Dr. Laura is an alien who uses mind control . . .

So I was perusing a bookstore the other day and found myself in the self-help section - which I admit, I go into from time to time, mostly looking for diet/weight loss books. However, there is a whole section which I avoid (except to mock), regarding relationships. I picked up Dr. Laura's new book and boy, are there some gems in there:

1. avoid interfaith marriage
2. stay together for the sake of the children
3. never say no to a husband who wants sex
4. never insist that a man wash his own dishes

Along with this, were some books on dating - stating that if a man does not ask you to marry him within 30 days, then the relationship is doomed and you may as well not even bother. He apparently doesn't want to be with you.

This scares me - there are a whole lot of women who read these books seriously. How many relationships have ended because of some bullshit that these women read in these books? I don't even take these things seriously, and I was effected just from reading the back summary. And what is with her frighteningly archaic rules for marriage? Why can't a man wash his own dishes? Maybe, and this is a big maybe, I will wash my husband's dishes if his arms fell off. But that's about it. And never say no to your husband if he wants sex?

I had a nightmare today where Dr. Laura analyzed my relationship, yelled at me Judge Judy-style (because I mix them up a lot) and then she told me that I needed to end it because my boyfriend isn't serious about me, ,will never marry me, and I will basically end up alone. Stupid Dr. Laura and her fucking mind control. I have underestimated her powers - she is truly evil and the devil.
