A brave woman shared her story about why she made her husband take lie detector tests regularly, showing how jealousy can affect relationships. She talked about it on ITV’s This Morning in 2013 with her husband, Steve, and hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. Debbi, who some call the ‘world’s most jealous woman,’ explained that the idea came from a comment Steve made about taking a lie detector test to prove he was telling the truth.
This got Debbi thinking, so she bought a lie detector test kit. Their relationship had trust issues from before when Steve saw someone else during a time when they weren’t officially together. Even though they later committed to each other, Debbi still felt hurt, leading to more jealousy and the lie detector tests, along with checking Steve’s bank and phone records. Debbi said, “Well, when you’ve got a good man, you’re not going to let him go, are you?” In another interview, Steve said lie detector tests weren’t happening as much anymore because their trust and communication had improved. Besides the lie detector tests, Debbi also limits what Steve can watch on TV. She doesn’t like him watching ads with women, so they don’t watch shows with women in them.
The discussion went deeper into Debbi’s inner battles, uncovering her diagnosis of Othello Syndrome, a condition where someone wrongly believes their partner is being unfaithful. Despite this struggle, Steve highlighted the strength of their bond and the happiness they share together.
Their story gives insight into the challenges of dealing with jealousy and trust in relationships. It shows how they support each other through tough times with understanding and determination.
