Maureen and Raymond are a middle-aged couple who have been married many years. They seem affectionate, and Maureen often refers to “my Raymond.” They enjoy being together, including fishing and camping. Their problem? Maureen seems to disregard Raymond’s continued embarrassment by talking publicly about his constipation problems, whether they are in a supermarket line or talking directly to millions of Americans.
Can this marriage be saved? What advice can we often to Maureen and to Raymond?
[Freudian]Perhaps he has unresolved issues with his mother. After all, everyone knows that Milk Of Magnesia = MOM, and the mother is often the primary figure in toilet training. He seems to be holding in anger symbolically, expressing it via these constipation episodes.[/Freudian]
I think he has unresolved issues around his latent exhibitionism. He wishes he were free enough to talk about his constipation, and vicariously enjoys Maureen’s uninhibited ability to talk about it.

I think he should start telling everyone they know about Maureen’s masturbation sessions in the bath and see how she feels. This woman is clearly clueless.
Mel.
Maureen is the one talking, right? (from some of the responses above, it would appear that I’m not the only one to have experienced doubts when parsing the sentence).
Perhaps he should trump her, by saying “yes, it is a real problem, look!”, dropping his trousers and straining energetically.
Or maybe he should merely turn, smile and say “Shut the fuck up, dearest”.
