The show reminds me of shop-lifters. People want something but don't want to obtain it honestly and openly.
Right. You might want to think about this in relation to your sich, Lou. For instance, there's nothing wrong with BB honestly and openly wanting a shiny new useless doohickey just like there's nothing wrong with you honestly and openly wanting what you want. I mean my values on the matter are more in alignment with yours but I believe BB would be perfectly justified in saying "I will not stay in a second-hand shop marriage" for the same reason you would be justified in saying "I will not stay in a sexless marriage". If you ponder the reasons why you are so entrenched in your position, you may gain some insight into BB's parallel entrenchment.
