Quote From: shazzzie13First, Dr. Phil - I LOVE YOU!!!! Many people are going to hate my post, but I have to say what I honestly feel. I will break it down by wife and husband.
WIFE: she has been unfaithful 2x's in the past, thus arising his suspicions. She goes out with other men knowing she has a jealous husband at home with possible violent tendences. She has not left him(????). She goes on webpages, as a married woman, exchanging nude/sexual photos with strangers and friends. It was alluded that they have sent nude/sexual photos to others in the past. She smiles when she talks about his behavior. I think that she partly enjoys this dangerous attention. I can hear the people now - yelling at me LOL. I will admit, I do have an issue with women in DV situations. I am a social worker and would NEVER work with that population because I do not understand how or why a woman would stay with a man that is violent or controlling. I know all of the "facts" about DV - I went to school and attended numerous trainings - I still would never work with them. Personally, I believe that she enjoys this. It excites her for some reason to get him riled up and stalk her. Unfortuantely, this dangerous game will most likely lead to death for one or both or them.
HUSBAND: he has very serious mental health issues. He is obviously an insecure man who has 'acquired' a beautiful wife and is afraid of losing her. He, himself, stated that she only goes after "short, balding men with little d*cks". What is he saying about himself? His behavior is escalating and he will most likely kill her if she ever does leave. He is exhibiting classic 'batterer' behavior with the isolation and denial of funds. He, I think, is beyond help and should be removed legally from her life.
Even if that were to happen, she would return to this behavior with another man. She finds amusement in it and will find another man that will 'obsess" over her again. THEY ARE BOTH WRONG. THEY ARE BOTH THE CAUSE OF THEIR SITUATION AND SHOULD BOTH BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE - NOT JUST HIM. She appears to be very flirty and may have other men already. He is unstable, insecure and potentially violent.
I know that America will hate this post because we all want to blame him. But she cries with no tears. Okay, maybe it is shock, the "victim syndrome", whatever you want to call it. But I seriously question her actions and wish that you would delve into her a little more. We all know that he is basically a lost cause - or will need years and years and years and years of therapy...and maybe then he can get over her (I think NOT!). But, I do believe that there are two dimensions in this family. I am by no means excusing his behavior - IT IS WRONG AND DANGEROUS. But married people don't, or rather should not, carry on internet or live-body affairs either.
NEITHER ONE IS INNOCENT HERE.
I would agree, it DOES look like she loves this sort of attention....thats soooooo higgh school hunny-GROW UP!!!!
