Well, he had the midlife crisis, had an affair. Wife had a revenge affair and is still active with it. Husband wants her back; she's torn between the two.
The best part was the last 15 minutes: Dr. Phil's advice. It's worth watching just for that part.
Basically (Judy Judy hates that word
...watching her show right now), the marriage is not over until all emotions are resolved. He wants them to have intensive counselling for at least 90 days, wife is to have no contact with OM (who, if he is meant to be with her, will honour the break in the relationship). Then come to a decision. She is more than willing to try the counselling with her husband.
Typical affair behaviour.....she is enamoured, the giddiness, etc. Husband regrets his affair, was a "mistake" and wants her back....
The programme is repeated here tomorrow morning; I just felt too triggery to watch the beginning today.
Quote from the Dr. Phil website:
Judy says that last year, her husband, Danny, suffered a midlife crisis that destroyed their 30-year-long “picture perfect” marriage. She says that out of nowhere, Danny asked for a divorce and then moved out, started an affair — and told her to move on with her life. Ten months later, she says she finally did, with a new man, Lawrence, who Judy confides made her "knees buckle" the first time they met. But now, Danny’s back and says he made a huge mistake — and he’s willing to do anything to win Judy back and fix their relationship. Judy says she’s torn between her husband and her new boyfriend — and she wants Dr. Phil to help her make decision. Can Judy and Danny’s marriage be saved — or is it time to move on? You may be surprised by what Dr. Phil thinks!
