08/19 Ask Dr. Phil About Sex
Quote From: puptentand be responsible like her son. I don't begrudge anyone of dating -- no matter what the age. That is each individual's choice but I think she is being to free with herself. Not only isn't that safe in this day and age but also she should have higher self esteem that to have sex with so many boys err I mean men. (just kidding about the age reference. 
 
Secondly, Kim needs to stop being so selfish and rude to her husband. She told him he doesn't turn her on...isn't the child that was shown theirs so they must have had sex.... I personally think she isn't satisfied with herself and is looking elsewhere to find that satisfaction. I also think it is a shame that her husband doesn't just say no but rather is doing something he doesn't feel comfortable doing.  
 
Thirdly, the retired couple was so cute together! He needs to do things he used to before the kids (I.e ran bathes for her etc.) and she needs to feel better about herself and her body. As Dr. Phil said "they need to find out who other is all over again." I think he is 100% right. You start your relationship as the two of you and if you have kids the relationship shifts to become parents and sometimes you lose site of the relationship between the two of you. That is why at least once a month, my hubby and I have date night -- we go out and leave our two and four year olds with his daughter who is 16 years old. We find that sometimes we wend up talking about the kids but it helps us to focus on us and where this family unit came from. It helps us to remember what it is about each other that we love and why we choose not only to spend our lives together but also why we choose to have a family together. 
 
  I don't have a problem with two responsible adults dating and being married regardless of their age but I do believe maturity needs to play a part in a good healthy relationship. This older lady definetly needs to look at her self as some one worthy to be loved and accepted for who her true person really is. I think she has some real deep issues that she needs to get beyond as she is stooping to such a low level and ruining her reputation. Maybe by watching herself on the show and the concerns that her son has for her, she will see how she really does disrespect herself and will get the help that she needs to be true to herself and to those around her, Sleeping around definetly is not a way to boost ones ego and self esteem and she needs to realize this and start looking at herself with pride and accept herself as a worthwhile woman born with a purpose and it isn't to satisfy manipulating lustful men out there who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
