Quote From: jaimie1974Were you watching the same show as me? You believe that Jeffrey's actions were not abusive or threatening? Does that mean that you lock your wife in the basement like Jeffrey; since it isn't abusive in your opinion? Would you get your wife fired from her job and isolate her from friends and family so that you can have her all to yourself?
As for being a bad father....you don't mention that he is a good father, either. A man who spies on his wife in front of their children isn't a good father. A good father doesn't put the children in the middle, but that was what he did. The children don't need to be involved in mom and dad's issues!
I couldn't agree more, in what world do people live in that locking a person in a basement or invading their privacy to the point of listening in on theri private conversations is not abuse? What about denying a person the right to choose whether or not she wants to reproduce? These are not only abusive, but I'm willing to bet that they are criminal. Even if she cheated on him, when normal people are cheated on they are hurt and they either work through it with their partners or they move on to healtier relationships. They don't use it as a license to start acting out their craziest fantasies. Maybe birds of a feather flock together and this fellow's wife should start checking her car for listening devices.
And as for what kind of father he is, I'm afraid that anyone that thinks that a good father abuses the a child's mother doesn't know anything about children. Children fear the lose of their mother's more than anything on this earth. This is a deep instinctual fear and men who use their children in this way are the worst kind of abusers.
A marriage that can be saved, this wasn't a marriage, it was a prison sentence. Give me a break.
