If you were my son, I would advise you thusly.

Go back to your own work. Nice of you to step in when necessary, but you got it running smoothly, now, hire (YOU hire) a general/business manager. After a training period, have him report to you once a week.

You don't need to accompany R to shows and oscar dressings or at any time when she is totally absorbed in the fashion shows or red carpet affairs. If she needs a calming presence, hire a (calm) young intern who would love nothing more than to trail around with R and do her bidding. It's demeaning for you to do it. Supporting your wife is something you can do in many ways, but not when your presence is ignored and not when it demeans you.

Rachel loves you enough to understand that you need to be your own man. Ask her to reverse the situation and understand it as if it were she doing what you've been doing. If she can see it from her own perspective, as if she were you, then she should understand.

Good luck, Rodger, and take care.

You love your wife, you want a family with her, and to create a family fashion empire for your offsprings. It sounds right to me.

Good luck my dear,

Rachel

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of you. Rachel is a awesome and I LOVE the show and I especially LOVE Brad!!!!

Rodger, you should not follow Rachel everywhere, make her go without you.. and have your own life, maybe she will see what she is missing. PS i like the Justin Beiber hair.. you rock it.

Roger, it is so horrible watching how freeked out Rachel gets over her job, she gets so freaked out it is making her sick really really sick, she should be enjoying her job and having fun but she gets so freaked out over each show she only dresses 2 people and she is so freaked out it is making her physically sick. I really worry about her she is so sweet and so beautiful and it hurts me to see her making herself sick and putting this in front of her husband and family, she really needs to put this in perspective and have fun with what she is doing. I wish you both the best but I really hope she can get to where she can put it in perspective and enjoy her work and put everything in perspective. hang in there she is lucky to have you.

As much as I understand how Roger feels, but, he should understanding this is the moment for him and Rachel to shine. I love the idea he suggested to his wife about The House of Zoe via QVC, that could be a multi-million dollar venture, how much money could you make by styling few celebrities, I could tell their expenses are huge. Roger, you should just go ahead making it happened.

Roger, get rid of the hair. It's 2010 not 1970.

Roger sounds like...Taylor.

Brad and Rachel are fun to watch because they look like they are having fun.

Roger, I come from the other side of this. I am a woman that is married to a man that is married to his job. I empathise with you so very much> I am sure that she loves you and I hope that you two are in it for the long haul.
If you want kids, then my best advice is to have them now! mine are 21 and 22 and they are the Loves of my life! I had them very young and I grew up with them. If there was a way to go back and change that I would NOT! You can never have the PERFECT time to have children so tell Racheal to stop trying to. Its that simple! Best wishes

Whine...whine...whine....Why dont you get a real job then start whining.

Are you going to be okay with Rachel if she doesn't want a baby?

Rodger ... I feel for you I really do. But one never knows where one's career will take them and if you didn't have that all important talk about babies, family, careers, etc., then you shouldn't be too surprised that Rachel is only about clothes and her business....she doesn't strike me as someone who is maternal (replace the "n" with "i" and I think that pretty much says it all) and wouldn't be an attentive mother .. she seems very self absorbed to me. If you really want a family maybe you need to pull up stakes and move on to someone who wants what you want.

love u dude!!!!!!!!!!! hang in there

love you, love the a show, you have alot of patience
be nice to your wife.

I'll probably be censored(again!) but I'm going to try anyway. Rodger, why on earth do you whine so much??? I am not enjoying you at all this season! Do you know how freaking lucky you are? Your wife has a successful business! You travel! You get your hair cut AT YOUR HOME!You appear to have the best of everything! Do you know how many people in this country work just as hard as Rachel and for so very little in return? For the love of heaven, man, stop complaining, stop trying to force your wife to have a baby, stop for a moment and show some gratitude!

Rodger, you are a very handsome, caring guy and a great husband. Hopefully you can convince Rachel to have a more well rounded and grounded life, that is more meaningful and real for yourselves as a family. Rachel is very talented in the fashion world but she really needs to realize that the actresses she dresses are not to be idolized, they are just people with real lives and kids, and that Rachel needs to have a real life and kids beyond just the dresses and the superficial five minutes here and there with actresses and designers and parties. How many fashion shows can a person attend - she needs to see a Broadway show where people actually speak and communicate thoughts and ideas, and then dinner with friends. Happy New Year!

You are her rock However, you do have feelings... I so glad you find a way to stay saine for her sake and yours. p.s. the lady fellas can be katty so rember there cat nip... keep a g.q. mag or a gossip rag and you can keep them at bay .. Most will say this is sooo untrue !!!
but they lie . also keep a snack or get a chef she has the dream team you should get a betty crocker make sure she is over weight never trust a thin cook.

Roger, this is so typical men. If it's not about you, you're ready to bolt. Do you know how many hours I've spent sitting in a car with crying hungry kids while my husband did his "job". Women do this everyday. Attend stupid dinners and social events to help their husband's career. Your Mr. Zoe dude, get over it

Roger,
You have the patience of "Jobe". Rachael is a very lucky woman and here's hoping she get's "preggers" and you get that little bundle that you both deserve. I agree with you that it would put balance back in your lives....good luck!!

I think you are great Rodger! I love your patience, easy going attitude and yet realisitic business sense. Rachel is fortunate to have you supporting her business goals. Listen to her when she says "it doesn't work that way in my industry". Integrity is not a word that exists in the fashion industry. Sad but true. Best of luck as you build this brand as a team. My family is rooting for you all (except Taylor, so not nice but neither was she)! Love Love Love Rachel on QVC! The whole Zoe team rocks!

Man up

Roger I'm begging you to get rid of the Justin Biebar hair.
Please your killing me with that...

It says online that you are "currently the President of Rachel Zoe Inc., Berman handles all finance, legal and employee oversight." So if you have this job and it's a good one why do you complain so much. If you don't like to be part of the fashion day to day then maybe you should go back to your previous profession. We like you both very much but don't wine about your wifes success. That's her job.

I am sorry that Rodger is so unhappy.
Maybe he should look for employment outside of the fashion industry since he is soooooo sick and tired of hearing about dresses.
If Rachel is not into having a baby, he is probably out of luck. I think her business is her baby and can't imagine when she would find time to be pregnant let alone care for a baby, not to mention her seemingly fragile health. How would she endure pregnancy?
Poor Rodger, to be on the show playing second fiddle, to everyone and everything and then winding up w/ how sick of it all he is feeling.
