The Best of The Oprah Show: Dr. Phil Helps Controlling People | Full Episode | OWN 

Absolutely agree!!

He is a wimp!

Some men want to be dominated by a woman. The reason? Well, Dr. PHIL brought up the.....keeps John from having to think!!! Part of this is he doesn't have to use his brain! Laziness? She does pretty much everything? Sounds like it. So when things go south he can just blame her!!! Also, I grew up with a controlling mother. No father around. Now my mother wasn't as bad as Rochelle. I was used to being told what to do, How to do it, Where to do it, When to do it. And there was no questioning her or else you would go through hell!!! My mother didn't care about your opinion. My mother never bat down or apologize or admitted.Fault so you just quit trying. I grew up that way so that's how my other relationships ended up being ..until.... I got jobs and my bosses started talking to me, They did not like my mother and they told me why. But I remember in high school that I used to tell my friends how I never wanted to grow up to be like my mother. I hated that woman much of the time. I did not know how to act any other way until I saw other people acting differently. I grew up at home mostly alone. My brothers were working to supportt the family. Again, I really had no socialization. Out of high school.I had poor socialization skills. I was used to being told what to do and with my mother again was used to not saying anything but just doing whatever she said. I had to learn, relearn how to live in society. I talked to friends, I started going to church, and observing how people related to each other And of course it was so different than what I grew up with. I think that there is the possibility that John does not love his wife. Who knows. But he must be getting something positive. ???? Or he wants to leave and doesn't have the guts to do it. Who's bringing in the money? Would he be able to make it on his own financially ?? other or anything else??? Could he actually make it without her? He obviously would have to have a new normal but he may not be able to handle a new normal. And my question is, why is she so cotton picking controlling? Where did this come from? Why is this woman acting like this? She learned it from somewhere most likely? . Are her parents like this?

Completely right thier...tines have changed since then...thiers no 'man up' rules anymore..he's afraid of her..he couldn't speak up to her..couldn't watch it all as they went about things completely wrong

I think they're just trying to have him accept this isn't normal and he doesn't deserve to be treated that way. They most likely think she's a lost cause so they're focusing on him.

They already spent an episode on her! Now they are trying to get him to wake up. At least that’s my understanding of it.

. -&& 90s and 2000s was the best episodes of oprah from the book club to the angel network from Erin kramp and George Dawson . . My God my God ii miss Oprah . . .❤❤❤❤

I would bet the ranch on it that they are.

people need to stop using that description, the stockholm syndrome. patty hearst, the first "stockholm" victim, the one that robbed the bank with her kidnappers, said that she hates that term, that she always knew she was in danger, always knew her kidnappers were her kidnappers; she only went along because she needed to stay alive, not because she was relating to her kidnappers

Omg calm down😂 they spent a whole episode ripping her apart and letting her know how horrible she was.

@@karahupp4589 I am calm its called an opinion 🤣

It was never about the soda nor the balloons.

They checked back with them like over a decade ago. They were still married then. A couple with no children. By choice. Apperantley the advice helped them. Curious to know if they're together today too :-)

What commercials?

0 as in he's won nothing and 400 how many times she's gotten her way. A score basically

Means she’s won every argument, he’s given in every time

@@Claire-cc7lb Thank you Claire, I get it now! x

😳

No u

Maybe you don’t get the point because you can’t see past the cringe from a modern day perspective.

Pathetic

Really?

Why are you watching?

I wonder what he does for work
