The perfect husband

Hello. Im only 18 and single. I wanted to say what I think is the perfect husband. The perfect husband in my opinion was my step-grandfather who is now dead. I dont have any memories of him but I was told what he was like. My Nana told me that whenever they went shopping and she liked something he would buy it for her then and there or later as a present. She told me that when he was at work he would call her several times a day and say "have I told you yet how much I love you?" or "I just called to tell you how much I love you". She has showin me great big cards that he gave her. He even baught her chandeliers. Whatever she wanted he gave it to her. He treated my Nana like gold. And I think thats how every man should treat his wife. In my opinion thats the perfect husband.

Quote From: beromo

Dear Dr. Phil and wife, 

  

I saw your show today and I must say that I am concerned about poor Kelly.  Dr, did you notice the look on her face at the end of the show?  She looks as though she has just swallowed a bug or  something.  In fact, Kelly looks as though she might be anticipating a bit unplesantness when she gets home with Mr. Grant (aka - Mr. Potato Head)  

  

I say Kelly should RUN,  and RUN as fast as she can away from this potato head as soon as possible, and take the kids before he can pollute the little minds of how a father and husband are suppose to act and behave to an obviously caring, devoted and loving wife! 

  

I am 99% sure that this Grant fellow let everything you told him go in one ear and straight out the other - Bottom line:  Grant is a "control freak" It makes him feel better about hisself to put others around him down.  Kelly has no chance with this one, he will continue to verbally and eventually physically abuse her. 

  

This is what I see, I have seen this happen first hand - my mother has put up with the same personallity trait (my father) for over thirty years...shes been so cut down that she has no self-esteem what-so-ever..... 

  

and so I say RUN KELLY, RUN!!!! 

 

Brenda

I agree with this 100%. She looked so sad and beatin down. She looked as though she was gonna burst into tears at any moment. I would'nt be suprised if one of these days she has a nervous break down and ends up in hospital. And if I was her I would walk out the door and say " I'll be back if you smartin up and treat me with all the love and respect I deserve and if you don't then I'm gone for good. It's your choice."

I agree

Quote From: saseycat

 I am confused as to why any woman would let a man dictate to her how she is to dress and look around the hose to do housework or what ever. I was in a relationship very simular to this one for a couple of years and I finialy did come to my sences and got out of it. My relationship was one that I thought I was so much in love with him that I gave up all of my self worth and identy. That is all wrong. If the man doesn't love and respect you for who you are then you don;t need him as far as I am concerened. There is more to a relationship than how you look and dress for your spouse.

Amen to that!

That is not normal

In my opinion when you are married or dateing or whatever. You do not treat your bf/gf whatever the case maybe like that. In my book thats wrong. When you get married your vows are "for better or for worse in sickness and in health for richer for poorer to love and to charish" that not just scribble on paper. They are sacred vows that mean something. You dont call your spouse names. That is awfull in my opinion.

I am homeschooled

I have been homeschooled since grade six. Not because I have Adhd or ADD but beacause I am  

Mildly Autistic and severly hyper active. I think the mother is doing the right thing. The kids at school are just gonna beat him up and push him around. I have been bullied myself and its not a nice feeling. Every kid in school is after you just because your different. Sometimes even the teachers and princapals dont defend you either. And the father is right though on some stuff. The kid is gonna miss out. I missed out on alot. I never even had a prom and I never will. But when you weigh the advantages against the disadvantages the advantages end up winning. I wish the kid the best of luck. He is going to need patience,strength,endurance and many other things. I hope he will make it someday.

I agree with this

Quote From: rcmartin

I want to give props to all the hard working moms and dads out there that can balance pleasing their eachother, taking care of the children, taking charge of their everyday household duties and taking care of themselves. It's definetly a hard job and a long one at that. Yes, our husbands may work maybe a eight to twelve hour day but they must understand that a mother's job is never done. We are always on the clock. Our job doesnt end at five oclock and we dont get a paycheck or vacation. I feel that it is only right that a husband should work the same hours as the wife. Men think that it is so easy to go to their jobs and come home and expect a home cooked meal and sex and control of the remote and off to bed they go. I DONT THINK SO! Women try to hold their husbands on a pedestal talking about, "Oh my poor husband works all day long and comes home tired so I need to make sure that he is taken care of," BULL! You are definetly brainwashed if you think that. You need to think of it as your husband coming home to his second job because if it's not rest time for mom, it's not rest time for dad either.

Yes alot of women think that. And yes they are brainwashed. In my opinion I think the women should be put on pedistals. Not the men.

Is it normal?

To some people this maybe normal. But like i said before I dont agree with them calling each other names. I also dont agree with that guy walking around nude in front of his daughter. I think he should take her into consideration. When she starts to learn the difference between a male and a female she is going to start to feel very uncomfertable around her father. I also side with the doughter when she was upset about her mother dateing her uncle so soon after her fathers death.  I think the mother and doughter need alot more time together to talk to each other about exactly how they feel and why without screaming and fighting. I think the mother should back off dateing the girls uncle for a little while longer.  I also think the doughter should back off her mother just a bit. I think the mother should give her doughter more grieving time before she starts dateing again.

I still agree with this 100%. I also noticed alot of feedback when i said women should be put on pedistals not the men. Let me clear up what I ment. I ment as in give the guy all the attenion you know he says jump you say how high kind of thing. I really do think the women should be treated like gold and put on pedistals yes.  And I dont think men are lower then dirt and are spineless. No thats not right I dont belive that. Men and women are equal and should be treated as such. It's ok to do a few things for your husband or bf. But not obey to his every wish and whim like your a severnt.  

And to me the perfect wife would be the one who gets what she needs done look after the kids 

and keep a job and still be sane and happy at the end of the day. To all the women who can clean a house,remember apointments for the whole family and keep a job I salut you! I hope I can do that someday.

Hello

Quote From: whipsawjim

I enjoyed tonite's program.  I thought through the situations, tried to see 'em all from both sides, and got some great insights.  I also got to wondering if my own situation is "normal". 

  

I'm a single dad, divorced almost two years.  My daughter really doesn't want to talk to or spend time with her mom, so she's with me most of the time.  I'm not complaining- I enjoy being her dad, I love spending time with her, and really appreciate this opportunity to help her get ready for the rest of her life.  The thing is that I'm not dating at all.  I'm really not interested in getting into a relationship like my last one, and I'm not sure that any woman would want to date someone who spends so much time either working or just trying to be a good dad that there isn't much time left for anything else.  I don't think it'd be right to ask someone to become the number 2 girl in my life (my daughter will come first until she's on her own way).  Truthfully, I don't really miss dating all that much.  There was always a lot of pressure to look right and act right (but then again, the last time I dated was about 17 years ago).  When my daughter spends the night with a friend (usually decided at the last minute) I go out to eat, read at home, see a movie or go out and listen to music.  I do get lonely for adult companionship once in awhile, but the lonliness goes away in a few minutes- especially if my daughter gives me a hug or tells me she loves me.  That makes it all seem worthwhile. 

  

Is it normal to not be dating, and not miss it?  Any thoughts appreciated. 

Happy Holidays everyone! 

WhipsawJim 

Well it sounds like you have a good relationship with your daughter which is really good.   

I think it is normal to be not dateing and not miss it. It's how you feel. Others may feel different. But were all different and in that were all the same. And if thats the life you want then all the power to you. As they say "to each his own". If you want to date then go for it if not then don't. But if you are going to date disscuss it with your daughter. It may shock her a bit and she may get upset that she might be able to spend as much time with you as she did before.

old flames

I love the elder couple thats great. I hope that woman gets her old flame back. i love happy romantic endings. I agree with dr.Phil that every relationship has hurt. you will get hurt cause we all make mistakes. nobody is perfect. now i've never had a bf in my life.  i never even had a complament from guy face to face. guys just walk by me like im not here. but thats ok. i'll find my special someone someday...i hope. but weather i've had a guy in the past im not gonna say. im gonna keep that privet. but i truly hope and pray that evr=eryone finds true love someday.
