I feel for "bully husband's" wife.
WOW! I can't wait to see this upcoming show, and think I have a pretty good idea of what Dr. Phil will suggest. Although my husband was nothing like this bully, he did have issues with my weight (I have since lost it and look pretty good for 53!) which nearly destroyed my self esteem. Words were spoken early in our marriage after the birth of our first son that hurt me immeasurably. My husband obviously didn't find me attractive, so our sexual encounters were far and few between (and always of MY initiation when things did happen). After 23 years of hurting, crying many days when I was alone, and feeling that my marriage wasn't "complete," we are now divorced. Had we stayed married, it will have been 32 years this May. Fortunately, we DID have a normal and very happy "family life" with our two sons, and my husband was good to me in every other way. But, not having that intimate connection with my spouse ate away at me year after year after year...............and then I made the choice to move forward. We remain very close and friendly, and I am very happily married to a man who thinks I am the most gorgeous woman on the planet! hehe Don't give up hope!
