OK - I'm getting better. I used to be a self-help junkie of sorts. This show was contrived and annoying. The couple was annoying. She was nasty and disrespectful to her H. He continually escaped via riding his motorcycle (big suprise). I made it about 15 minutes into the show, turned it off, went to bed with H (who was in bed early for a change) and had a chat before we went to sleep. He has a summer cold and is frustrated as h*ll with a couple of our kids. His guy trip is next week and I'll be waving in the driveway with a happy smile - he needs to go.
The point is, in the past I would have watched the whole show hoping for some magic tidbit that would turn my sitch around. When I could persuade H to watch those shows he would just chuckle knowingly feeling glad that we aren't like that while I would see a few similarities in nearly every situation. I'm better now. I watch some of this kind of thing, read some self help books - if they are stupid or irrelevant I turn the tv off or quit reading the book.
