Oprah is even more wrong

Yesterday I wrote a post about Oprah saying why she never got married. I said that I disagreed with Oprah and why.

Last night, I got back to my apartment and flipped on the TV. Oddly enough, Oprah happened to be on, and the first words out of her mouth were, "...and that's why I never got married."

The exact lines I'd seen in the ad for her show that led to my post. I had to laugh.

I watched a little bit of the show to see the context in which she made the comment. She was talking to Kristen Armstrong, Lance Armstrong's ex-wife. Kristen just wrote a book, so she was on the show. She was talking about her marriage and said, "I lost myself." She said that she gave up who she was within the marriage. Oprah responded by saying, "That's why I never got married. I never wanted to lose myself."

As if that weren't enough, another author/psychologist who just wrote a book on marriage talked about her failed five-year marriage. "Two becoming one was part of my fantasy, and in doing so I ceased to exist."

How sad is that?

On top of that, Oprah responded to that comment by saying, "It's the twenty-first century and we still think this works."

So, somehow two can't become one in the 21st century?

Pitiful.
