“When I think I’ve seen it all, then I get a wake-up call,” Dr. Phil says of his guests who are involved in a very intense relationship. Jeffrey's obsession with his wife, Jennifer, has careened out of control during their 11-year marriage. He says he loves her so much he goes to extremes to watch her every move. He's tracked her with a GPS device, listened to her phone conversations, trapped her in their home and alienated her from her friends and family. But is there something more sinister Jeffrey's done that he's been hiding? Jennifer says she's ready to leave her controlling and jealous husband once and for all. Has she been up to no good, and is Jeffrey justified in his snooping? Jeffrey wants to save his marriage and family, but is Jennifer willing to stand by him? Dr. Phil unravels the jealously, lies and abuse to see if this marriage can be saved, or if it's really Jennifer who needs to be saved from Jeffrey. Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

04/26 Obsessive Love

I am very concerned with her and the children's safety.  This type of behaviour seems to me to be "all or nothing".  People like him would kill so no one else could have her.

 

Her behaviour isn't a shining one either..an affair..well that only added fuel to his "fire".

 

I will be watching and see what advise or help you can get them.

Obsessive love

 I have only one comment and this man is hurting and I am glad that they are seeking help. Both of them need help with obession She maked excuses for not getting out but she needs to get help for herself as well. This obession has them both wond real tight. This obession has caused so much hurt its become unforgiveable. One point he should never blame her for his problems. She should have left along time ago. This guy could go overboard anytime now. It is scarey. There is no excuse for subjecting their children to this behavior. Its not normal. Hope all will come to a happy ending and maybe with your help Dr Phil they will get it. They both need so much threapy. And at least they are getting it. Sincerely Lauri

Serious situation

Dr. Phil,

 

This situation is so deteriorated I think she needs to put lots of physical distance between herself and the husband.  Then a retraining order for her safety and a secure location where he cannot find her. I believe he is EXTREMELY dangerous to his wife.

GET OUT

I truly believe she needs to get out of this marrige. It's not only unhealthy for her but it is unhealthy for the children. Children like sponges take everything in, if this is all they know it will be repeated. I strongly believe he could harm or even kill her or the children because he is such a desperate man. As for her I think she has wanted out of the marrige most likely for 8 yrs when she cheated. My opinion but I think any happily married man or woman would never have a my - space account. This is inviting all preditors into your life. HELLO.... I would obviously be looking for someone if I had my sexiest pictures ALONE plastered on my space. This is asking for trouble.... She could hook up with someone FREAKIER than her husband.

Obsessive Love

This guy is going to get worse as time goes by. I think She needs to leave him and get a resraining order against him.He is a really sick man,he needs some SERIOUS HELP!!! I agree with her,I think he will get more  agressive if she leaves him and try to hurt her. She really needs to get away from him though. I hope all works out for her and her kid's.The kid's don't need to be seeing all this bad stuff going on between their parent's.He needs to be commited to a pshychiatric ward!!!!

Obsessive Love

Please get out of this relationship as fast as you can. I am telling you this because I experienced the same type of "obsessive love" that you are going thru right now. My boyfriend was very obsessive with me to the point that he not only stopped me from socializing with friends, but family also. If a male cousin would speak to me while we were at my parents home, once we got back to our place all hell would break loose. I had numerous shoulder and back surgeries due to work related injuries and he would inflict pain to these areas when he felt that I was getting out of control. He would examine my private parts to see if I was sleeping with someone else. He would lock me in the house so that I couldn't go anywhere while he wasn't there, even going as far to taking my keys away so that I couldn't make it to my job. If he felt I was what I was wearing was too revealing, he would literally rip the clothes off of me. Sure he would apologize after each episode with candy, flowers, messages, etc., but it would only last as long as he felt it needed to to get back into my good grace, then it would start all over again. It finally came to the point that I couldn't take it anymore and when I decided to leave him, he beat me unconscious. When I came too, I was locked in the house and my face and head were so swollen they were twice the normal size. What he didn't know was that I had a best friend who had a key to my place and when I new he wasn't there, I called her to come over. Once she saw how badly beaten I was, she let out the most blood curdling scream that I had ever heard. But you know what, that was a wake up call for me. I knew then that if I didn't get out of this relationship either he or myself would end up dead. I did call the police on him and he did go to jail, but for only 3 months! But within that time I was able to move without him knowing were I lived and my job had information on him so that if he did come to my place of employment he would be arrested on the spot. It took me some time to get back on my feet, but with the love and support of my family I was able to succeed. I know it may be harder for you because you have children with him (lucky for me we were able to conceive - A Blessing from GOD!), but I am sure you can make it. There are a lot of social services out there for people like us. I am sure your family wouldn't mind helping you out until you are able to help support you and your children on your own. Do whatever it takes to get away, because at the rate he is going, either you him or the entire family may end of dead.

04/26 Obsessive Love

Quote From: housewife52

Does Jeffrey want help or does he think he is justified? If he does not try to change I think Jennifer should leave him.

 

  I think he actually feels justified in what he's doing, maybe he contacted the Dr. Phil show because he wanted reassurance that what he is doing is "normal" and "okay" ... maybe he just wanted an audience, in some sick twisted way wanted too show the world look I "own"   my wife Jennifer she's  my possession....... He is one very sick individual, Jennifer needs too take her kids and get as far away from his as possible.....

 

It seems too me it's very scary just how easy it is for one human being too control another.......and the fact that it probably goes on allot more then we all think, is that inself even scarier!

That's NOT Love

I cannot believe that another monster exists.  Todays show  will probably make my nightmares return!  I was married to what I thought was my knight in shining armor back in 1997.  I was treated like a queen for several years prior to the vows.  Shortly after that legal paper was signed things started going downhill.  I was his 'property', his puppet and his excuse.  It started as verbal abuse and escalated into physical abuse.  The last five years of the 'marriage' I was kicked out at least twice a year with the clothes on my back and 200+ miles away from my loving family.  I was confused as to what I had done to make him treat me like that. I was always showered with gifts after each incident too.  All of the accusations on the show today were exactly what I went through.  I used to be attractive but the stress now shows.  I had NEVER even thought of straying but was constantly accused of it.  It became apparent that he did not know what love was.  Love is patient, love is kind.  Love is not abuse.  Why did I go back time and time again?  He was very good at malipulation and made me feel sorry for him!

I finally got a divorce after 5 years of  turmoil and now that chapter is over.   BUT I am constantly looking over my shoulder as he is just like Jeffery.  I will always be on guard because I feel he will never stop trying to hurt me and my family.

You have to make up your mind girl.  He will not change and he is teaching your precious children how NOT to love someone.  Children learn how they live.  Please break the cycle.  Save yourself and your children.  YOU ARE WORTH IT!!

OBSESSIVE LOVE

This guy needs some serious help and she needs to GET OUT NOW!  Does he think that even if she agrees to stay w/him that he can make her love him.  This guy just doesn't understand what love is! How can he love her when he can't trust her.  I fear for the kids.  What is he going to do when his kids start going out and partying when they get older.  I fear that he may molest the children if he can't get it from his wife.  He is creepy and seriously needs to be in lockup. How could she ever respect him and trust him. He continues to say the same thing! "It's 100% wrong and I know that, BUT" The only thing BUT does is erase everything he just said!  Dr. Phil, PLEASE HELP THIS GIRL!

04/26 Obsessive Love

Quote From: snowbirds

I think she is the cause of his actions, she started his obsessive behavior and now he can not control his reactions, he does need help to let her go,.She has caused him to have a compulsion behavior disorder.

 

She is not a victim she is the cause, what else is she not telling as to why he is the way he is.

 

I do not believe he was always the way he is now, but I do think she has always been the way she is a LIER, SNEAK,  and most important, the thing that started it all a CHEAT, I get the impression that she thinks she is all that and more, she is 31 and she should not be trying to be anything but what she is and that is a mother and a wife, going out to bars, what's that all about? She needs to stay home with your family, she made her choice when she got married, now that she is getting older she wants to play the field? Whats up with that?  she needs to know that it is to late we all get older and we have to forsake all others that is what she said when she married him, she needs to keep that promise.

 

She was and is the CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS.

 

I feel sorry for Jeffery, Dr. Phil please help him to get rid of this compulsive behavior she caused. He needs to know that there are women out there that would never cheat, lie or sneak and take their marriage vows very seriously.

ARE YOU JEFFERY  BY CHANCE? SURE AS HELL SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING HE MAY POST, ANY ONE OF US WATCHING THE SHOW COULD NOT KNOW ALL THIS AT THIS TIME, HOW ARE YOU SO SURE SHE CAUSED ALL THIS TO HAPPEN?
