Theresia Fischer: With ex Thomas she had a “toxic relationship”
In the MDR format “Fundbro der Liebe” the episode from August 29, 2023 is actually about drawings by Theresia’s current friend Stefan. In the approximately 16-minute video, the exGNTMcandidate from 2019 but primarily about her marriage to ex Thomas. When she met him in May 2015, he gave her the following feeling: “You don’t have to pretend for anything, you can be who you are and your heart is in the right place.” For Theresia “too good to be true. For the first moment. He was incredibly charismatic, incredibly smart, accommodating,” she recalls.
Then the first changes in the relationship dynamics would have set in. In Thomas’ eyes, Theresia was “too colourful, too flashy, too girly”. And she accepted and implemented his wishes. “Maybe I have to develop myself further,” she describes her thoughts at the time. “Until at some point he came around the corner with a very absurd idea”: In 2015, her ex brought the subject of leg lengthening to the table for the first time. Theresia was 1.70 meters tall at the time, but Thomas would “really like this type of model.” His enthusiasm and relentlessness would have led her to opt for leg lengthening. She allowed herself to be influenced by him and was “like a lull”.
Shock confession: “That’s not right, it makes you sick”
At this point, Theresia would have already remarked: “That’s not right. And it makes you sick. And it destroys you. But you’ve built up such a dependency all of a sudden.” According to Thomas, she quotes an interview: “You can’t do anything without me. You need me.” And goes on to explain: “If you’re told that 20, 30, 60, 70 times, then you believe it. (…) You’re nothing without him. You need him. I just have to say it like it is : He’s a narcissist.”
Theresia’s current boyfriend Stefan “freed” her from her marriage
During her marriage to Thomas, Theresia maintained friendly contact with her former ex Stefan for many years. She describes him as her “childhood love” but he broke up with her because she was too young for him. When Stefan found out that she had married Thomas, he developed “an unbelievable anger,” says Theresia. He made her understand that if she stayed with Thomas, she would lose more and more of her independence. And gave the decisive impetus: “He freed me from a very strong toxic relationship.”
He organized a moving truck for her and gave her two weeks to part with Thomas. Until the very end, he didn’t believe that Theresia wanted to go through with the divorce, she recalls. “Stephan stood there and welcomed me with open arms, (…) it was all so surreal for me at the moment. Those were tears of joy that came out of him. I also started to cry.” When she sat in the car with him, a stone fell from her heart. “What a liberation.”
