Replies to '06/29 Husbands Ask Dr. Phil'

I was going to say the exact same thing you said to a tee!  I'm not ignorant to the fact that there are pretty ladies all around me but my husband would never disrespect me like that because I would be out the door if he did.  I love my Dr. Phil, but for the first time ever, I disagree with what he did here.  That audience question was rigged to get the answer that he wanted.  What if he asked how many women would tolerate this adolescent behavior if they were sitting across from their husband & he was starring at another woman?  It's all about respect.  Like you said as well, she may have a little insecurity (who doesn't) but he's contributing to it, not helping it.  Girl, I've had the same conversations about those fear factor women.  The little mermaid may be a little too far, but I'm sure Kelly knows that too. She was probably just making a point about how women have to be so sexualized in our media.

I do not entirely agree with Dr. Phil on this one. I do not look at other men, while with, or away from my husband. When I married him.....those days were put happily put away. He will tell you the same about me. If I want to look at a gorgeous man....I look at my husband. He will also say the same about me. I believe it is one of the most disrespectful actions a husband or wife can do to their spouse. and yes.... "help meet" you said it all! If he is aware of her feelings on this subject and it is wrecking havoc on her emotions, he should certainly rethink his actions in light of honoring her and loving and caring for her. Love...We are to put the needs of our mate before our own. He needs to keep his eye's on his relationship, not using them to constantly search the gene pool...for what if! He needs to focus on his wife.

Kelly..... help him bring his eye's home, by using your influence physically. It is not fair you changed the menu. Help him as well. Men are visual creatures...captivate his attention with your beauty!

 

Help meet... each others needs.

I agree. With all due respect I disagree with Dr. Phil on this one. Jeremy could curb his behavior a little. No one needs to behave that way every moment. Of course men notice other women. It just happens. Most people wish to look attractive when they go out into the world. I think it seemed that DP was telling Kelly that she deserved this type of husband because she had behaved a little wild and flirtacious when they met. Married but not dead is correct but Kelly settled down after they married. Marriage should be about devotion and respect. It bothers Kelly when Jeremy behaves that way yet he continues the behavior. I think Jeremy is harmless and adorable but kelly is a beautiful girl inside and out who deserves nothing less than love and devotion. Peace, clarissa
