Topic : 12/27 The Nanny Affair, Part 2

This is why people like Brandon get away with manipulating people for years - because there are still those of us out there who can easily be fooled by a few crocodile tears.  Where was the "sad little boy Brandon" when he was hosing his wife's little girl down with cold water outside in the cold weather?  Where was "poor sad little Brandon" when he was flirting and sleeping with the teenage nannies? 

 

I am sick to death of excuse makers and psychobabblers who will make allowances for any and all behaviors as long as the abuser says he's "sorry" and he'll "change".

 

 

This woman needs to think about her children.  If this man is truly (which it is obvious he is) lying, manipulating , conning, etc....  then her children when learn this behavior from their father.  She needs to break this cycle that is going on in her family. She is not doing her children any justice for their future.  Her husband is nothing more than a sexual addict, and he needs years of therapy to undue this type of behavior.  She needs to realize that men like this do not get better. They only get better at lying and manipulating you.  Their disease only gets worse, and he is only going to want more from other women. 

Does this guy suffer Narcissistic Personal Disorder.?!!!

Wow.  Does he know how to answer a simple question.?!

I am so sick to my stomach after viewing this episode!!!

He has not changed and will not change.

The children are the ones who are suffering and need counseling.

Dr. Phil thanks!

 

I think Dr. Phil should have told the best friend to butt out of their business.  I can see her  wanting to help her because of her concern at first, but now that they are seeking professional help, the best friend needs to back  away.   Actually,  I think she needs to stay away until all this is over with.   She is not a positive influence and to me it seems like she is more of a problem in their marriage than a help.

It doesn't seem like he is sincere. When he apologizes, there is no emotion or since of being sorry in his voice. It seems like he is just saying what he wants his wife, the audience, and Dr. Phil to hear. I'm all for giveing people second chances, however they need to convince me that they sort of acknowledge what they did was wrong, and I don't think he gets that yet.

I realize this is a VERY serious topic, and certainly don't mean to trivialize the subject matter.........but this gives a whole new meaning to the childhood taunt of  "Nanny, Nanny, Boo Boo", doesn't it?

 

I'll be waiting to see what new info is revealed later today and how it impacts Amy's decision!

You know I love my friends, but she is way overboard.  I understand that she cares about Amy, but give me a break, she does not have any say in THEIR marriage.  It almost seemed as if Heidi was jealous of Amy.  Heidi needs counseling in order to get her life and boundaries straight.  I have been where Amy is and decided to work it out against everyone's advice but I did have boundaries and we did seek counseling and it worked out for the best.  The bottom line I believe for your kids and if Brandon truely wants to change it may take time, but who knows as long as the abuse STOPS and they take their time with help it could be for the best.

I think that if they both want to work on there marriage they should seek help, and the best friend Hidi should butt out if she is a true friend she would support her friend and if this is bringing her down emotionally then she should put up boudries so this dosnt effect her personal life. She can still be a friend just not so close in the marriage issues.

Okay I know I might get slammed for this, especially since I am new to these boards but well here we go. I disagree with a lot of you on this topic.  I do  beleive  this man as some issues that need delt  with and  yes I think he as made some orindous choices included having  an affair with numerous women. But on the other hand I don't think he is the only on to blame here. His wife seems just as quilty of the same things. A marriage takes TWO people (husband + wife, not husband + wife + best friend). I think if those two were set aside away from the outside influence and with some counseling they would be fine. He doesn't seem like a horrible person just someone that acts before he thinks. I think they ALL have some obvious drug issue, ALL have verbal abuse issues, and they ALL have a bad way of communicating. The biggest thing I have a problem with though about the whole thing is Heidi. She has no business butting in as much as she as. Her job as a best friend is to be there for her when she needs her not to make decisions for her and for her life and dictating what that women should do. Who does she think she is, Really? I have a best friend too and let me tell you she has made some pretty crazy decisions but I let her make them and support them no matter what they might be. I might give her a little advice her and there but I never give her elltimatoms. Its a job as a best friend to be there and pick them up when they fall not prevent it. How will they ever learn? I mean, yeah you can warn them and say hey I don't think this is a very good idea but to go as far and say if you do this I wont be your friend anymore. Please! Anyway back to him I think he is an okay guy he just needs a real women to say hey cut the teenage crap and grow up.  He is only doing the things he does because she allows him to. Once she says enough, then he'll stop and the'll be fine.  Maybe I still don't know her deal yet, we don't get to see what she does in the relationship and I still think there is more to her. She is fishy to me. Well I know I am probably the only one that thinks this way but  hey its my opinion and that how I feel. Sue me.
