“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.

obsessive love

I am hoping that on the program tomorrow there is some kind of help for this guy. Otherwise, someone needs to protect her and her children as he could easily kill her and the children.

I am sure Dr. Phil can see this and gets some help to them - we don't need to hear about them on the news.

04/26 Obsessive Love

Quote From: sac1rmh

Bizarre that both would be willing to go national TV. Seems like acting they are role playing parts for reasons unknown to all of the viewers.

I agree that something Is strange about their 'performances'. She was not as upet as she should have been and he was too accomodating.

agreed!!

Quote From: cares4critters

She needs to leave and find a place where he can't find her. Trust another woman who has been there and done that. Read the rest of the messages. There's a lot of us telling you the same thing. Don't think the kids are safe either.

there were no shelters when i was in this situation, mine was a 80% and this man is 100% gone. mine is gone in the in hell type of gone. my daughter recuses dogs in vermont and i like your name. take care and peace everywhere.

She needs to get out!!!!

I feel that she needs to get out now!!! He needs to be admitted to a hospital to get help, I really feel for her safety!!!! I pray that she doesn't go home with him after the show. I really feel bad for the kids to have to go through this too, He is using them on her as well.

04/26 Obsessive Love

Quote From: ricolic25

I cannot understand why you all are saying its her fault...normal people leave when someone cheats and it does not turn into abuse to this level...rember she said that he took her son with him once and had the boy call and ask if they could come home? This is not ok. I am married and on my space but i only invite my friends some are of the opposit sex but my husband knows who i am talking to. Even if he didn't and i was doing something wrong that would not give him the right to stalk me with GPS or record conversations and it surely would not give him the right to assult me!! She needs to get out or she will end up like a lifetime movie...

PS who thinks shes cheating to get him to leave? I think she's trying to get out any way she can!

This is not ok I do not agree with this

I don't see people saying it's her fault... I just don't see everyone jumping on the "it's ALL his fault" band wagon. I have seen many women who look like they are to the point of not being able to make any decisions on their own account. But this woman was not one of them... I believe some of us are at least holding her accountable for having affairs and having enough energy to be on my space... He is totally nuts, that's a given. They were in counceling 4 times and the counselors told them to separate, why didn't she call them back screaming for help. He's even the one that called Dr. Phil. She is not trying to get any help. It seem like she is enjoying this sick possesive attention. Did she even once say... help me Dr. Phil... get me out of this relationship. She didn't seem scared to me. I say she doesn't want out... she wants her comfortable lifestyle... he computer, her my space, her access to whatever her husband is stalking her at. It is their sick circle of disfunction.

They are both fruit loops with children. The poor children!

LEAVE the Creep

The ONLY advice for Jennifer is to divorce this sicko, change her name & MOVE to the other side of the country & take her kids with her. He doesn't care about those kids either, they are pawns & another way to control her. I can't imagine counselling saving this marriage, NOTHING can make a person fall back in love, and there is zero trust to boot. This man needs to be committed. I feel that he is such a psycho that he will kill her & then kill himself. And I am not a shrink!!

This is a male (he is NOT a man) who thinks its all about him. I hope on tomorrows show you tell her to RUN as far as she can away from him.

04/26 Obsessive Love

I cannot believe this. I grew up in a home with a father who was controlling and abusive. I thought it was bad, but this guy wins the creap award. She needs to get out, even if it's with just the clothes on her back. The kids are watching and taking notes. They are going to need some seious help. I can't imagine what they must be feeling.

WOW

OK, I have to say this man is definitely in need of some serious help but, come on Dr. Phil, this woman is clearly fueling the fire of a VERY sick man. She has some ownership in this, her behavior does not constitute that of just a "victim". Receiving emails of naked men, commenting them back and also posting sexy pics of herself???? She seems like in her own sick way she is "enjoying" this behavior and attention. I feel like you are taking the stance that his outrageous behavior is overshadowing anything she has been doing or is doing to contribute to this. When do you call her out on some of her behavior? I am a woman and I can clearly see this. Don't get me wrong, his actions are clearly obsessive, dangerous and down right dispicable, but clearly she is not diffusing the situation by her actions either!!!! She is married but seems to think her "indiscretions" don't count because of his irrational reactions to them. And don't even get me started on their behaviors in front of their children, that is just downright SICKENING and as you say, will forever change who they are.......Thanks....LOVE THE SHOW!!!!

NO EXCUSE

People with obviously no idea of this seem to have all the answers.THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS BEHAVIOR!! She may have cheated,SO WHAT that doesn't give him the right to do what he's doing.Some of you go on and on and say just leave or she must like it I'm sick and tired of that kind of ignorance.You obviously have no idea how strong fear is.She knows what she needs to do and hopefully sh'll find the strength.It's terrible that in this day and age though that if there are no marks than that means there's no abuse and the system well you might as well call superman he'll come faster. When she does leave hopefully she can find a place that he'll never find her unless she wants him to when and if he can ever get better.I agree,SHE'LL BE DEAD AND MOST LIKELY THE KIDS TOO!!! My situation was a walk in the park compared to this

Quote From: sac1rmh

She bears the burden as well. She needs to cheat and probably did prior to their marriage. She also likes his obsessiveness. Either that or they are both acting these roles and we are all eating it up.

Sac, she does not want this nor does she like it. Do not judge until you've walked in her shoes. She is terrified and has been beaten down. Please do not say anything like that again, as you are degrading her further.
