If you were invited on a talk show that was essentially a Dr. Phil meets Jerry Springer?

Question

Okay, so my hubby can't go and wouldn't anyway probably. The show is supposed to be about women sho's husbands work too much and so they don't have sex that much. I'm afraid thet if I do it my hubby will leave me, but at the same time it would be an amazing experience because I've never been anywhere close to L.A. Please contact me if you need more details. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

hrmm...

You've got a bit of decision to make there...

Umm, at the risk of losing your husband, my choice would be not to go. Tell him about it, so at least the issue is raised...

Maybe then you will be able to work out your problems with out an audience... which would be pretty imposing...

Also, if you really want to go to L.A. maybe save for a "dirty weekend" to iginite the ol' flame?...

Good luck!

Answer 2

As far as the quality of both shows goes, Dr Phil wins hands down.. I never really understood why people talked about their personal problems in front of complete strangers... I guess that it is the need to be famous that people have that makes them do such things.. I think that such matters should be discussed behind closed doors.. But then there's no such thing as bad publicity.. I am not surprised that the kind of people who appear on Jerry Springer exist.. It does take all kind of people to make the world.. But it's at the Jerry Springer show where there's an unusual concentration of freaks..

Answer 3

Seeing as how your husband is against the idea, to drag him on stage and air your dirty laundry on national TV may just be fatal to your marriage.
You two have a partnership and this should be discussed amongst the two of you only. It is actually no body's business but your own, you and your husband.
What you may not be seeing here is the negative impact this will have on you two and those close to you, family, friends and colleagues. The excitement of going to LA and being on TV is clouding your judgment, logic and reasoning. Look at the big picture and see how this will affect you both past, present and future. Most people on those shows are not too highly thought of in the public eye. As you want to be in the public eye you better be ready for the repercussions it will bring. Your lives will be open to scrutiny like those of celebrities. Do you really want that? Any skeletons in your closet will be found out and shame will be your only companion. Think about this carefully before proceeding. The lives you save just may be your own. Good luck and I hope you two can work this out together.


BTW, nice hair!

Answer 4

That's the theme seriously? I can't imagine something that diverse without it being a total free-for-all.

Personally, I would be SO upset if my companion went on national tv and complained about the disappointments she had in the bedroom.

If your reasoning is "an amazing experience because I've never been close to L.A.", I don't think you're being completely honest with that answer. If you two have issues with incohesiveness, think what it will be like after the airing of the show. Perhaps something more positive like a marriage counselor would work much better.

Answer 5

You need to find a way to solve the exhibitionist in you. What would possess you to air your private life on national t.v.? Have you heard of something called discretion, privacy? Have respect for your marriage and your husband. I would never go on a show like that, offered tickets or no. If you have dreams of going "hollywood" then you should have addressed those BEFORE you settled down. Make peace with the life you have and move on.

Answer 6

Personally, I wouldn't go anywhere near any type of talk show. Why get on national TV and air your dirty laundry for all to see? Is a trip to LA really worth compromising your marriage? If it's counseling you seek, I am sure there are several in your local area who offer such services in a private setting.

Answer 7

Ask your man first, see what he thinks.
Let him know it's something you want to do. personally there has to be a better way to get your 15 minutes of fame, have you seen the movie " the little black book"
These talk shows are all about ratings they don't care about you, half the stuff is fake.
Be a member of the audience ask some questions.

Answer 8

Look for a different opportunity to go to LA.
Your hubby's libido he will not want made public any more than you want some of your more closely held secrets exposed.
Going on national t.v. and telling everyone " My hubby never has sex with me" is like saying "my hubby can't get it up".

He wil be terrified and think of you as his greatest enemy for humiliating him that way.

Answer 9

Sit down and let hubby know how you fell and go from there.
He may have good reasons why not.
And you could have good reasons on why to.
The big question is is it worth loosing a marriage over.
Most talk shows do make you look stupid. Or like a hill billy.

Answer 10

You may indeed have marital issues that could benefit from counseling, I dunno, but please, PLEASE don't take them out on a TV talk show. Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer-types aren't professional counselors, they're showmen. They're pulling on heartstrings and stirring up conflicts for ratings.

Go visit L.A. for a vacation. Maybe get tickets to watch the talk show. But if you're seriously thinking you have issues that need to be addressed by a therapist, go see an *actual* professional therapist in private.
