  • i watched dr. phil last week.. two consecutive episodes. i don't normally view this show because i've never been too fond of that man. but on these two occasions there was a couple who came on to save their marriage. the husband.. i forgot his name so we'll refer to him as "bob" and the wife.. "barb".. bob and barb, har har. moving on.. bob wrote to dr. phil seeking his help. bob has obsessive compulsive disorder -- like a severe case of it. he is beyond obsessed with his wife, barb. let me recap some of the extremities he's gone to.

    bob has.. (some are quite disturbing)

    • put gps tracking devices in barb's car.
    • recorded her phone conversations.
    • shut off her alarm so that she couldn't go to work.
    • pretended to be a flower delivery boy so he could get access to her desk.. the only "safe" place for her to store personal items (documents, etc)..
    • threatened her coworkers, family, friends, etc.. so now most of them won't even talk to her.
    • cranked up the heat while she slept so he could watch her strip.
    • faked a vasectomy. he cut himself to make it look like he got this procedure done so that she would have sex with him. he hoped he could get her pregnant again because "it's saved their marriage before"..
    • paid teenage boys to follow her and report back to him their findings.
    • stuck a camera in her tanning bed to take nude photos of her.
    • imprisoned barb.
    • blocked myspace.com from all the computers in the house, except his laptop.. there she has to keep her password saved so he can have access to her account.

    these are just a few i can remember.. they have three children together. she was 19 and he was 30 when they tied the knot. bob has caught barb cheating on him before.

    he's determined to catch her again.

    it's crazy.. some of the boundaries people will cross..

    i know to many there really is no excuse for her to stay.. but he has trapped her financially.. she doesn't have a job anymore due to his actions.. he's let his business turn to complete shits so that there would be income available for the children to attend daycare.. (she says he is a good father, i beg to differ).. eeek, what a mess.. what a mess..

  • that is just plain creepy. i just can't believe somebody who is married to someone can act like that ... he is really just plain crazy.

  • sick. just sick.

  • so why is she w/ him??? lemme guess....she LOVEs him??? or has he threatened to kill her is she were to leave him?

  • No woman is worth that much attention.

  • Barb should leave Bob.

  • this man is a genius. "turned up the heat while she slept so he could watch her strip". i need to adopt that trick. it's hot.

  • uh... wtf?

  • o_O!?

  • That isn't really OCD is it?

    Anyway, talk about an unhealthy relationship. The things people will do so they can be "happy"...

  • its her own damn fault for cheating.

    we all have to suffer the consequences of the decisions we make...

    doope de dooo....

  •  I'll have to remember that vasectomy one for the future...haha!

  • man, that's sick, haha. I don't think it'll work out.

  • funny how you assumed it's "she"

  • the weirdos in this world... the more advanced we get, the weirder people can be

  • Yeah but,....it's all done out of love.

  • click on good boy

  • she is stuck in a violent, abusive cycle. I wouldnt be surprised if she stabbed him to death with a knife one day

  • she shouldn't have cheated, she caused him to snap. i wonder what he was like before she did that? i also wonder if she's hot :) that's probably how i'll be when i marry eva longoria. i kid, i kid...

    sorry i didn't respond to your comment. it was a good one, but... like this whole issue, there isn't much more to say. yes, i'm most perturbed by the media and basically, we're setting things up to happen again, maybe even worse. the answer isn't just in checks and balances for the mentally ill and the means to acquire weapons, it's also in not creating the tension that bore a monster. edumacation of the masses, which the media is f'n up.

  • She cheated...lost his trust...and created a monster.

    What if the situation was reversed?

  • I dunno...he seems normal to me.

  • Ah, Dr. Phil. Always quality, all the time.
