Man Woman Truth Radio Monday, July 30, 2012: Boundaries and Big Brass Balls

Hey everyone, we’re baaaaaaaack!

After an extended absence, Man, Woman, Truth Radio will return to BlogTalkRadio on Monday, July 30, at 9:00 pm, Eastern Time. U.S., which is July 31 at 2:00 am in the city hosting the Olympics and July 31, at 11:00 am in Brisbane.

SHOW PAGE

On this show, we will be talking about big, brass balls, and the men who can employ their use with lazy, high-conflict, manipulative women who have a tendency to suck men dry, but not in a good way.

A couple weeks ago, I published a story about a man, Earl, who reached his limit of Crazy and Lazy, and decided that he was not going to take it anymore. To read Earl’s tale, please follow this link:

Brass Balls Award: Husband Sets Boundaries with Slacker Wife and Tells Her to Grow Up and Get a Job

Earl sets a sterling example of the resolve it requires to take this kind of decisive stand. Paul and I will talk more about this case and others where men choose to draw a line from which they will not retreat. We will also discuss the things that prevent a lot of men from having healthy boundaries with women, as well as the dangers of Crazy upping the ante when she is confronted with boundaries, and words like “no.”

We will discuss why the simple act of saying, “NO,” which most of learn during our terrible twos often seems like a harrowing act of high treason when a man tells a woman “no.”

We will also be taking your calls at 310-388-9709, so please call in or Skype in.

    “On this show, we will be talking about big, brass balls, and the men who can employ their use with lazy, high-conflict, manipulative women who have a tendency to suck men dry, but not in a good way…”

    LOL! I am definitely going to be at this show! In all seriousness, I am glad you and Dr. Paul will be back on the air again this week. Red Pill Radio is just not the same without the two of you.

    Hi Dr T, really did appreciate your show and the compassionate response to Earl’s story (both you and Dr Paul). I guess I identified heavily with Earl. After sixteen years of hard toil 75 hour weeks to make my family secure in every sense of the word, and building our home, I decided in 2003 it was time for some me time, started studying part time! We had no debt, so converted my toil to part time. This was after fifteen years and six months (my then wife quit her job six months after we were married), of trying to get her off her lazy and crazy ass, I, like Earl had had enough.

    In 2006 she left, and by 2009 after a life time of toil I was left holding very little to show for it.

    So Earl expect the worst!! And anything better than that is just a bonus for you and the rest of your life!

    As a footnote Dr T I showed a best buddy, Paul Elam’s you tube video (think it was where he was being interviewed at a conference), and my friend said he agreed with everything Paul said, but he commented “I wonder what some woman had done to him to make him think that way,” I couldn’t comment because this man knew my ex, knew her psychiatric history, was there at the hospital with me with her many episodes …. I mean can you explain that? Tell me Dr T why are guys like that??

    Dr T thank you, tell me how I can donate to you guys, I will pledge money monthly, let’s get you guys set up properly, what if we get a fighting fund together to take on your governments family court laws? Every men’s group around the world pools their recourses, take on one country at a time?

    Hope it works out for Earl ….
