Last week, I was cooking dinner and listening to TV youngest son had left on his TV on and Dr. Phil was on. I stopped cooking to go watch because I heard this couple that sounded SO MUCH like H & I!
Wife would tell Husband, "I love you". Husband would say, "Uh-huh". Wife would ask, "Do you love me?" Husband would tell here that he'd keep coming home every night as long as his tools were still in their garage. Another Stone Man!
Dr. Phil told Husband that his reluctance to be vulnerable and his putting up a "strong, invulnerable act" was immature and that he was emotionally starving his wife. Dr. Phil said an emotionally starved wife was like a lion in the jungle. A well-fed lion is content and won't mess with you even if you walk right by it. A hungry lion will chase you down. If you can make it to your car, it will chase down your can, roll down the window, pull you out and EAT YOU!
Dr. Phil talked about how he'd almost lost his wife because of this same behavior and that he'd had to reevaluate what it meant to be a strong man if he wanted to save his marraige.
I called up my H and told him the whole Dr. Phil thing. We were laughing about me definately being a hungry lion.
