Dr. Phil follows up with the complicated and twisted story of Jennifer and her husband, Jeffrey. He is so obsessed with his wife, he goes to extreme measures to spy on her and keep her under his control. After the last show, Jeffrey chose to seek help at Creative Care in California, while Jennifer headed home. See what private investigators found when they did a sweep of Jennifer's house upon her return. After being in rehab for two weeks and not complying with the rules, Jeffrey receives an ultimatum from the staff at Creative Care. When Jennifer learns the news, she breaks down and shares her thoughts in a video diary. Jeffrey gets re-motivated and stays in treatment, but does his obsessive jealousy end? Afraid for her safety and ready to end the marriage, Jennifer meets with an attorney to find out what rights she has. Then, Dr. Khaleghi, director of Creative Care, has a startling message for Jennifer and reveals why he doesn't believe Jeffrey is ready to see her. And, Jeffrey joins Dr. Phil onstage to share his progress. Is he giving 110 percent like he committed to in the last show or has he been up to his old tricks? Will Jeffrey decide to return to treatment, or give in to his anxieties and return home? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

05/10 Obsessive Love: Secrets Revealed

Quote From: msmishere

He is going to end up killing her.

I hope not! Dr. Phil seemed pretty serious about keeping her safe.  If he's got to loan her body guards to guard her house for the next few weeks, I think he'll do it.

 

I hope a lot of people are keeping Jennifer in their prayers.  I know I am!

05/10 Obsessive Love: Secrets Revealed

Quote From: manofgoods

Before everyone starts blaming Jennifer,  read the transcripts of the last show; he admitted that he started this the minute they gotten married! She was a newlywed, she was PREGNANT, & he has no trust for her? He was recording her phone calls RIGHT AFTER they got married! HIS CRAZY BEHAVIOR STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING! NOT AFTER SHE HAD AN AFFAIR! She had been living with his abuse for 2 years before she had an affair. Another BIG RED FLAG... she had NO ONE at the wedding! What 19 year old girl doesn't want her family & her friends at her wedding? He engineered it so that she had NO family or friends at her wedding! SHE DID NOT TRIGGER HIS OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOR!

Simply put, Jeffrey knew from the beginning that no woman around his age would put up with his crap (back at 30), otherwise, he wouldn't be going after a nice, naive, young woman at 19. I have seen men like him. They control, manipulate, & dominate young women like her. A REAL man NEVER abuses a woman, whatever it's emotionally, or physically, & unfortunately, that's what's driven her to find another man to rescue her. All of the Jeffrey defenders need to wake up. You're basically defending a man for his actions. That is NO excuse for him to act like that. NONE. You either work out on the marriage, or get a divorce & move on, not become a controlling, dominating pig. I have no sympathy for this man at all.
AMEN

Disgusting

This guy makes me so sick...it doesn't seem like the therapy has helped him one teeny tiny little bit and that's not only sad, it's incredibly dangerous. And for those of you blaming the wife, let me just say that I could not disagree with you more. This man is sick, and that's NOT her fault.

05/10 Obsessive Love: Secrets Revealed

Quote From: smolek

She should be ashamed of herself. She's putting all the blame onnhim when she has played a significant role in this situation. They are both sick and need help, her just as much as him.

I gotta completely disagree with you about that! Jennifer has done nothing ~ not anything ~ to deserve this kind of abuse!!!  To say that "she has played a significant role" is to also say that somehow what Jeffrey did was okay and that is NOT the case.

 

She was nineteen years old and she unknowingly hooked up with an abuser.  To quote Dr. Phil, "It's not her fault."

05/10 Obsessive Love: Secrets Revealed

OK , so I didn't see the last show with Jennifer and Jeffery  and I only saw the last 45 minutes today -- but this guy, what a psycho...  The way he gets defensive with his own counselor and Dr. Phil -- the way he tries to get his point across and has "misunderstood" what the plan is after this show -- NOT TO SEE OR TALK TO HIS FAMILY!!!!   Hello???!!!!  He had fantasies of walking off the the show with Dr. Phil and Mrs. Phil and spending time with his wife at a local hotel and going to outpt therapy???   He's delusional and he's dangerous,... people like this are so unpredictable, he thinks he knows exactly what to say to professionals to make them think he's improving -- but what he fails to realize is that those Freudian slips tell the real truth about his motives.   In the end, she will do what she wants -- but in the end, if she takes him back it could be fatal for her and her children.

In response to this quote

Quote From: kerryjd31

I would like to say that yes this guy is nuts and yes, should be in treatment,  however..... It takes 2!!!! She is at least partly to blame for the state of their marriage. Her constant cheating and flirting doesn't make for a good relationship. Should this guy get another chance... NO!!! But I would like to also say that she keeps saying how abusive he is... Well, honey, as someone who was in an abusive relationship for 8 years, let me tell you, if you are afraid of that person you DO NOT stand up to them or talk to them like she has or be online with the things she has and you sure don't have an affair if you are TRUELY afraid of that person. So, sorry, but I find it hard to believe that she is afraid. I was and I wouldn't have dreamed of doing or saying the things she has.

Also, could either of them be more fake.... I see all the "crying" but where are the tears?

I am the child of an abusive home.  My father beat the crap out of my mother for 12 years.  There were times she would stand up to him and not be afraid, then he tried to kill her.  I got thrown across the room when I stopped him from going to punch my mother in the face.  This is not about Jennifer's cheating.  Jeffery is sick and deranged.  He married her when she was only 19 years old and he was 30.  He was already looking to control someone.  If you really were in an abusive relationship, you can see in her eyes and in his eyes.  Fear in hers and insanity in his.  My mother finally divorced my father in 1975 when there were no safe houses, no real restraining orders, and it was okay to beat your wife.  My mother tried to run away many times, and he hunted us down.  He choked her, suffocated her, strangled her, shot a gun at her, and beat her with his fists many, many, many times.  Most people didn't know, because she hid it.  Abuse has nothing to do with the the behavior of the one spouse, it is the abuser that has the emotional problem.  My mother never deserved to be beaten, I never deserved to be hit with a 2 x 4 or thrown across the room, but it happened.  My mother told my father, either you kill me or I divorce you, either way I'm leaving.  So please stop everyone who wants to blame Jennifer. STOP STOP STOP!  Because you have no idea what the hell you are talking about!

I have seen in his eyes he will keep on doing this she should get out and stay out of this marrage as he will keep on doing it and he might hurt her and the kids.

 

He really dont need to say all those things to her is he just not sure what he is doing he must be mad

05/10 Obsessive Love: Secrets Revealed

If Jen lives in the state of Virginia, I, too, have been in her situation. She must report EVERY time he does anything out of line. A protection order isn't worth the paper it is written on if she doesn't stay on top of the situation and report to the police every incident.

He's Crazy

I feel so bad for Jen, she doesn't need a CRAZY man in her life. She is so beautiful she can get any guy she wants. He is a loser and he needs ALOT of help.
