When P was dating N the show would focus on their relationship. He often came across as a 'player' and would even admit it but she would come across as a diva. I honestly was shocked when he said they were getting married. I believe she was still in FL and he was here for most of the beginning. Their wedding and my wedding were about the same time. I remember P and N getting into huge and nasty fights on air- the awkward fights that make you want to change the channel. He would call her up to bitch about something and they would start screaming at each other. Mostly it was about her wanting this over the top wedding, her over the top bachelorette party etc. Once they were married a few years it seemed like they would have their fights at home but he would bring up a summary on the air. Anyway, I just remember thinking they were certainly one of those couples who loved to fight.
I remember many instances when he would talk about her spending. Starting a policy about if you are going to spend more than $200 it had to be cleared by the other person. Maybe that was him being controlling or maybe that was her with spending problems. Do other couples have that policy? He's the breadwinner, he's super successful, she does pinterest. He probably is controlling and can be hard to live with. I've met quite a few uber successful men and they tend to have some similar traits. Doesn't mean the wife is flying her family in secret, putting them up in a hotel in secret, and leaving the house with nothing except a clear message that she can, will, and has taken everything that means anything to him. To me it seems strange he would come home to an empty house and fall asleep. But that's because that is strange in my house. I have friends who will leave, spend the night with a friend etc, when they get into a fight and that's normal in their home. My guess is they were fighting about something on and off for awhile- his medical issues, maybe she doesn't like living here, he bought her an expensive house to make her like it...anyone's guess.
While I do think he uses his family for ratings I don't think a grown man would be weeping on the radio for 30 min over something that wasn't true. if you didn't hear it, you shouldn't be speculating if it was real or not. And the guy has ADHD, no wonder he ranted the way he did. The whole conversation he had with himself was a running stream of consciousness and really didn't follow an outline (for your Type As). None of us here knows the true timeline. And last time I checked, you can post a picture from a few months ago today and people might think I'm in Australia but I'm not. And maybe they agreed to keep posting to make it seem that everything was ok. Who knows.
Bottom Line-
He said too much
She left him
They should have gone to therapy
I absolutely agree with all of this.
