(Original Air Date: 09/12/07) Affairs, fights, lies and dark secrets are tearing a family apart. Brandon and Amy have been married for 2 1/2 years and have three children. One year into their marriage, Brandon was caught having an affair with their teenage nanny. Was she the only one, or did he cheat with others? The couple's tumultuous relationship reached a breaking point when Amy, who said she feared for her life, obtained a restraining order against Brandon. What led him to file divorce papers?  Then, five months into the proceedings, their relationship reignited. Why did Amy let Brandon back into her life? Amy's parents and her ex-best friend, Heidi, say Amy's heading down the road to disaster. So why do they doubt Brandon's recent revelations? And, why does Brandon say Amy's ruining his reputation? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

all three are dumb

Heidi needs a man and life of her own and I think Amy and him are meant to be they both can't tell the truth heck they dont even know if they are living together. She needs to take off the blind fold and see LIFE!

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

I think that it is so pathetic that he doesn't take full responsibility for anything. Everything that is said  against him is "something that was conspired by his wife and her best friend". This guy is out of his mind, he's trying to make everyone around him look guilty in order to get sympathy. That is so pathetic. My advice to his wife is run. If he can't admit and take responsibility for what he has done then he hasn't changed. He's just playing games with her to get back into her life and he'll only hurt her again. Open your eyes sweetheart and listen to your best friend. She only has your best interest at heart.

Are there three people in this marriage?

This may be obvious but why are there three people in this marriage?  I think the relationsip might have had a chance had the friend not been involved at all, right from the outset and continuing to do so while slinging arrows is not helping at all.  The couple should be allowed to figure it out for themselves.  Get some counselling and if that doesn't help, get out.

The Nanny Afair

 Both Brian and his wife have a lot of growing up to do, I think that's quite obvious, however,  they won't ever accomplish that with a third person in their marriage.  Friends are wonderful but Heidi needs to get out of their marriage!

ditch the friend

Isn't he on the show to try to show his wife he's changed or working on changing?  Then why do they have the friend there reminding him of everything he's done wrong in the past? 

 

If she really wants to get back with her husband (and that's no business of ours, btw) then they need to get to a marriage counselor, just the two of them, and work on moving forward.  Living in the past is only going to keep bogging them down.

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: kec132

Have to disagree - Heidi's anger is over-the-top bordering on irrational. She acts as if he cheated on her. Maybe she forced Amy to admit that Brandon was cheating on her but other than that all she's added is more anger.

 

Heidi was living there supposedly because she was on disability. I know that being on disability is financially a horror story if you're single and don't have someone to help you. And here's her best friend who's a very pretty little blond married to a very handsome fireman living in a nice house and when Amy became disabled they hired nanny's to help. Meanwhile Heidi had to move in with them because apparently they were the only support system she had. An extremely vast differnce in their circumstances. As it turns out the guy is a louse - a handsome one - but a real louse all the same. And Heidi loses it, forcing Amy her best friend to face it and involving herself in their marriage problems. Subconsciously I'd say that there has to be some small bit of satisfaction there along with more than a little envy and jealousy as AMy's life falls apart.  Heidi was disturbed that she didn't know in advance that Amy cancelled the Order of Protection - she's supposed to be part of these decisions - or so she seems to think. As if Amy were obligated to tell her every single aspect of the couple's dealings with each other. Very unhealthy. Heidi even tried to take control of the show by talking over Dr. Phil and then telling him what he should be doing. Actually - it appears now that Heidi is obsessed with Amy's marriage.

 

She needs to get a life. If Amy calls her and starts confiding her latest problem with Brandon then she needs to change the subject and not involve herself any further. She's not being a good friend here - she's planted herself in their relationship.

I think Heidi needs to get a life other than trying to control her friend's.  I do think she has alot to say and can probably tell the story than the wife who is in the whole mess herself, but she does act like he has cheated on her.  Maybe something more has happened between them in the past???

drama

These people are addicted to Drama..  No boundries with any of them...  I really don't think anyone is thinking about what is best   for the children. With all this going on all the time, how does anyone have time to understand and hear the children's hearts.    This quy  does not come off  in any way as even remotely honest and he is abusive to the women.  I really think the children and the wife would be so much better off without him.  I don't think he can grow up,  He is too dishonest and it works for him to be that way....  very sad.
