I read your plight. 

I'm absolutely not qualified to counsel you. 

I will pray for you. 

I will suggest that you consider some things. 

"Where does happiness come from?  From your marriage or from within yourself? 

"Do you not have any choices?" 

"Do you insist on something which isn't there?" 

"Are you in some way contributing to your plight, maybe?" 

"Who are you?" 

I'm not saying that I feel sorry for you, however my heart hurts for you.  I pray you will find the answers for yourself.  Find the answers within yourself.  Which will bring peace to you and your situation. 

Hey, Bill...LOL. I read your letter and just cracked up.
I love watching TV all day and surfing the net. I'm wondering what a nice guy like you would suggest I wear when hubby gets home?  

I'd personally LOVE to go back to work full time and get my PhD--but one of us had to sacrifice life in the working lane to take care of stuff around here. I make great money working part time. I'd give my right arm to have HIM stay at home and me get the heck out of here every day. 

You sound like a darn good catch, btw. What's YOUR wife do? (or wife number one, two or three?) I sure hope if you're the one at home, you put on your dress and get the drinks ready at 6:00. 

OMG. Can't wait to read you on these boards everyday. 

I can tell we're going to be GREAT friends :)  

I'm not just being cliche, you can still be happy in your marriage!  It's not too late, SERIOUSLY.  I don't think people should be giving up on their marriages so easily! I'm not saying it's easy to be so unhappy, but I'm saying that with a lot of work, attitudes and behaviors CAN change.  If you talk to your husband and he's not willing to be selfless and care about  your feelings, then yes, get out. 

But Kelly, don't leave.  You and your husband can definitely work through this. 

That is exactly right...but when your worth is based on how good a meal you can make or how clean you get a shirt???   

Sorry...but that is a waste unless you're getting paid to do it! 

Use your brain...not your broom 

You blame PORN..LOL, I'll blame his mother and father for raising such an idiot. I think his one brain cell is blown out and Kelly? Sorry, but marrying this guy was one mistake...then having THREE kids with him?
Oy.

Being a stay at home mom or a mom that works 40 plus hours a week and comes home to be a full time mom and wife, is a very rewarding yet tiring job. Unfortunately in today's society if you choose this profession of being a "full time" mom over anything else you are considered lazy or have loads of time on your hands. That is so not true- I had the opportunity to quick my 40 plus hour a week job a year ago to stay home with my two boys 4 and 14 (3 and 13 at the time) and let me tell you I have never worked so hard in my life!!!! There are a lot of men that have very unrealistic expectations of their wives and no expectations of themselves. The issue of respect and loving each other is  thrown out of the window for selfishness and self lust. God created marriage as a union, to enhance each other, to help each other and to worship and bring Glory to Him and him alone.  

After the whole discussion, I don't feel that Grant really learned anything.  He is one uptight guy.  Kelly seemed to be suffering from serious depression - from being put down.  I felt this couple needed more help than Dr. Phil gave on the show.  I would like to see Kelly be given more positive reinforcement to cope with this guy.
