Love After Lockup cast member Chelsea Gilliam says her nerves are on edge. Her inmate boyfriend, Michael Harmon, is to be released from prison, and her anxiety is out of control. A few things have changed for both of them, and she is unsure how she feels about it.
Love After Lockup: Chelsea Gilliam Not Ready for Intimate Relationship with Michael Harmon
Chelsea Gilliam confides in her close friend Beth that her anxiety over her inmate boyfriend Michael Harmon’s release is getting out of control. She explains to her friend that she worries about being alone with Michael. The Love After Lockup star knows that it has been a long time since Michael has been with a woman and will expect to sleep with her.
She tells her friend there is a huge problem. She is nervous about being with him for a few reasons. First, they have only had one in-person visit together since they met. Second, she is feeling self-conscious. She has not been intimate with a man in more than four years.


Beth tells her that it is normal to feel nervous. But there is more to it. She has something important to tell him and is afraid of how he will react to the news. So, she says that she plans to take things very slow with him. She wants to take time for them to get to know each other better before she jumps into bed with him.
Chelsea of Love After Lockup adds that she fears he will get upset with her. This is because not only does she want to wait for a physical relationship, but she wants to wait for six months. She is unsure how he will take this news but says she already has her mind made up.
Michael Admits to WEtv Girlfriend He is Going Deaf
There is another issue that the Love After Lockup couple Michael and Chelsea will face. He recently told her that he is going deaf. He needs to wear a hearing aid full-time because he can’t hear anything without it. This is troubling for her because not only is she deaf, but she has only been in relationships with hearing men. So, this will be an adjustment for her as well.
Besides the apparent adjustments the two will need to make. There are also family issues. WEtv viewers will remember Chelsea’s dad, Steve, is suspicious of her relationship with Michael. He thinks his daughter is making a mistake. It caused a huge argument between them. She also has concerns about his family. She loves that they have accepted her, especially his mom, Pamela, but feels uneasy about fully trusting them.
Love After Lockup: Chelsea’s Fears May Cost Her Everything
Chelsea Gilliam also has another considerable concern. She is unsure if Michael Harmon will be permitted to serve his parole in Ohio. He is supposed to live with his sister, Courtney, while on parole. But she hopes they can change that. If not, it will be difficult for them to build a relationship.
