Dr. Laura Schlessinger has never been one to shrink from controversy, and she leaped headlong into one on Monday when she said that if a husband cheats, his wife may share some of the blame.
“When the wife does not focus in on the needs and the feelings, sexually, personally, to make him feel like a man, to make him feel like a success, to make him feel like her hero, he’s very susceptible to the charm of some other woman making him feel what he needs,” the popular psychologist and radio personality said.
More commonly known as just “Dr. Laura,” Schlessinger made the remarks while participating in one of several panel discussions on TODAY dealing with the breaking news that New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer had been connected to a high-priced prostitution ring.

She’s harder on women because on average, women are more childish and more selfish than men.
LOL, it ain’t worked in 33 years!
Neither.
My future wife agrees with you.
So True!
That’s the hard part!
I believe that obstacles are thrown up by both parties as an excuse for other problems that really are easily dealt with.
The kids are awake, the phone is ringing, the dog is standing on my back....you get the drift.
Sex cannot be planned ahead of time, or he will become overheated in anticipation! the best sex is impromptu, just because you NEED IT NOW!
Dealing with the distractions doesn’t disqualify a “quickie” every so often, but quickies should be a pre-cursour for some good old fashioned”Monkey Sex” Later...when things calm down.
really? Where is your facts to support that? I think your wrong and men are more selfish and childish,lol!
You’re really missing out on some “wisdom” from the forum misogynists here....
This is a really interesting post. My husband loves long hair, says the same thing you said in your post concerning hair length.
My hairstylist gets so frustrated with me because I won’t get more than a trim each time.
“And, I personally think it’s a very fair analogy. In abusive relationships the abuser uses the self-doubt, and self-blame of the abused to further control them. It’s outright manipulation.”
You say it’s a fair analogy, but come up the logic that says, “Okay, I’m going to start beating her.” You can’t do it.
On the other hands, “my wife refuses to sexually fulfil me. I have tried being romantic. I’ve tried to go to counseling. Nothing has worked, so I will cheat” is logical. It is an affront to the concept of marriage. It’s self-destructive behavior. It does not at all take into account the feelings of the one who is supposed to mean the most to you in the world. But then you can go back and say the same things about not meeting the physical needs of your spouse...
Yes, cheating a character flaw. It is not generally, however, a character pathology, which beating any other human is.
Check this thread out.
Does the Bible say it is a “sin” for a wife to refuse sex to her husband, or does it just advise against such a practice?
The Bible also unequivocally commands us not to commit adultery, and takes a dim view of adulterers throughout.
I think it works well in any situation where both actually put in significant effort into keeping the home up, which includes bringing home money to the home.
I used to get myself in trouble with the former wife with something like "you remember when you were 16? Well, when you were 16 and didn't have a care in the world, I was 22 and busy mostly in libraries working my butt off so I could learn to make a decent living and be able to buy you all the stuff you seem to need. I was logging hours for your benefit before we even met. So you mop the stupid floor. I have a presentation tomorrow that I need to prepare for, so I can keep getting the checks that you spend on yourself." Didn't go over well, but sure felt good.
It’s in their basic attitude towards life. Women are obcessed with how they feel. THeir feelings are the most important thing in the universe. THey go to shrinks. They take happy pills, pain pills, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers. They are self absorbed. It’s their husband’s/boyfriend’s fault that they feel the way they feel. It’s always a matter of what a man can do for them or what he is failing to do for them. They FEEL they are too important to live on a budget. If anyone even suggest that they spend a little less, they act as though they’ve just had their right to vote revoked. THey demand the right to kill their babies without consulting men, yet at the same time, they demand men support their babies financially if they should choose to not kill it. THey throw temper tantrums like little girls and believe it is a man’s fault for making them FEEL so angry.
I could go on for several pages. Men are just plain not allowed to behave in such childish selfish ways unless they are a total flaming queer in drag. THen it’s acceptable. Why is it then acceptable? Because they aren’t men and thus are not held to the same higher ADULT standard that men are.
Then have the nerve to say that the husband was "abusing" her by making her wear high heels....
Sheesh!
ARGH!
I think the splinters in her butt from her broomstick make her a teensy bit cranky.
And she knows nothing about women or what women need.
Has it every dawned on some men as to why their wives don’t want to have sex with them....
As it...
What’s the point??
