Here is Another Thing.

When I'm sick at home I always check to see what's on Dr. Phil. Yesterday was no exception, other than I watched the whole hour. Of Dr. Phil. Holy trainwreck.

Do you know what an urban cougar is?

I had no idea.

But I DID know about this site. It's too bad you have to become a member to look at profiles, because I could waste hours there.

My question is - why, as part of a relationship such as this, would you go on Dr. Phil to be publicly ridiculed? I mean, these couples obviously weren't ashamed of their relationships, and I don't think they should be (well, maybe the dude dating the 18-year-old who may or may not have been legal when they met) - they are single, consenting adults who believe that they're in love.

Does love conquer all? Like 20+ year age differences? Like being at completely different points in life? (Um, yeah - totally agreed with Dr. Phil on that one, to my chagrin)

Why would you want to start out with the odds stacked against you when marriage is such a crapshoot to begin with?

And why would you give your girlfriend your dead wife's Mercedes for her high school graduation? More to the point - why would you, as the girlfriend, accept it?

Trainwreck.
