It is just barely possible that the guy who said this is a "dick," but let's consider all the angles here:
With this particular couple, the situation was even worse. Their sex life had died completely, and one of the main causes was the mother's obsession with breast-feeding well into the child's eleventh month. The baby was attached to his mother like a limb, and he even slept with her every night, consigning her husband to a different bedroom.
I told the mother that in being so devoted to her son, she had committed the cardinal sin of marriage, which is to put someone else before her spouse, even if that someone is your child. Furthermore, I said, her obsession had turned one of her most attractive body parts into a feeding station, an attractive cafeteria rather than a scintillating piece of flesh.
In my book "Kosher Adultery," I make the point that infidelity is primarily a sin of omission rather than commission. It is not the bad thing you do that destroys a marriage, but all the good that you fail to do, preoccupied as you are with a sinful relationship that diverts your attention away from your spouse. Similarly, with the example of breast-feeding, a wife who spends a year giving all her emotional and physical affection to the baby has left her marriage a barren wasteland, bereft of romance and affection.
A total tool, yes. But -- well, my wife is currently breastfeeding the 5 1/2-Month-Old. And while our marriage is not really a "barren wasteland," I do see a potential issue.
So let me try this out! "Honey, I note that your maniacal obsession with nourishing our son has turned one of your most attractive body parts into a feeding station, an attractive cafeteria rather than a scintillating piece of flesh! Fix this problem pronto by giving me a blowjob and making me a steak. Otherwise I'll be pretty much forced to cheat on you with a 19 year old stripper."
I can't imagine how that won't go over well! Let me run it by her right now!
Thanks for the relationship advice, wingnut!
