I watch FOX news in the background of my daily activities: while writing, working out, knitting, whatever.  I like being informed and enjoy the guests and commentary from their witty staff.  Today they had Dr. Laura on Hannity and Colmes to discuss the hypocrisy that is Ex-Governor Spitzer (Democrat – NY-Pledged Super Delegate to Hillary Socialist Clinton).  I have heard her a few times and did not really have an opinion on her one way or another.  She provides therapy and really decent advice to people who seek her out and I respect that.  

So, Hannity is talking to Dr. Laura about men cheating and the reasons they cheat.  Dr. Laura drops this: Men cheat for two reasons: either they are jerks/bipolar/issues or because they have wives who do not properly “feed” their husbands.  

I love her.

I have been saying this for YEARS and have gotten countless people who think that statement is not true.  Bull.  It is SO true. 

I’ll explain:  As a woman, I have needs.  I like knowing my husband finds me attractive, I like how he takes care of home stuff, I like being loved and feeling protected.  I love that my husband provides me with those things.  He’s a total rock!  If I need anything, he’s there to help me.  I have a great man.

Now, men have needs too.  Dr. Laura points out that men’s needs, no matter how you want to look at it, probably fall into a few categories.  Men want food, nurturing, a good mother for their children, and physical intimacy.   You like it so much when your husband meets your needs, well newsflash: he has needs as well!

She goes into more depth talking about how part of loving something is wanting it to be happy (sometimes you may not want to do something, but he does so maybe you should, etc).  It makes sense.  It is totally logical.  I mean – really!?  You need to give to get and you can not have a successful marriage if you are a selfish witch! It makes sense!

I just wanted to share that.  I thought it was funny and ironic and I am now a slight fan of Dr. Laura because she tells people things that despite the fact that they seem logical and obvious, so many people screw this point up that her pointing it out makes me smile.  She did it on FOX with Hannity, so I went from happy at the comment to liking her for that fact.

I am a Republican.  Deal.
