Their relationship was initially marred by mistrust stemming from a past incident where Steve had seen someone else during a period when their relationship status was undefined. Although they later committed to exclusivity, Debbi harbored lingering resentment, leading to heightened jealousy and the implementation of lie detector tests upon Steve’s return home, alongside scrutinizing his bank and phone records.
In a subsequent interview, Steve reassured that lie detector tests were now infrequent occurrences, attributing the change to improved trust and communication within their relationship.
Aside from lie detector tests, their relationship also entails restrictions on Steve’s television viewing habits. Debbi expressed discomfort with Steve potentially admiring women on TV commercials, leading to a ban on programs featuring women altogether.
Their story offers a glimpse into the complexities of managing jealousy and trust within relationships, underscored by compassion and resilience in navigating adversity together.
