Well in my opinion I believe your husband feels you are going to Dr. Phil for help instead of him, but if he is like most men, they do not help anyway.  Have you talked to counselors before about your feelings?  I think you need to find a good friend or a counselor to get this out and have someone to talk to about it.  I don't think it is healthy to go back to older harder times always, but sometimes it is good, it is just what we need Women need to cry sometimes, now when I say sometimes I am not referring to everyday ;) I hope one day you can let the past go some. Hope you find someone that you can talk to also. Goodluck

He's insane. My husband and I guess that it will come out that he is an opiate addict or crackhead at some point. He has all of the traits of a serious drug addict. However, let's focus on the little boy thing. That alone earns Whackey Jackie a certifiably insane card, that is, if you consider pedophilia a mental illness which I do.

Good Lord No way!!!!  My poor hubby works 12 hour days as well as Saturdays.  He comes home so tired and worn out but he still makes time for me and our son.  Sundays he spends mowing lawns, and weeding, and working on our vehicles.  My poor man goes thru torture every day just so I can be a stay at home mom!  If I did switch places it would be so he could stay home for a day and relax on the couch watching Dr.Phil!!!!  He deserves it!  I would not want to have his day!!!!

I'm sure you've gotten plenty of help on this one but has any one suggested that he get a physical, maybe he is suffering from depression, or blood pressure problems, or sugar problems, I know with me if my sugar goes up I can be easily irritated and become angry in a flash, my blood pressure will also shoot up at that time, I'm not trying to defend him , only looking at it openly!

Stupid No, lonely, yes.\n\nYou could seek the help of your doctor to find out what it is that is making your life so topsy turvy.\n\nBut men, well they are as hard to understand as us women.\n\nIt sounds as if you are divorced or seperated from the husband and that has your life in a whirl.  It is hard to adjust to such changes and they can effect a person in so many ways.  So for yourself, seeking the help of a professional would be wise.

ok, if you have to ask then you already know. NO IT"S NOT RIGHT!!!! Ugh, you are destroying your own family out of selfishness. Women like you are called house-breakers. Ever heard of that? Your husband obviously loves you, he married you!! It's clear that the feeling isn't mutual though. You are causing so many problems for yourself and you don't even know it. I feel sorry for your husband...he deserves better and you deserve a reality check. Wake up....you're wrong!

Lol, that is too funny! When did this happen?I didn't even know Dr.Phil was called by Bush, but Bush does definitely need some mental help! With all these problems and money he's causing us I'm sure he needs therapy to get through it. Poor guy{sarcastically} I can't stand Bush, I can't even listen to his voice, I gotta change the channel! I can't wait until he's out of presidency!

I am on the fence regarding Dr.Phil. I think that as far as him being a "diet guru" he doesnt hold any water, as a matter of fact I think he attacks peoples self esteem issues in that setting. Not everything can be taken care of with the tough love approach. He does have some valid points regarding society and a general lack of self control, but it is just that.....general.\n\nHowever, I feel like he is a very, very in touch addiction counselor. I am a recovering addict, with just over 5years clean and I totally agree with the way he addresses addiction. He's a pretty decent family counselor as well, I like the way he addresses accountability and doesnt allow for finger pointing.

If I were you, I'd try to talk to him about this strange behavior...Have you done that? This isn't normal, and possibly he might be depressed..It sounds like he is getting in way over his head, in "talking like saints" as you say. Is he obsessed about something? It seems like it..\nIt's normal to sometimes think about "finding" ourselves, but I think he is a bit obsessed about it, and possibly a bit dillusional...I hope that talking about it will help. Good luck.

To be treated like a child is definitely not fair!  The typical first response is to confront him and to retaliate, that is pretty much what everybody else has said here.  However, rather than creating conflict, I would try a more discrete tactic.  First of all, thank him for the notes, he will be dumbfounded, and you will definitely get his attention, but there won't be a conflict.  Secondly, try do more that what he writes down on the list, that will definitely impress him, and make him question the necessity of the notes.  If you can't think of any additional things to do beyond his list, then call him up and tell him that you are done with the list, and if there is anything else that he could think of that needs to be done, if you can't call him, then ask him when he gets back home!  Basically this will show him that you are proactive, and want to have things done just as much as he does, and even more by doing additional things or asking him for additional things.  I realize that I am not giving you an easy answer but in real life there is no easy answers, and no easy people to deal with.  Life is hard, and it's a struggle.  And unfortunately marriages have to be built, and rebuilt, and worked on being improved and enjoyable!  The good thing that your husband has going for him, is that the has you for his wife, he is very fortunate indeed!  Hope this helps!

Was he that way before you married him? If so, why would you expect it to be different now?\n\nIf he wasn't, then--as said above--you've probably run rampant at home and he doesn't feel the need, or is trying to "balance" the situation. Could also be med/psych reasons too.

I love Dr. Phil (and he really is a Dr of psychology) I've been watching him since he started on Oprah's on Tuesdays! I love how he lays it on the line (although he was much more blunt on Oprah...gotta reign it in to keep from being confused with the Jerry Springer Show I guess ;-D). I would sure hate to catch it from him myself on national TV though!

You really need to send him to a good psychiatrist. This is something that is really dangerous. If he gets too crazy, he might turn out like one of those kids who kills people at school or their parents.

He has some serious problems with control. I would think if this is the way I wanted to live. He has no right to tell you that you can't do something. He is your husband not anything else. K

Girl you need to do whats right for you and your kids.If you feel like he's not taking you seriously then you have to figure out if its really a problem for you if so you need to let him know this is how you feel, and if he's still acting like he don't care then girl get up and do it.I know he's your husband but don't let nobody stop you from doing something you want to do.Sounds like he trying to keep you on lock..
