(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.

09/12 The Nanny Affair, Part 1

Quote From: camcar4477

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.
i dont think her friend is trying to make her choose .i had a very good friend who treated my friend very badly and i refused to go to the house to visit  she also wouldnt listen and one day he almost killed her .her friend and her family are looking out for her i think he wants her back only because he doesnt want to take care of himself and also pay child support .fire fighters make a lot of money and he would have to give her a lot

Hmmm

 This whole story is RIDICULOUS In every way,,, What difference would it make to divorce than re marry ?? I think what it boils down to is the both of them need to come to grips with reality. She needs to realize that hes most likely not going to change, If he wanted to he would of done it by now,, && i almost think that hes one of those guys that lie sooo much that they actually believe what their saying,, I think he cant even remember what hes lying about. I think that she needs to do what she needs to do for her Because its not fair for her kids && he needs to realize that hes not invincible. && if she saw him putting pills in the nannys mouth ,,why wouldnt she say something to him?? Id rather be paralyzed && unable to do anything for myself than let a man (or women) disrespect me like that..Especially not in front of me. He needs to grow some balls && fess up to the things that hes done if hes really wanting to work their "so called" marriage out. IF i was her i would have walked away 8 years ago when he hit on my best friend for the first time..but I guess i like being respected in a relationship..silly me =]

Sad situation!

The wife needs to worry about her kids and make the husband leave! That is a dangerous place for those kids to live with all the pain killers and such going on! The husband will ALWAYS cheat.You can just look into his eyes and see the lies and anger.She needs a reality check!!!!!

that Heidi

Quote From: nandi7

Heidi should mind her own business!  Brandon if you love your wife and children then practice self-control.
I totally agree with you, there should be no third wheel in this marriage, whatever they decide should be THEIR decision, NOT this Heidi who was given far too much power in this sitiation, Her eye rolling and smirks and constantly butting in has NO place in their marriage. The wife made a dredful mistake by pulling this woman into her marriage., She is obvioulsy her advocate, and is definately loving the power she thinks she has.,disgusting.   EML  New Jersey

Definitely a player

He is definitely a player. Takes one to know one. If He was legitimate about saving the marriage then total honesty is a must.  How can He try and convince His Wife that He did not put drugs in the Nanny's mouth when She saw him point blank?

If His Wife was kind and forgiving enough to put it all on Dr Phil  the least He could do is to be as Dr. Phil would say ,be totally real ,and completely transparent.

He possibly has the chance of a lifetime  to get real help and try and save His marriage. Personally

I see no hint of sincerity at all.

this couple is in big trouble

he's a humoungous liar and home girl is in serious denial.  she knows what he's capable of and she is blindly going back to him - why??? what is so great about this loser? exactly ... nothing.

if I was her best friend and she displayed this stupidity after all she's been through, I'm sorry, I couldn't be her friend anymore either.   fine go back to him, but don't drag your friends into your s#IT spiral with you when your little fairy tale world comes crashing down on your stupid head - good luck to you.

Heidi Needs to Get A Life!

Surely this man has some serious issues and needs help but his wife needs to find self esteem and a independent mind.  Her "so called" friend Heidi is way too involved in their saga.  This is a "friend" I would not want to have.  She not only keeps an eye on the husband and reports back. Probably embellished) She likes drama.   I have had friends whose husbands made passes. I let them know in no uncertain terms that this was unacceptable and I never played that game with them.  I would never mentioned it to my friends unless it was an ongoing proposition.   Their husbands never made that mistake again.

Dr. Philplease help this couple.  If anyone can get them on the right track you can.

I am so impressed

how tolerant Dr Phil is of a man who is obviously a pathological liar. Please please try to help his naive or simple wife run in the other direction :-(

Brandon has major problems

Quote From: juzzaboo

Why do women let men do this to them. he didn't only cheat on her with a women but he cheated on her with a teenager a kid practicaly!! Im sure she didn't hire this girl to watch her husband. that wife should have kept that divorce and let him be with the teenager or any other kid and let him get in trouble for being a petafile and not let it shame the family. Im sorry but i was always raised that your actions dosen't just reflect on you but your family to. I was told never act a fool like that. so now people are going to look at her saying that she is married to a petafile and she has kids. the general public would worry for the kids. he did it to a teenager do you think he would do somethin to the kids. you never now!!

 LISTEN UP TO THIS ONE!!!!

I lived with a man like this once.  Brandon turns everything anyone says around to make the other person look bad and change the direction of the conversation-away from himself.  I think he is a pathological liar and con man.  Unfortunatley I think he is intellagent- but doesnt have any consiousness or feelings or remorse.  He lives in  "THE MOMENT and all about himself".

She needs to leave him and run- far far away., because men like this make womans lives miserable and she deserves more. He is eithor phychotic or has some other phsychological mental disorder that needs to be addressed by a Doctor. long term treatment.    The shame is -He may never get better.  I am sorry for the children.
