This is so sad. Firstly, He’s wasn’t ugly at all, what the heck, he had great hair, friendly smile, tall build, looks aren’t everything but this certainly wasn’t true and it prevented him from finding someone who would actually value him. He seemed like such a great guy. It makes me so sad when people destroy people’s self-esteem so far that they can’t see themselves as they are.

The tragedy is that his high school bullying convinced him that he was ugly. Based on his yearbook photo, he was going through an awkward stage but he was hardly beyond the pale. Mind you, bullying is always less about the victim's actual traits and more about the bullies' cruelty and desire to dominate. If he hadn't been tormented like this, or if he'd had access to counseling to help him deal with it, he wouldn't have become easy prey for the likes of Rebecca. 😢

[@faulltw]

I disagree. I was bullied all through school and was not considered attractive, but that only served to make me a stronger person and made me more defensive. I do agree he didn’t want to give up what he viewed as possibly his only shot at having a relationship. Very sad how we treat each other.

[@zannigan222]

I agree. I was listening to this without watching and when Dr Grande said how unattractive Bruce was. I had to look. I said " He wasn't so bad"! He definitely got better looking as he matured. But adolescent bullying stays with you your entire life and distorts your self image.

He looks like a very sexy Freddy Mercury... she looks very average...

[@randomhumanoidblob4506]

I've noticed that many teenagers that are not conventionally attractive actually grow into very good-looking people - the strong features that overwhelm their face when younger become striking as they grow into their adult looks. But, of course, by that time the emotional damage is done. I don't think he was ever especially unattractive but as an adult he most definitely wasn't. I know it goes both ways, but there is something really evil in women who play men like this. It's so sad, he deserved a wife who built him up, but he got.....this. And she wasn't even particularly attractive, she was hardly trophy wife territory. Meh. I hate narcs and users of any gender, but I think because I'm female, I particularly despise this sort of woman. Apart from anything else, they contribute to the stereotype which has an effect on the perception of us all. Vile woman and poor Bruce.

I actually have had a similar story, the only difference being that I physically survived it, but lost all my assets in the process.

That isnot helped by a system intent on brainwashing boys that all men are bad and must atone and confess for the original sin of being male.

[@Khaotic450]

I had never heard of this case before. The callousness of Rebecca preying on Bruce’s low self esteem was totally abhorrent. Making him beg and humiliating him at almost every single turn cheeses me off. She’s awful. Bruce sounded like a good guy. He obviously needed some guidance to be aware of vultures like Rebecca to stop from being taken advantage, but hey, I’m sure we’ve all been naive at some point or another in our lives. I know I have. Either way he deserved better. RIP. And thank you for another insightful analysis, Dr. Grande! Stay awesome. 😎

[@bettinabarry8423]

What a perfect storm of a tragedy 😢 Bruce was an innocent babe, and that woman was a vicious wolf! Very glad Bruce had some justice, and those scumbags are in prison for the rest of their lives! Thank you again, Dr. Grande, for your excellent analysis 👏

What a crying shame for Bruce. I lived in Whittier for a couple of years. There are many beautiful areas there - such as Friendly Hills. This woman is pure evil. As a former life insurance agent, the insured would need to have a physical prior to the policy going into effect. So the buyer of the policy can forge it if they want, but it's actually not valid anyway

[@buttercup3094]

I had a hard time getting over Bruce's 70's hair, but he was certainly not bad looking as a young man, and as a mature adult aged better better than average, in my opinion. It is always surprising when people don't ask people out for a date because they are sensitive about their looks. They don't even seem to consider asking out the less attractive people who might jump at the offer! And then there are people like Rebecca, who are not particularly attractive, but never lack for romantic attention.

This is very disturbing to me. I had to step away for awhile. Why do bad things happen to loving people. Why didn't she get the death penalty. I'm not for the death penalty but for her I'd make an exception. Why Bruce why....because you loved someone that did not love you back. There is a woman that would love you.....you never met her .... Rebecca robbed you of that too.

A very important lesson in what happens when you have a lack of boundaries in a relationship as well as holding to ideals of someone not congruent with how they treat you.

[@sj3969]

Yes! Unfortunately, the lesson of this story is being missed by most of the comment section who wants to point finders at genders. PEOPLE, HUMANS have the capacity for bad things. Stop allowing yourselves to be taken on rides because you want sex/companionship. See the person for who they are, not what you hope they will be.

Her husband knows as people in his circle all try to beat some sense into him and would not leave.

Nonsense. What does the current "PUA" trend and illegal sex tourism consist of, if not 99% men? Occasionally some conniving females try to copy the wicked ways of dishonest confidence tricksters, but the balance remains heavily on the male side of the equation.

[@Bavanai]

As a man that recently got separated from a narcissistic woman with histrionic traits this was incredibly chilling to see. Makes me wonder where it could have led if I didn't improve my insight and self-esteem through introspection enough to decide to divorce from her. She managed to get a restraining order against me on bogus charges to save her image and appear as the victim, but the divorce trials is coming where, I'll likely be from the start seen as the perpetrator due to my gender. Don't care, all I want is to get divorced from this creature and send her back to the shithole she came from (while I'm not rich, I'm a EU citizen and she's from South America and this is the supply that she was getting from me). I just want her gone from my life. Attacked my image, my friend group, my job.

[@Cec9e13]

Okay, take note, everyone - Bruce in high school, admittedly not good-looking, turned into a reasonably attractive man. Time and time again, teens who look like something the cat drug in either grow into their features, or simply learn how to do their hair/makeup/clothing more attractively, which raises their confidence and accomplishes the same end. Teens need to know this happens.

Has anyone noticed that most of the time when a man manipulates a woman it’s either physical, psychological or emotional abuse but when a woman manipulates a man it’s always seen as he was stupid, weak or desperate. The negativity is on the man.

Men do the same. Anyone with low self esteem, social anxiety, no romantic prospects are in danger of meeting someone who could use them, regardless their sex. Here is the extreme example that ended with murder, but many people that survived such relationships, struggle with financial and emotional damages after..

I was married to a psychopath. Chronic liar, thief. Things changed for the worse when I had a son with him. He refused to even touch the baby. When my son was 12 months old, I had a horrible premonition that he was going to kill the baby. I left and filed for divorce. During the divorce it became known that he had purchased a big payout of life insurance on the baby! I called his ex wife, and learned that he had pointed a loaded gun at their baby daughter. Thank God for my intuition! He died back in 2016.
