Quote From: robin_kI'm the big girl who was on today's show. (Robin) Yep, the big redhead. A few facts that weren't explored on today's episode:
-- Half of the tools on that board are MINE. I bought them prior to our marriage. It doesn't matter -- if it's a tool, Brad has imminent domain.
-- I do many of the "quick fixes" around the house. If I use MY OWN TOOLS -- or leave them out overnight -- Brad gets mad.
-- I bought a special set of jewelry pliers to use for small work. He confiscated those and put them on the board too. (Look closely, they are the little bitty outlines on the left of the board.)
-- Yes I am an artsy type, and somewhat scatter-brained. That doesn't mean I'm disrespectful or rude. I try to give everyone around me the benefit of a doubt.

Robin, I am dying to know how you and your husband have reacted to the airing of the show. Did you feel well represented? How did your husband react to the show? Did he feel understood? I am sure that the show was actually taped a few weeks ago so how has life been for you guys since then? Did your husband feel like Dr. Phil had some valid comments? Did he ever feel like DR. Phil did not give some of his concerns enough attention? Did you feel validated from the show? My husband and I were recently on the show as well and my husband is an "engineer" too. We were dying watching the show as we have many of the same issues. I noticed posts making suggestions here and there and they are often insightful. But when you look at the big picture, it is difficult because of the over all general feeling of discontent your husband portrays? Just a guess. Just wondering how things are going for you. From one wife to another I applaud your efforts. It takes courage! Kelly
