In this upcoming episode of Dr. Phil, a couple's marriage unravels in the wake of a midlife crisis, infidelity, and new romantic entanglements. The wife feels betrayed, claiming her husband "threw me away like a piece of trash."

When Dr. Phil confronts the husband about his affair, he admits to having a girlfriend during a midlife crisis, prompting Dr. Phil to ask if he simply "woke up stupid one morning."

The drama intensifies as the wife reveals that she, too, found someone new, describing how her legs buckled when she met her new boyfriend. When Dr. Phil inquires about their relationship, she admits she didn't just spend a weekend with him—she spent an entire week.

Just as the husband was ready to call it quits and asked for a divorce, the wife suggested he get his testosterone levels checked, believing that might be the cause of his behavior. But now, after seeing her with another man, the husband wants her back. Dr. Phil questions whether his midlife crisis is truly over or if jealousy has sparked his sudden change of heart.

Tune in to see if this couple can navigate their way through the turmoil and find a path forward. Check your local listings for air times.
