(Original Air Date: 02/02/06) Charles says he has exhausted his relationship with his wife of 19 years, and he's ready to try an alternative lifestyle. Instead of getting a divorce, Charles wants to explore polyfidelity -- a relationship where he is shared between his wife and his mistress. The mistress says she'll give it a try, but his wife, Tracy, says the thought makes her sick. Can Charles convince his wife to share him for the sake of their marriage? And what does Dr. Phil think? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

KICK him to the CURB!

Arogant???   No where close!   This man is probably younger than I am, but he has been rode hard and put away wet!!!   He needs some plastic surgery, IF he thinks he is gonna find a younger filly!   The younger woman is using him, just like he is using her and his wife!   What happened to the people in this world?   Even IF he "wakes up"  she needs to go on with her life, MINUS him, and set an example for her children to follow..  if she does not, these boys will see that their future wives .. should be like their mama.. deal with what ever they toss to their plates!   Honey did your mama not tell you that their are plenty of fish in the sea?   How many men would not appreciate a woman that believes in fidelity, and keeping herself only for him?    You might be surprised.. if you get out there in this great big world.. and away from this man that has obviously beaten you to the ground, pick yourself up, dust yourself off... and find that self esteen you have lost!!!!

to CHARLES

Charles,  

If you and your wife are happy. I am thrilled. I wish my husband would have stepped up and gone the distance after an affair. Good for you ! But you really came of in your message and on the show like a self centered guy.  It hasn't been that long......................Keep up the work and love. IF it lasts years and is good and you don't do back to your old way you will be able to tell all of us "SEE WE DID IT".  It's to soon to be tooting your horn. I hope you and your wife and kids end up as one of the lucky families. Most of the us didn't get that lucky.  SHOW US ALL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>nothing would make you look better!

twisted love

Good name for the show. Twisted. Sorry Chuck, marriage is to 1 person. I've been married for 30 years-good and bad times are inevitable. My wife saved my life. Can't beat that. That alternative lifestyle thing is bull. Get divorced and get on with it. Remember your wife of 19 years gets half of ALL you got to date. I'm a male and I am sorry to call you brother so I won't. There are other words for people like you.

opinions

 i have a male friend that lives far away from me, we have not seen each other in years, (i am a female and happily married) we speak by phone or by email. he is in an unhappy marriage. he has the usual complaints about his wife. he has recently  told me that he loves me. no one knows he has said this to me.  i have told him not to call me or email anymore.  his statement of love, made me uncomfortable. he has stopped calling somewhat, i just dont answer when i know it is him.  i feel bad for cutting off communication with him, as he has no other friends to speak with. was i right to abandon him? or should i have just stated that we can only  be friends, and nothing more ever? thanks

06/26 Twisted Love

I think some men think they have the say about everything because they are the "breadwinners". I have had 2 cheating spouses and I know. But his wife has had many obligations in life besides just seeing to his needs, though that is important too. Question is....what could he have chosen to do, other than cheat? Maybe, if he had made his wife feel wanted and loved, she would have been amazing in bed too...who knows. It's hard to disect someone else's marriage. But, he sounds really, really selfish in all this. I kicked both my cheating spouses to the curb, and I am now married to a man who fulfills MY needs!

Run Tracy Run and dont look back

 Charles is a selfish , greedy pig that only thinks of his own selfish desires. Tracy had better not wait for him to cont ..... going behind her back having his cake and eating it too, the other woman is a whore that has no self worth and she will always be his booty call as the new terminology goes for (whore at your disposal ) He is not going to stop seeing  her , he's a liar its been going on for 13 years , they are additcted to one another and if you leave him the trill will be gone and they will be left with monogomy and boardom that he has turned his nose up to , in your relatonship. Tracy get your own means of survival, and dump him like a bowel movement that you where dying to have.

Happy for you both

Quote From: charles_

                                                    
                                                     FROM CHARLES ON THE SHOW

I am happy to report to all of the venomous and curious women out there the following:

Tracy & I are doing very well now and are HAPPY again.....yes I got hit with a 2 by 4 on the head and deserved it !!!

Dr. Phil  provided us with great counceling and we had our last session a month ago..............

The show you watched today was taped in January and aired in late February....

Enough time has passed to put our lives on the right track and as disgusting as it  appeared on TV ....many people like me (us) do recover....it just takes time and healing.....and fogiveness

So ....pound away and strike out against men that behave poorly, if it makes you feel better.

Charles (on the show)

Tracy & Charles I was very happy to read that your marriage is back on track again and that you are both happy & doing well.  Hopefully your entire family will recover and come through healthier and happier emotionally then you all were before the affair.   

  

The only comment I wish you make is to Charles so here goes.  Charles I read what you wrote and as I said I'm happy for you both, but why do you still find it necessary to sound off to the women on the message boards who found your behavior so distasteful.  After all Charles you were distasteful at that time...lol.  Yes it probably made some of the viewer and message writers happy to beat up on you for the men in their own lives, but for the most part I believe they were really just trying to support Tracy and even in their anger towards you, perhaps they were trying to turn on your "light bulb"..so you could see how foolish and uncaring you came across to the audience.  

  

I wish you both peace and happiness for the future.

Tracy

I am still shaking my head wondering what good it would have done to her husband for her to kick his behind out, get alimony, make him pay child support among taking responsibility for all finances for the kids etc......... 

  

He has been high on the totem pole for way too long. It was all about how HE would feel about whether HE would have separation anxiety - not the kids, not her. 

  

I don't think that her husband looks at her as a woman who holds herself in high regard therefore, he doesn't see her on the pedestal at all - ever. 

  

How did THIS turn HIS life upside down? What are HIS consequences? Tracy seems to have absolutely no boundaries for herself - it was so sad to see her that desperate and this husband loved every minute of it. He just LOVED saying on the television how men would fall out of their chairs because she was SOOOO attractive. Was that REALLY for HIM? Or was it for HER to reINFORCE to her how so high and mighty HE is and that HE is WANTED by someone else who is SOOO attractive?? 

  

I am not suggesting divorce because of infidelity but, I certainly would have sent him packing and demand counseling in the interim. My husband certainly wouldn't be having sex with me anytime soon nor, would he be in our home. He would FIRST suffer and experience consequences for his actions - why??? Because, I AM WORTHY enough to demand RESPECT as his wife. 

  

My guess, they are in a honeymoon stage right now......of course, it has to seem this way for HIS sake so when it is all over and done with, he can SAY he TRIED. I do not think he has cut off his relationship with the other woman.

 he has others he can talk to and it is not your place to be his friend , Dont call him or talk with him ever again unless you want to be a selfish amoral human being.
