Topic : 09/05 The Divorce Experiment

In our society, a woman's right to behave as badly as she wants reigns supreme, (as long as the bad behavior is aimed only at men). That is a problem and a problem which is getting worse rapidly. This show, rather than helping a women, will hurt innocent men. BET ON IT! Bet everything you own and everything you ever will own on these concepts hurting children and innocent men.  

Since when did a woman EVER reign supreme?    

How will this show aimed at a woman trying to get back her power from an overbearing, egotistical, self-involved husband hurt innocent men?  Your dialogue seems like you are threatened.  God, men are so boring!!!  

A lot of people feel the same way you do to a point, but if your husband came home and degraded everything you did in front of your children and treated your children with the same disrespect, I would hope that no amount of money in the world would make you stay in your financial safety net.  This topic is not just about who does what, it's about treating another human being with the respect of at least an animal don't you think.  I will to do anything I can to make my husbands day go better because I love and respect him, but his job does not end when he punches out at work.  He is a father and husband and if he can't provide love, respect and emotional security when he gets home, then he is not doing his job as a husband and father.

Dear Amy, 

Dump Greg. 

Whether man or woman, it doesn't matter, if one spouse abuses the other emotionally, physically or is neglectful, it is a serious problem.    

Balance is so important, and it does go both ways.    

As a woman who has suffered in an abusive relationship, I know that there are many facets to any relationship and when one, on either side, gives and gives and there is no reciprocation, no respect, no love and or consideration then you are running on empty, and eventually you run out.   

When you reach that point it is really hard to go back, or to fix what is broken.    

When anyone, man or woman, takes such pleasure in talking down to their partner in life, with no regard for them as an individual person, it is just WRONG!    

Sadly, many people do change for the worse after the marriage.   It is so important to know who you are with and to take the time to be sure.    

Dr. Phil has his work cut out for him, if he really hopes to help save this relationship.  Abuse is a deal breaker with NO "do overs".    

Good Luck.    

This may not be popular opinion, but although the husband seems like a complete jerk, he has a point.  My husband works full-time so that I can stay home with the kids.   I feel it's my duty to keep a clean home, to take care of the kids, the shopping, and the errands.  Most importantly, he always has a hot dinner on the table when he gets home from work.  Is this old fashioned?  Perhaps, but I feel it's the ethical thing to do.  Whether my children were babies or toddler or teens, I've always believed this and been able to do it.   

No matter how big or small my home, I've maintained it and all that includes while my husband works his butt off for us.  Granted, my husband is appreciative and compliments what I do at home, but regardless, it's still what I feel should be done. 

I really get tired of stay-at-home moms feeling they shouldn't do what they're doing or that their husbands should come home and cook for the family.  That's ridiculous and unfair. 

Let me be sure to repeat, today's husband was a complete jerk and I wouldn't live with a guy who believed as he does and insults instead of compliments, BUT he has a point.  If your guy is working for the family, a woman who ISN'T working should do the rest.  Period. 

I think she needs to leave him if he doesn't get help, but for his sake and the sake of his family, I hope he takes the help that Dr. Phil offers.  Greg's got to at least be a good sport to go along with everything he did for the show, and, he admitted to Dr. Phil that he was willing to change but he sincerely didn't know how. 

I think Greg's probably had his own demons chasing him for a number of years, and, he's probably been through some painful and damaging events in his life.  However, I think he really loves his wife and daughter, and he's probably very much afraid of what life would be like without his wife. 

There's a nice guy in there somewhere and I hope he gives himself a chance and gets help because yes, it is possible to change and change radically! 

     This guy is some piece of work. He says he is superior to women and he could do a woman's work in half the time. I would like to see his self centered butt serving overseas with the women that are Mother and wives, plus serving their couhtry.  I know a few of these ladies and they can run circles around this scrawny, narrow minded little man.  

Dr. Phil..... 

With regard to Greg, the "man" who was the guest on your show today.... 

You can bring in all the tough women in America to try and teach him a lesson 

You can fix him and Amy up with the best of the best with regard to therapy/counseling 

You can bring them on the show and try to reason with him 

But you CAN'T FIX STUPID......
