Since MIL and FIL took DD tonight because I wasn't feeling a 100% and was overly exhausted..a hot shower refreshed me..I was watching Dr. Phil..Tonight he had on a man who had cheated on his wife a record 19 times in 14 years..To make matters worse, he cheated on her with her best friend and got them both pregnant at the same time! He said he was torn between both women and that he didn't know who he wanted..And that he had still been sleeping with the best friend..The wife didn't want to leave him because of the children..His "girlfriend" wanted him to leave his wife so that they could be together..And then she in a way justifies the affair by saying that since they were in love with one another, it made it ok..That she wasn't the "other woman," but his girlfriend...And that if he chose to stay with his wife, he wouldn't have access to his child with her..That her husband begged her not to come on the show and she was sure he was going to leave her..She didn't have the strength to leave him...But she wasn't sure if she wanted the guy she'd been sleeping with..He insists that he hasn't slept with anyone else, but that he's been talking to another woman that she knew about..That there was a list of 40 woman he had either slept with or talked to..But most of them, he said, didn't count as affairs because he didn't sleep with them..Can you believe the jerk?! Why don't both women leave him? He's an ass!

I just cannot fathom airing my dirty laundry in front of millions of viewers but apparently, there are enough people who think that's just a swell idea. As for that poor woman and her philandering husband....Good Luck. They'll need it.

I just think that good common sense is at such a premium in this day and age, that it's refreshing to hear someone actually espousing it again!

Personally, I always feel like I need a good bath after watching a few minutes of Jerry Springer. LOL! I'm sooo ashamed.
