Michele...I know you are in LA now taping the third show...but when you get back and are TEMPTED to read the boards on Dr. Phil...DONT! It will only UPSET you and make you angry!
I just peeked in over there, and they are already starting in with "oh great, another one" crap! Those people spout out advice that they have NO CLUE what they are talking about...You stick here at MB and these good folks will get you thru the hard times ahead! Good luck!

Oh my word. I just read the "trailer" for the show, and found out that the OW is her FBF! Like me!!! I wonder how-oh-how-oh-how in the WORLD she sat up on that stage with both the WH and the OW/FBF and it didn't turn into a Jerry Springer special?!? I had to SEE OW/FBF at one Scout function, and I took 2 anti-anxiety pills and STILL almost lost it when she spoke to me. Ugh. Especially this early into recovery, after D-day. Oh my gosh.
I can't believe the OW/FBF even volunteered to come on the show! I don't know if it would be better for me to watch it, or not watch it. I feel like I am finally putting the whole thing to rest, and I wonder if this will just stir up old stuff?
Oh, Michele, I am so sorry for your pain. I have been there, done that, and I have several t-shirts. You are very strong and brave to face all this at once, and on national TV. Hopefully, your story will help lots of others who are too ashamed or embarassed to admit what is going on in their lives ~ and internalized the pain. I am not one of those people, but some women (and men) do that. Probably why exact infidelity statistics are not known!

And I think it's important to note BEFORE we watch the show.. They appeared on the show at her H's 's request. The show was taped in March. Her H has recommited to the marriage and is working on rebuilding since that show was taped. Congrats to Michele and her H and I sincerely hope their marriage is still firmly on that road to recovery! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm going over 2 the Phil website and see if it's condensed over there.

Shaking him won't do any good. He is who he is. This person (I will never call him a man) cheated on her over FORTY TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At this point she is in this with eyes WIDE OPEN and deserves 100% of the responsibility for the outcome of what will inevitably happen to her. She is willingly going into this yet again with a man who CANNOT stay faithful. Phil couldn't really offer any friggin advice today. The show was kind of a waste, as all they did was rehash what everyone knew. Well, I can only hope for the sake of ALL (OC DEFINTELY included) that these disguting human beings (WS and OW) don't totally ruin any chance that these children have of making a good life for themselves. This kind of $hit usually leaves deep seated scars. I saw the show on TIVO, and if this wasn't so deeply sad, would be funny. Notthing shocks me anymore. Sad. LM
Some people just don't get it, they don't get it that they don't get it.
I had the right to remain silent.......but I didn't have the ability.

As I told Pep today, if a man could not make up his mind, I could make it up for him in a split second. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Susan <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Oh dear.......... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I am glad I didn't see it reading LM's reaction. I would have reacted the same as him.

Susan: I hear you. ol' 2long has been at this solong now... But I NEVER went through anything like THAT. STILL... I now KNOW that if it happens again, I won't do this particular form of recovery again. I'd fly solo! Nineteen times? The only thing that would keep me home is the time it takes 2 put finances in order, get the house sold, and move one of us 2 Novosibirsk. Not MB? Not even what you're accustomed 2 hearing from ol' 2long? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> -ol' 2long

(as if THAT was not enough) THIS IS ABOUT A MAN WHO HAS NOT BEEN CONSISTENTLY FAITHFUL ~ever~ and he will remain forever HIGH RISK according to most experts who have studied infidelity Pep

Here is a definite situation where a "post-nup" like Cy's been talking about on his thread.... would be REAL SMART for Michelle to get in place... A legal document where he forfets his cajones in a pickel jar if her ever strays again ... but that's just my opinion I'm just saying.....

I don't know if you saw this on the Pregnancy/Child board, but Michelle posted this today: It was taped 2 months ago and so much has changed since. H and I are in a much better place in our R now. Our follow up show is scheduled to air May 23 and will be a much more pleasant show. I think I'll stay on the side of hope and wish them nothing but the best. GS

I just got done watching <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
I've got it so easy! I'm glad I'm not whining over here. Loved Dr. Phil's point of view too. I missed some, but it's just shocking the insanity of it all.

I haven't seen the show, but I looked at the link. Wow! It just goes to show, no matter how bad things seem, there is always someone going through something even more difficult. At least I can be thankful that my MOW won't be providing an OC, she's too old (meeeoww!!). <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
