Topic : 12/27 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

If Brandon really loved his wife in the first place, why would he even surrender in doing something horrible anyway?

It was one little blurb about his job that he was able to get in with everyone else talking - for all we know it could have been one incident he was mentioning or  even a hypothetical situation but to say he came across like he single handedly rescued everyone in every fire he ever responded to is just ludricrous!  Now you - in the position you are in,is trying to say that his and your job is not stressful?  I find that prepsterous!Try to be supportive of your colleagues.

Jusy finished watching the Thursday episode. Dr. Phil's advice was so right about Brandon seeking counsel & their not getting back together now. I agree, get Heather out of the picture. She is definitely a manipulator herself & trouble. Let the couple work out their own problems!

I just wanted to say 1) the best friend should probably get a life of her own. its cool that she cares about her friend and is like a sister, but really? she's kind of an instigator. also, I'm I the only one who thinks its not just a coincidence that the husband and wife only get along when the friend isn't there? 2) If its possible, I actually feel sorry for the guy. He's done nothing but own up to his mistakes and is even in therapy. Instead of people letting him prove he's changed, they immediately assume he hasn't. They shouldn't get remarried for awhile, but at least give him the chance to prove himself! If he doesn't do it, then he's done. But he's right, they are ambushing him a little.

I feel bad for the kids...I think Amy should think of them first.  I agree with her parents, they should cut her off if she goes back.  His behavior is disgusting and he has made one excuse after the other with no remorse...why doesn't she see that?  Sad...

I noticed that even while Dr Phil was leaning towards the couple, talking directly to them, Heidi continued to insert herself with aggressive hostility into the situation. She may well be concerned about her friend and the kids, but her concern seems over the top. She seems to want control of her friend's life.

I question exactly why Heidi is so adamant. Many things about this situation strike me as off center where Heidi is concerned. She needs to back off and examine her own motivation in all this.

Brandon appears to have all the makings of an anti-social, narcissistic psychopath who has no real insight into how his behavior affects anyone else. I believe he is dangerous in the extreme and hopefully Amy will figure that out before he kills her.

Amy's mother's intuition about him is right. He is dangerous. Maybe not intentionally evil, but certainly too damaged to have a healthy relationship with anyone, including himself. He has a lot of work to do, but I have reservations about his genuine willingness or ability to do it. I hope he will not be allowed to have unsupervised visits with her or anyone in her family.

The wife should get RID OF HIM.  Guys like him never change no matter how many therapists they see in their lifetime.

 

He's a habitual liar..... he will never change.  If she stays with him, she's really STUPID!!!!!.

 

But, sometimes these wives feel loved while being abused.  They don't know what love is.

 

 

For one I think Heidi should have not been on the show. It was between Brandon and Amy, its their marriage. He said he was sorry and I think that both of them need help. Heidi should have kept her mouth shut and let amy speak for herself instead of Heidi telling her what to say. I think Heidi is jealous and needs a life of her own to control.

I THINK ITS REALLY STRANTGE THAT HER BEST FRIEND CARES THAAAAAAAAAAT MUCH,

if she were really her best friend, the way she says she is, she should stick by her no matter what, and be there for her.

why is she SOOOO invovled in this marriage?

does she not have her own life to firgure out?

and plus why would amy allow her to be so nosy in her marriage?

i think something more is going on, maybe shes atrratced to brandon (BECAUSE WHO WOULDNT BE!!) and shes jealous of either amy, or the fact that hes never come on to her, only the nannies.

shes bribing amy into leaving him with their friendship.

if i were amy i would tell her to get her own life and let her figure out hers.

there is DEFINTLY more going onwith that girl if shes DESPERATE to tear down brandon, its not her "LOVE FOR AMY AND THE KIDS" thats bs

I belive that he is guilty and that she need to not take him back into her life but i also belive that her friend is a very unhappy person that dont know when to shut up and she needs to stay out of thier problems. The guy cant say anything without her jumping in. If she was any kind of friend, she would stand beside her friend no matter what her choice is. She isnt the one that has to live with him . A BEST friend is there NO MATTER what happens weather they like what is going on or not. Thats what friends are for. Not to sit and judge and say , well if you go back with him I wont speak to you. Time to grow up and shut up. She needs to get a life and stay out of thiers.
