I cant wait to watch the couples tough love, im hoping it can give me and my boyfriend a sense of what is reality in our relationship. Sometimes i question weather we are right for eachother, but then i also think we are.
We have been together a little over a year. He hasnt been too romantic yet, and im not quit sure how to help him over come his fear.. maybe of it. I would love to go out on a romantic date or even just have him do something sweet for me alone.
I put in an app for this show. I watch tough love and feel that they could have some good insight as to how to be happy again. we got alot of things wrong but we love each other and i truly believe we can work it out. i wanna spend the rest of my life with this man.
I have problems with my fiancee, but I can’t imagine our problems being bad enough for the show. I’m sure they’d just tell us we are fine and move on… but I can tell there is something off in my relationship. GAH. If only reality TV wasn’t looking for just the crazy people. And I would never be able to convince my fiancee of trying this method of counseling anyways.
I’m a 32 year old waitress dating a 23 year old veterinary student. Having just passed our three year mark, this is by far the longest relationship my boyfriend has ever been in. I’ve never been married, no kids, but have a history of long term emotionally abusive relationships. So, like most girls I have issues with trust. This guy I’m with now is definitely the best, most mature guy I’ve ever dated. Unfortunately I feel like we’re on different paths that don’t necessarily lead to the same place. I need help to see whether this relationship is worth pursuing, as I hope it is, or if we’re just wasting out time!
I would love to have my boyfriend and I on the show. We have some issues and I don’t think either of us understand what they are.
i think my boyfriend an i really needa be on here! where do i sign up?
my fiance and I have a two year! We need help. This is the last stop I just. If you guys can’t help I just we are done!!!! She says she isn’t in love with me and I am head over heeld for her. We had our share of problems in the past. But nothing I feel we can’t workout. Please help me save my family!
i just submitted an application! does anyone know what the age requirement is? im only 20…
I’d LOVE to be on the show, but convincing my boyfriend wouldbe really hard. We’ve been together for 4 1/2 years and he just now admitted that he’s not happy. I have no clue what to do, he says that his happiness is out of my control.
Does this apply to people that have literally been married for 11yrs??? Sad but true separated twice just not quite sure i love my husband and never want him to not be in my life but are we holding each other back from finding that person that we would truely be haapy with. Please don’t think I am crazy but I truely love him so much that if he would be happier with someone else I want that for him. We have a 11 yr old boy and I also have a 14yr old boy?? Don’t know just think we both deserve happiness I would love to be that as a family but if it can’t be I want both of us to be happy and my children to to happy as well!! thank you please consider this I truely want happiness and I want it for both of us even if it means we do it sparetley
OMG I really hope me and my boyfriend get chosen for the show we really need professional help.
me and my boy NEED to be on the show, I love tough love and this is such a great idea.
I need this bad! I am at a loss!
This mother and father team is so good at match making. Not to mention the help he gets for these woman. Now he is going to help couples the bad thing about it is he wants unmarried couples. I feel that the real problems dont really come until after the marriage and if the problems are there before hand then it isnt has hard to fix them than if they were married. All they have to do is split up with little to none ties binding. When are there going to be a tough love for married couples. WE SURE DO NEED IT!!!
OMG, My boyfriend and I just starting dating. We both are pass the ”dating” portion and wanted to become exclusive to really get to know each other. He has trust issues and so do I. We really want this to work but neither one of us knows really how to do this. I think we are compatiable with each other, as we compliment each other in many ways. And as stubborn and bossy as i am, i find my self ”wanting” to back down, but then the protective walls comes up again.
I think he is the one, I just cant tell myself that, and i think he feels the same ( just based on his actions)
WE SO NEED THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
me and my girlfriend signed up for the show and apparently they hate lesbians!!!!! so im done i hate this show and everything it stands for. you have all these pathetic girls wanting to ‘fix’ their relationships… I know the solution… DATE A GIRLS STUPIDS!!!
I wish i could convince my fiance to go on this show. We are newly engaged, and im just not sure its going to work. He has anger issues like no other (no he’s never hit me) and he constantly thinks im cheating on him when im not. And when it comes to wedding plans he wont let me decide on anything. Its just so irritating. I mean i love him alot and i know i could make it work, im just not sure i want to live the rest of my life the way i am now. =[
Steve, please, please, please do a show for those of us over 50. We need your help just as much if not more than the couples you are about to have on the show.
My history:I’m 56 divorced. First date age 21,bad blind date. Second date age 23.Married him to not be alone forever. After one son and 13 yrs I divorced him in 91.
Had 5 blind dates in 94. They wanted one night stands (which I don’t do) or they wanted a mother for themselves or their many kids.
Steve I need your help DESPREATELY!!!! I can’t live without love, friendship, you know all of it, for the rest of my life. I don’t know why my life has been this way and why me. I hope you can help me find true love for the first time in my life.
Hope to hear from you soon, Sherry
Steve, I was wondering if you’re ever going to do a show with married couples. I know women should know if their husband is Mr Right before getting married, and I thought I did, but since getting married my husband has changed. It seems as though he was trying to impress me before we got married, but since we said our “I dos” he seems to have given up on romance, being a Partner in everything, and his patience. I don’t want to go through a divorce and I don’t believe in cheating to get what you’re missing from someone else, but I have been unhappy for OVER a year now. We’ve been married for almost 3 years now and I think I dealt with he’s neglect and frustration for the first 2 years but this last year I’ve had enough and really think I’d be happier with out him. We argue more than we laugh these days. I’ve tried telling him how I feel but he says he’s sorry and promises he won’t do these things again but the next day it’s back to arguing and no magic. All talk and broken promises these days. What do I do? I think your show would show us BOTH what we’re doing wrong.
Steve, I know its a long shot but i was just wondering if you’re ever going to do a show with married couples. I know i should have figured out if my husband was MR.RIGHT before i said i do but at the time i truely believed he was. Since getting married my husband has changed completely. It seems as though he is a totally different man not the one i wanted to spend the rest of my life with at all. It just seems like ever since we said our “I dos” he’s given up on alot. Rarely does he show any affection towards me, our conversations are usually cut short with minor disagreements which sometimes can turn really ugly so bad to the point where we wont talk for days. I almost feel like at times were just roommates i know thats pretty pathetic but true. His attitude is the worst and he cant help but to always throw in a smart comment every chance he gets just to make things worst rather than swallow his pride. The last thing i want is a divorce i strongly believe in the promises i made when i married him but im so miserable have been for a few months now and this marriage is slowly but surely wearing me down everyday. I don’t believe cheating is the answer although it has crossed my mind i could never go through with it. I dont think i can take much more of the neglect and frustration he has built up. we been only been married for a year now but i’m at my whits end and honestly believe if things dont change soon I’d be alot happier with out him. We argue way too much, more than we laugh now a days. I’ve try so hard to talk to him and work things out but all he does is take it way too personal never once looking at the bigger situation at hand. and other times he’ll apologize and promise me he won’t do these things again but the next day it’s back to arguing like as if we didnt just discuss things the day before. All talk and broken promises these days. So what options do i really have? is leaving really the answer? If you made a show for married couples i think you could really help not only us but many others in the same perdicament.
Hey Steve my name’s Danielle Felitto and I am 20 years old. I have been dating my boyfriend for 4 years on and off. I have already applied to be on tough love couples but I have new information to add to what I have written on our application. Aside from the fact that he has cheated on me 3 times in a very short amount of time I have also found out that every time I ask him to tell me the truth about a period of time when we were split up it takes a long time for him to come clean with the whole truth. This wouldn’t bother me so much and I wouldn’t even ask him what he did while we were apart if he didn’t make me go into excruciating detail about what I did while we were seperated. I am also afraid that since he does take a while to tell me the whole truth that if he does something that can cause him to contract an STD while we’re apart I won’t know until it’s too late. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve endured alot of things since the very begining of our relationship and he’s begining to realize all that he’s done to me but i’m starting to believe this is a too little too late situation. I would really love to be able to give him a full hearted whatever number chance he’s on now but I need to see big changes in his attitude and behavior and I sincerely believe that you can give us the help we need to get back on the right track. So please please please consider us for your show because unfortunately this is becoming a real last ditch effort. Thank you for your time and consideration. Danielle Felitto
Hey Steve I seemed to have left something else out. I wouldn’t be so worried about about the cheating except my boyfriend’s going to school for film. He wants to be a director and now I don’t know if I’ll be able to trust him in his work and I’m not willing to ask him to give up his dream. He’s wanted to be a director since about age 5 and now I’m terrified that with all the time we’ll be spending away from each other and him being around all these actresses who will be trying to get into his movies whatever way they know how that he’ll have plenty opportunities to cheat. please help me reestablish my trust in him; I desperately need the tools to rebuild the foundation of our relationship with trust and truthful communication.
Thanks again,
Danielle Felitto
Hi Steve and Joann,
I just put in an application for myself and my girlfriend. I see that a previous reader says that you “hate lesbians”. I’m praying that she’s just dealing with some personal issues, and that you’re still willing to give us a chance. We’re mature, honest, and in real need of some relationship assistance. And hey, this could be mutually beneficial, since VH1 viewers seem to be open to homosexuality. So, that’s my pitch. Not sure if anyone reads these other than those who visit the site, but hey- had to give it a shot.
hi steve and JoAnn my name is jasmine and me and my fiance sent in an app. for tough love couples and i was just woundering if you could send an email back so that i know you recivied it!!!!! thanks.
I would love for me and by boyfriend to be on the couple show but we can’t afford to miss work! I know our issues are common but they are still a pain in the butt! We love each other but have issues trusting one another. I have never cheated on a boyfriend but he cheated on his ex with me. I know he loves me and wouldn’t cheat but I still have my doubts when he’s out with the guys drinking! I wish I could let my doubts go! But it’s gonna take a lot to do that & I’m not sure where we start! Oh did I mention he feels the same way even tho I’ve never cheated! Well I hope by watching the show it will help us!!! Good luck to the couples who were chosen I hope everything works out for the best!
i so wish i could get my on and off again bf on the couples show with me. we are both 18 and really young. But we both love each other but since its a long distance thing we always break up because of so many stupid issues and he never ever wants to talk about our issues and ever solve them and we pretty much go in circles we both think that we pretty much are meant to be because whenever we try to date somebody else it just doesnt feel right. I want things to work out we both think we could make it to marriage but these break ups are killing me and i dont know how much longer i can take because i dont want him out of my life but it will happen eventually.
I’d like to know if and when you will be doing a gay mens version of Tuff Luv. Its so hard to find a guality man that is open and willing to commit to one another. We all know how men think and thats the biggest obsticle we need to get over. I find myself to be a good catch. I’m in my early 30’s, smart, have a good job, great friends and am missing a piece. When BrokeBack Mountain came out it was like Ang Lee wrote my story. I never watched a movie that made me SOBB! But really if you do venture in this direction of ManLove I’d like to be a part of it.

me and my boyfriend should be on this show!we may be young (18), but we both know that our future lies with eachother, we have unoffically been together for five years.he cheated on me, we’ve broken up and slept with other people, we have gotten back together and been happy, then we fell in love with other people?Its been one hell of a ride but he’s always been in my heart no matter what city or town i was in.he would do anything for me and i know his love is real.but there is no trust in our relationship, we have been back together for less than a week and he still keeps in touch we girls that he’s slept with.we are in so much pain but want to move forward with our relationship and build a future.please help us Steve.
heyy do you guys know what the requirements are i signed up but im 19 and my boyfriend is 20 ?
I can’t wait to see the show. I want to keep my relationship healthy…me and my man are still very happy been dating a year. I think the key is to COMMUNICATE. If there’s a problem be vocal about it. Also, before you throw you’re whole heart into a guy watch for warning signs, they’re usually there. Women you should pick a mate that will do anything in their power to make you happy, as long as you are being reasonable. I think on and off again relationships are a joke, and I think even if your boyfriend sleeps when someone else when you’re on a break it’s still cheating, because he probably knows you two are going to get back together…and it really destroys any trust the two of you have, not to mention breaking up all the time does not result in a secure environment. Bottom line is you can’t be a total doormat (name calling, rudeness, or him blatantly ignoring you–should not be tolerated!) but on the other hand learn to pick your battles, men also don’t respond well to someone who is negative or bitchy all the time.Obviously, no one can be perfect all the time, but I want you ladies to know that there is such a thing as a nice guy! Someone who can be your constant companion–not just when he feels like it! So don’t settle for someone just because you don’t want to be alone!
Brooke Polk: Good luck getting on the show! Please let us know if you make it!
