(going on the fact this man is a rabbi)

So How this guy ended up with 8 children is now apparent. Probably no LAM to space them and using his wife's body whnever he pleased because his ignorant brain tells him "it's his because he married it." That thought right there is dangerous.

Breastfeeding does NOT break-up marriages. It's men who treat women as sex object rather than the human being GOD made them to be. A woman was made to breastfeed BY GOD, them feeling nice during sex was an added bonus for men, otherwise, Enfamil would have been what Jesus ate instead of Mary's breastmilk.


Quote: Obviously, breast-feeding is not the same as carrying on an extramarital affair. But when a mother gives her breasts to her son and takes them away from her husband, the effect on the marriage can feel the same.

If this is truly the case then why do marriage still fail without children and without breasts being used as milk banks for babies?!

Seriously if Breastfeeding is what caused your marriage to break up then there were WAY more serious problems then that! The more likelie cause I'd have to venture to say would be Self-centeredness, egotistical, mesoginistic, and low self-esteem Such low self-esteem in a man could only result in a man being jealous of a baby getting nutrition from a God Made and GOD Endorsed product! Hell not even formula can boast such a lable!!

FDA report:
55.9% of American moms breastfeed in the hospital
19% still breast feed when baby is 6 months old


The Census Bureau's often-cited "50%" rate, the proportion of marriages taking place right now that will eventually divorce, which has since been revised downward to roughly 43% by the National Center for Health Statistics but was moved back up to around 50% by the Census Bureau in 2002, with even more ifs ands and buts than usual. Most recently, according to the New York Times, it has been revised downward to just over 40%.

So even if you took the stats to extremes and said that of the 19% still BF caused 20% of the 50% divorce rate then how would you still account for the other 30% of divorce? But since we are living proof that those of us married or in relationships and are BF and still with our partner even after several kids, then the fact remains that BF doesn't cause divorce. Insecurities and other deep seeded problems cause divorce. Mainly LACK OF COMMUNICATION!

If a man can't say what he feels or ask for more attention then it's not the BF baby's fault now it is.

Then this self-centered man tries tackling birth!!


Quote: I believe this same problem comes up when men witness childbirth up close. There are certain poses in which a husband should not see his wife. By all means, be there for the entire labor, as I have been for the births of each of my eight children. But I strongly agree with the advice of the ancient rabbis that husbands should not be staring at the actual delivery. That is just too erotic a part of a wife's anatomy for it to become a mere birth canal.

Again it all goes back to being self-centered. 'How dare a baby de-sexualize the vagina for me?!' Where the HELL do you think Jesus came out from?! it certainly wasn't from a c/s! They weren't even INVENTED yet!

I mean what an overly ignorant thing to spout off. Seriously if my husband became desexualized by birth then I certainly wouldn't have had 6 children with him. Unassisted birthed with him, him having caught 4 of them himself.

Just as a man's penis serves 2 purposes - for sexual pleasure/reproduction and for urinating.

Should a man stop urinating, and, say, install a foley catheter, so as to not "desexualize" his penis in the eyes of his wife? :-o

On another note to this if it desexualized men SOOO MUCH then why are most OB/GYN's MEN, usually married themselves and have children themselves too? Hmm seems like that little opinion has been debunked!

To sum up my impression of Schmuley . . .moron, idiot, ignorant, self centered, self righteous, pompus, airbag, likes listening to his own voice, sorry excuse for a man, and even worse excuse for a "marriage counselor".

I will no longer watch his show now that I know how he truly feels about women.

Marriages don't break up because of breastfeeding, they break up because men are idiots!
