Dr. Phil

Fighting Fiancés: Ready for the Altar or Running for the Hills? (12x128)

Air date: Apr 02, 2014

Sheryl says it was love at first sight when she met her optometrist fiancé, Owen, in 2010 — but the real eye opener came two years later, when she moved from Florida to New York to live with him and his three children. She claims that Owen, who makes six figures, refused to give her any spending money and treated her like the nanny and housekeeper — all while she slept on a futon in the living room. Frustrated, she moved back to Florida a year later and called off the wedding — so, why is she still wearing her engagement ring? Owen says Sheryl expects him to pay for everything, and his friends and family disapprovingly call her a “gold digger” — but he still wants to marry her! Dr. Phil offers the couple advice for moving forward. Should they proceed to the altar — or alter their plans? Then, Jacob and Lucy return with an update on their son, Izaiah, who was left partially paralyzed and brain damaged after being struck by a drunk driver. Plus, Dr. Phil has yet another surprise for the young couple! And, find out how you can help Izaiah’s future.
