Did you see Oprah today?

I found the woman married to a doctor disturbing. She is selling her soul for the Mrs. Dr. Her husband has a problem Either he is gay or asexual. Either way this marriage is doomed.

1. I guess I'll have to take your word for it! You are saying that the doc

came across as flaming or something, so you are concluding that the wife is either a "beard" for him, in it for the money, or both?

2. No they are married for 6 years

have 2 kids and she has always been unhappy. They have sex maybe once a month. They have been in therapy since the beginning.\

3. Asexual would be my take

on this situation.

4. Are they attractive, average, unattractive? I mean, people change their

appearance after marriage sometimes, can be a problem.

5. If this has been a problem for them from the start, I don't

think appearance is the issue. Besides, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder, so what you or I may find attractive or unattractive may be, probably will be, different for others.

9. Agreed on both counts

I think he is asexual and she has known it from the beginning. I know 3 adults that are. They are all boomers and have never had a personal, intimate sexual relationship and have no interest in one.

7. Isn't that the average American marriage?

6. I saw it all except for the interview with the doc himself

I am angry I missed that small part. How did he come off? I liked the part about the young woman who had to buy the stuff too. I hope she gets better

8. There was no interview with the Dr

She just talked about what was going on in their marriage. WHY do people go on national TV with stuff like this? They are in therapy, what is Oprah going to do for her. As for the young gal; I wish they talked more about 'the hole' she has in her that her mother identified. America is all about 'stuff' and no one asked her about her education, job, personal relationships.
