Hopefully this is not a repeat post.

Dr Phil is going to have OW's on his show Monday. Not sure if this will be torture to watch or if it will be enlightening. This is one time I can't wait to see Dr. Phil's arrogance and 2X4's all over the place.

anyway, might make for good discussion on here and just wanted to give a head's up.

Dr Phil's relationship retreat was pretty good IMO.

This might be interesting.

Thanks Maddy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Just a little bummed here. Dr. Phil is not on. US Open Tennis match is on instead. I don't usually watch Dr.Phil except for shows I'm really interested in. And this is one I really wanted to watch. @#!!! I am so disappointed. I had the tape in and everything so FWH and I could watch it together later. Is this a repeat show or a new one?

Has anyone seen it today? Was it any good? It comes on in the afternoon here (3pm.)

It comes on here (east coast) at 5 PM. Not sure if it will be on or not. I don't have a VCR or I'd tape it for you.

I'll watch it and let you know what happens. Dr. Phil should speak the truth. But I usually avoid shows like that. Makes me want to slap the TV.

Thanks MaddyK and Believer. I did some investigating on the stations's website and I think they may be reairing it at 5pm. But just in case, let me know if there was anything worth watching. We may be going out later. We only have one tv left with a vcr. I will try to tape it.

Thanks again. Maybe it will be worth the trouble of watching.

1st ... an OW. She is deep in the fog and she is a victim of her own & WH's selfishness. She deserves what she is gettin into ... but it would be more effective if Dr. Phil also shows the BS's pain cause by this OW's actions. Thumb down for

2nd ... THIS IS A WARNING FOR BS! ... PLEASE NEVER TAKE YOUR UNREPENTANT WS BACK W/O PROPER COUNSELING !. I taped the show like always, eMail me I mail you one.

3rd ... Serial OW. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> . She is worst than a hoe. She is not doing it for drugs or money or even sex. A w/ 7MM <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> . Warning for all of us to learn how to fullfill our SO's ENs, trained our SO to fillin ours and guard our own ENs from any opposite sex.

Again if you have no way to watch and like to view it. I taped the show, shot me your address I have limited vhs tapes, postage is on me ... even to overseas.

Here's a link Dr. Phil's website... inside the mind of a mistress

and here's part of the conversation with Anna the OW:

"Do you think this is fair to his wife?" Dr. Phil asks Anna.

"Absolutely not," she responds.

"So is it fair for her — who's been married to him 25 years, cleaned up after him when he's been sick, raised children with him, sacrificed with him, deals with the 'damn dailies' as I call them — and then you come in at the eleventh hour and provide a contrast to that, that's new and exciting and fun?"

"Well, is it fair for him to work like a dog and pay everything and be *****ed out about it, be put down for everything he does and doesn't do — is that fair on his end?" Anna asks.

"That's between him and his wife and that's none of your business," responds Dr. Phil, and the audience applauds. Dr. Phil points out to Anna that she only knows what Phillip tells her, implying that she may not know the whole story. "You've got to be smarter than that," he says.

"I can look at all these people in the audience," says Anna, "and I can almost guarantee that almost all of them has had an affair in their life."

When the audience reacts in disbelief, she calls them "naive."

If you have no expectation on the result then you could play it if it helps your cause.

This is just my 2¢ . -rh-
