(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.

I AGREE

Quote From: daisylady719

Body language says it all - The dude is lying! He is lying to his wife, he is lying to Dr. Phil, but worst of all he is lying to himself. I must be in the water because his wife is also deceiving herself by thinking that a lepoard will change his spots. I certainly understand the wants of keeping a relationship together for the sake of the family. But, what kind of example is she setting for her children by allowing this behavior to continue in their home? Sometimes......it really is better to cut your losses, lick your wounds, and get the hell out of Dodge!

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YUO I AGREE WITH YOU 100% THEY ARE SETTING A REALLY BAD EXAMPLE FOR THE KIDS AND THEY ARE LYING TO EVERYONE EVEN THEMSELVES.THEY NEED TO GET A LIFE A REAL LIFE

WOW

I was married to a man very similar to him. I was depressed and insecure. My shrink told me, you won't get any better until you leave him. Well 4 years and a baby later i finally listened and woohoo I've never been happier. Divorced Single mom in a very healthy relationship and oh so happy!! Leave his cheating ass you will never be happy until then!

Mind Your Own Business

Heidi should mind her own business! Brandon if you love your wife and children then practice self-control.

Wow

This guy seems like someone with antisocial personality disorder... not to mention he's narcissistic.
A danger to his wife and his children - keep him away.

Lose the best friend

I think the best friend needs to butt out, if they can get through it and fix there family they should do it, but the best friend wont go for it. He messed up, he admits it. Get over it and move on.

Where are his supporters?

Does he not have anyone - family, friends, co-workers - that would have been willing to come on the show in support of him?? If not, that fact is very telling.

Everyone changes

I dont know the full story, only what Ive heard..but people do change and noone is perfect. I think if they truely love eachother they should give it a try. Ive gone through alot in my life, alot of rough bumps, with help, love . support. and change things have gotten alot better. I truely think that her best friend should stay out of it..she should be there for support and listen, but not judge her or tell her what to do.. She can tell her what she thinks if she asks, but it is not her life...

You need to think about you and your kids

I believe that every marrage deserves a chance, BUT, I think that your marriage isn't being helped by your SO CALLED BEST FRIEND, I understand her concern and her anger, but IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER!!!!!!! This is your marriage not hers, she doesn't have to agree with your choices, but for her to tell you after 8 years of friendship, that you have to choose between her and YOUR HUSBAND isn't her being a friend. Kick her to the curb!!!! As for your husband, if he cheated once her WILL CHEAT AGAIN and probably has and he knows it but hasn't told you because he hasn't been caught, and if he has a temper and has threatened you IN ANY WAY, you need to get your children and yourself away from him before his anger turns deadly!!!!! Don't be the next woman who the world is looking for because he has done something to you. Be smart and take the love blinders off, and GET REAL!!!!

Entitlement

Firemen have an "I am God" complex. Because they can save lives and property, everything else they do is excusable. Yes, I have been there.

are you kidding me??

I would like to ask the wife..."You have questioned him on things that he has denied completely...if you know they are actually true..why waste your time with him...really? Someone who was really trying to make things work would be 100% honest about everything to start over....The longer you wait to divorce him, the longer it will be before you can start your life...you don't want to be on this road in 10 years...And I believe that once someone treats you badly..it is very hard for them to stop..it's like you cross a line that is very hard to go back behind....

So.....get out..before you invest more time in something that is never going to give you true happiness"
