Shared by Jezebel.com, Melissa Gorga of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" has written a book that has revealed an assortment of highly questionable anecdotes about her marriage to her husband Joe, and how her marital advice is considered to advocate marital rape.
From one of the excerpts (from her husband Joe) as shared by Jezebel:
Presumably, Joe appears throughout the book to give a husbands side of things as to what makes a happy marriage.
I've seen various "how-to" books on what makes a happy marriage, and many of them follow a focus on IMO infantilizing one or both of the spouses and catering to insecurities or spoiling them to the point where one spouse walks on eggshells to avoid an angry outburst. I don't know about the good folks here at RF, but marital advice like that turns my stomach.
Some other thoughtful bits of advice given by Mrs. Gorga are:
Give him attitude. Sheesh. Sounds like her husband Joe can't handle somebody who is peeved with him. And especially when he hasn't had sex in a couple of days.
And...
There's plenty more from the book shared in the above link for your reading pleasure or as a source for indignation.
If this book made to a publisher, and that publisher agrees to print and distribute to the masses, then an average writer like myself stands a chance at writing her Mystic Manifesto someday and maybe banking at least a six figure contract.
My rant is over. Share your thoughts?

Men, I know you think your woman isn't the type who wants to be taken. But trust me, she is. Every girl wants to get her hair pulled once in a while. If your wife says "no," turn her around, and rip her clothes off. She wants to be dominated.
Women don't realize how easy men are. Just give us what we want.

In the beginning, Joe wanted to have sex every single day, at least once, if not twice or three times If I didn't give it to him once a day, he'd get upset.
I can do something that ****es him off on a Monday, but if we had sex on Sunday night, it blows over more easily. But if we haven't done it for two days and I give him attitude? It could be a huge fight.

When gender roles are confused, sexual roles are, too. If he's at the sink and then changing diapers, then who throws down in the bed? In our marriage, Joe is always the man, doing masculine things. I'm the woman, and I do the female things, including housework.
