see her young friend who"feeds her head".Don't think this marriage will last. --Murph

I thought it was a pretty good show. When the first girl was crying I was crying right along with her. I could feel her pain.<P>The only thing that botherd me was how Oprah was trying to get an answer out of her. She keep asking her to justify her actions and there really is no justification. Sure you can blame your husband or claim your self doubts but the bottom line is there really is no excuse.<P>As betrayers we chose to take that horrific path without realizing the consequenses. It's all a selfish act for self pleasure and that "fix" for somehow feeling special. But Dr. Phil is right when it's all done and over and you look at yourself in the mirror all you see is disgust and shame. It is not worth it.<P>And that lady that lost all the weight was in denial she's living out what she wanted to do her whole life but at her husbands expense. She is definately in her fantasy world. Did you guys see how selfish and ungrateful she was? She doesn't care if her H gives her attention becuase to her it will never be enough.<P>Just my 2 cents<P>Reina

Hi.<P>The first woman seemed remorseful. I really felt like she was sorry for what she'd done to her husband. I also felt her husband's pain. He was so hurt by her betrayal that he appeared to be emotionless/numb. Wow...what an impact that made. When I looked at the guy, he almost seemed like he had built a HUGE wall just to protect himself. Very heartbreaking...<P>The second woman really got on my nerves. She kept smirking and giggling and fidgeting in her seat. I didn't feel any remorse coming from her at all. I think she'll continue to see the guy that "feeds her mind"...whatever. She looked more like she should've appeared on The Jerry Springer Show instead of Oprah.<P>Anyway, it was an interesting show.<P>Jill
