- November 28, 2014
As much as couples hope that their happily ever after never ends, it's a sad reality that marriages sometimes hit a rut that puts them in jeopardy of ending. Unfaithfulness, infertility, and other marital issues are just some of the reasons that couples get driven apart and on the brink of divorce. And when everything else fails, a couple's relationship is put through the ultimate test when it comes to surviving temptations, such as paying for sex.
In Maury season 22 episode 167, titled "If My Husband Paid for Sex, I Want a Divorce!," individuals find themselves in a difficult situation where their marriage and loyalty are being tested. Some couples have already gone through it, while others are currently struggling with the implications of having paid for sex. Either way, they're here to get answers, to find out if their own suspicions are justified or if they're just being paranoid.
Host Maury Povich is no stranger to playing the mediator and instigator in figuring out quirky and controversial couples' issues. Throughout the show, Maury meets individuals who've put themselves and their relationships in harm's way, thanks to their indiscretions and secrecy. Some may say that the Maury show is all about drama, and this episode promises to ramp up the stakes when it comes to these couples' quarrels.
Among the couples on the show, one woman is suspicious that her husband is spending their hard-earned money on prostitutes and escorts. She's had enough and is looking for proof before she decides to file for divorce. Another woman is looking for answers after finding out that her husband had run into an ex-prostitute with whom he had spent money on before they even met. She wants to know why he's spending money that could be going towards their family and children on paying for sex. Another couple also finds themselves in a similar situation where they just can't seem to put the past behind them. In this case, the husband had paid for sex before they got married, but the secret is slowly eating away at his wife, who is now uncertain about her future with him.
With every disputable issue, there are multiple sides to each story, and the Maury episode gives each party an opportunity to air their dirty laundry and accusations. The husbands claim that they have all been unfairly portrayed and misunderstood by their wives, and in some cases, they deny the accusations altogether. They claim that their wives' suspicions and accusations are unfounded and baseless, which in turn only infuriates them more.
On the other hand, the wives tell a completely different story. They're angry, hurt, and embarrassed that their husbands would choose to spend their hard-earned money on paid sex. Some even feel like the ultimate victim in the situation, as their husbands' infidelities have not only put their marriage to the test, but their own self-esteem and trust in their partner are now wavering.
Throughout the show, Maury's main goal is to bring closure to each story. He consistently urges everyone to be open and honest about their intentions, avoid being defensive, and do everything they can to save their marriage. When all is said and done, the couples are given a chance to learn from their mistakes and find a resolution to their problems, whether it's through forgiveness, counseling or by parting ways.
Maury season 22 episode 167 is a perfect example of the high stakes and emotional turmoil that comes with relationships. By having individuals air out their problems and seeking help, the show offers a glimmer of hope in finding a resolution to their problems, no matter how big or small. It's an excellent reminder that even when the stakes are high, there is always an opportunity to work towards a better future.
