How To Be Selfish by Oprah
Yes it seems I'm only blogging when I need to rant but here I go.
Oprah had a show today with the former Mrs. Armstrong and others bitching about marriage.
Oprah said was that you must listen for God to tell you that you should not get married.
What really was going on was women who lied about everything when dating a man now are getting scared that they can't continue their lies when married.
Kristin Armstrong, who still uses her ex-husbands last name, rather have a single life then grow-up and take care of her family. She gave a list of important things none of which were kids or family.
Being a selfish brat is fine but don't blame marriage or a man on your greed. As for "God Whispers" Oprah should get a statistics book and see reality.
That leads to last nights What About Brian: Sex, Lies and Videotape.
Deena quits her affair but Dave starts his own. Deanna used the same excuses that Oprah tried to legitimize. She said that she lost herself when she got married to Dave and wanted to experience the newness of being with someone else. Selfish, selfish, selfish.
Brian on the other hand is at the end of Marjorie's selfish quest to have a rich good husband and fun boyfriend.
David Blaine: Drowned Alive
He fakes being sick after all these stunts. It's more dramatic then just walking off.
My, haven't we been touchy lately :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't see Oprah or "What About Brian?" I do agree with your sentiments, though. I've been married for 16 years and I know what it is like to lose yourself. Seeing yourself through a new person's eyes can be seductive, but if a woman lost her identity it is her own fault. The key is to find a way to be that old version of yourself within the context of your marriage. The man picked you when you were that person, so he would probably be happy to see her show up again.
