Like probably a lot of people, while anticipating the Dr. Keith Ablow "143 I Love You" segment, I was secretly hoping that Christine Governale would break down and confess that her emotional friend was in fact a sexual friend. But that's before I heard her side of the story.


Originally, I had thought that she was probably tired of Sal's antics and had found someone more serious, more successful, and more emotionally available, but she just didn't have the wherewithal to leave her kids and her husband. Now I think we can all agree that it goes so much deeper than that. These two both sound like complete emotional cripples, with long-rooted dysfunctional family traits. In fact, now I believe that there is little chance that she had anything more than an emotional relationship with this guy because she seems so childlike.


I'm betting these two won't get over their deficiencies, but does that mean that they won't stay together? No, way. They are in it for the long haul.

Jenny to be honest this is so hard for me, I have contacted the show on several occasions, and I just cannot bare to see anymore nonsense about Sal and Christine. My husband was the emotional friend, and we have children as well which they fail to a offer to the show, I guess that makes it sound less interesting. This friendship went on for quite sometime. At this point Christine is using it to gain popularity for herself in the public eye, ( paid tv shows, magazines) My entire family and life has been torn apart and every time there is a new show I have to hear someone rehash about it. She was just as wrong as my husband, but I think it's time to move on and let people put their lives back together. Why don't you ask Christine where her big job was that her children would be with her. It wasn't a job. She may consider it to be that she's just to embarassed to say so on air. She is not what she seems, she put me through a very horrible time, you shouldn't feel too sorry for her.

Hello, I'm sorry that all of this happened to you and your family.

Just to clear things up a little, I don't feel sorry for Christine, and she was wrong in befriending your husband to the extent she did. It does seem like both she and Sal have not allowed themselves to be emotionally close, and she looked elsewhere for that kind of intimacy. As I said, she seems to be emotionally underdeveloped, and she clung to a strong entity, which, unfortunately, happened to be your husband.

I agree also that she might be using this experience to gain monetarily. I was actually quite shocked when I heard that she and Sal were paid $10,000 to do the Keith Ablow "therapy" session. Also, it was reported that she's going to be featured in a new online magazine. The Governales often seem to have trouble making ends meet so she's probably taking advantage of the opportunity.

What you're saying about Christine not meeting your husband at work makes a lot of sense, and I hadn't considered it. I think I remember Sal saying that she doesn't actually work.

I'm curious as to what happened when you contacted the show. Did you ask that they not speak about the situation anymore? What was the response? Also, I'm wondering why you are still being impacted by the discussions on the show. Can you and your husband just not listen to Howard Stern anymore or is there more to it?

Hi Jenny,
Thank you for responding. I know I should not pay any attention to the show, but unfortunately, I have many people who know of the situation constantly reporting back to me when something pertaining to the situation is brought up. My friends are very protective of me and know how sensitive this subject is and they actually lived through it with me in the " Real Life" and when they hear how it is reported on the show it is very upsetting. When I spoke to the show I did request that they put an end to the subject, adding how false some of the information was and how she went way beyond the 143, I saw it with my own eyes many times, and I didn't have to hire a private detective. I definitely do not watch or listen to the show, I think it is repulsive, I always have but even more so know. As far as putting this behind me it is very hard, the Governales live very nearby and unfortunetly latey we have been bumping into each other weather it be on the road or in a public forum. Seeing her only opens up the wounds. Hopefully we will all be able to work through it and put it behind us. I am certainly trying.
