Dear hurting,<p>Thank you! I've watched the whole thing. Heavens, that last guy - "I've garnered certain feelings for another person..." (I'm paraphrasing) He must be related to my H. All brains, no heart. Stilted intellectualizing.<p>How did those women keep from bopping their men over the heads with a mallet? <p>For that matter, how have I?

Hi Bell,<p>Yep, thanks to Hurtinginil, I too watched the Oprah tape.<p>And that last guy was a major Alien. Thing is, one day, perhaps years from now, that guy's gonna watch that tape and be ohhh so embarrassed. LMAO!<p>I really liked watching all 3 stories. The first one really hit home for me, 2 affairs etc. I have pangs of wanting to copy the tape and send it to ex-H with a label stating he should pay close attention to the first story.<p>Or ... maybe I could send it to him with the guise it's one of his porn tapes .. then he'd for sure watch it!<p>lol .....<p>Oh ... and the second couple, the guy, he was definitely addicted to the Porn/Chat Internet activity. He told Dr. Phil he couldn't avoid the Chat/Porn stuff because once he logged on it was all over his in-box, then Dr. Phil said "Hmmm, funny, you know, my computer has one of those delete keys". Poor guy really didn't realize his addiction either. He was deep in denial, so deep, he fooled himself into believing his own excuses. Fascinating, to say the least.<p>All the men's excuses in those segments were cracking me up. And Dr. Phil would let them ramble for a while, then interrupt and ask if they could please answer his question, or he'd ask "Is that a YES????" lolololol<p>[ March 12, 2002: Message edited by: Resilient ]</p>

I don't usually post on this board - what segment/tape are you discussing? The 2nd guy sounds like my WH (from your recaps).<p> [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Dr. Phil addressed "Adultery" interviewing three couples that had experienced Infidelity in their marriages.<p>Hurtinginil (a veteran member) recorded the segment and graciously sent tapes to a few of us.<p>Jo

Hi Jo and Belle---I'm glad you enjoyed the show. Today's was a followup of the adultery show and also the "incompatible sex drive" show. It was very interesting!!!<p>They talked to the man who was addicted to porn on the adultery show and he has stopped "abruptly", according to his wife. Their marriage has improved greatly, and according to the clips that they showed, they are very happy. <p> [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

What was it Dr. Phil said to the first H?<p>"You're immature, you have poor impulse control and you didn't care one iota how much this would hurt your wife, you only cared about what you wanted"<p>WHOA! He took the words right outta my mouth.<p>Jo

I felt that guy had a definite addiction, I don't know if you can stop a Internet/Porn addiction abruptly without any support or help. <p>Thank again for the tape, Hurting. Also, I got to see Chicago's commercials. Who in the heck are the "Blue Men"?<p>
