“I need to be aware of this dynamic because I’ve been in controlling relationships before,” said Amber, 30. “He’s possessive from a distance, he needs to know what I’m doing all day every day,” she alleged.
Dimitri did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Tuesday.
Minutes later, Amber received a WhatsApp video call from Dimitri, who called from his home country and asked her what she was doing.
“Nothing, I’m outside, wondering why I’m getting a million messages,” she said.
Dimitri replied, “but it’s not my fault,” adding that he called her often “because I think of you. I love you, I miss you a lot.”
“There’s times where I feel like it’s getting a little much,” Amber told him, disclosing her feelings regarding their constant communication. “It’s turning into a very possessive situation and a very not healthy situation.”

Amber later discussed her relationship with ex Gary Shirley, telling him she had broken up with Dimitri.
“We’re not boyfriend and girlfriend,” she said. “He started getting to the point where he was calling and texting multiple, multiple, multiple times, all day long.”
Despite the breakup, Amber said she was “good for right now.”
“Oh my god, that’s so long,” said Cheyenne, 28. “Is that because of COVID?”
“Yeah, because of COVID,” Amber confirmed. “The thing is though, he’s such a sweet guy, he’s amazing,” she added of Dimitri, and claimed, “but he’s very possessive and jealous because he’s not here.”
“Well, keeping those boundaries is very important for you,” Catelynn, 28, reminded Amber.
