Tyler has been doing all of the work, spending so much time in the house, and when the floor gets buckled and messes up, he's freaking out and worried how they'll fix it. But Catelynn just doesn't seem to care! The contractor was saying expensive it would be to fix and when Tyler asked Cate what she thought, she's just chewing on her fingers and practically rolling her eyes. She couldn't care where they live, as long as they have a big enough couch.
And then when Tyler is trying to discuss it with her, she's ignoring him, interrupting him, and chasing after Nova. Tyler looks so frustrated by that. So much for them being soulmates. They can't even have a conversation together.
I completely agree that shes an anchor in his life. I've always thought that Catelynn's influence was holding him back. Sure, everyone is responsible for their own actions but your partner does influence you.
I have always felt that if Tyler was with more of a go getter who was active and not lazy like Catelynn is, that he would also be more of a go getter. I think being around a person who only wants to sit on the couch and do nothing definitely puts you in the habit of doing nothing as well because you want to be around your partner. Cate brings him down, bottom line. It's obvious her depression is rubbing off on him. Sometimes partners of depressed people start getting depressed themselves. His mom said she notices hes been depressed lately. Catelynn is toxic to his health.
He definitely needs to leave her for all the reasons stated above. And its really mean but let's be real, Catelynn literally looks like a grandmother. Her morbidly obese body is awful and very grandma like. She doesn't dress nicely or fix herself up to make up for it, her face isn't pretty.
I dont for a second buy that Tyler finds her beautiful and attractive like he says. Hes a young guy and sure, hes no Tom Hardy but hes not awful looking. Hes only been with catelynn and he should really experience other women who he is insanely attracted to.
Staying with catelynn is delaying the inevitable. Hes going to have an insane midlife crisis if he doesn't get out now. Any later and more children will likely be involved thus hurting more people. I think hes waiting for the show to end and for some of that reality tv show fame to dissipate so he's not judged by as many people. Even though sorry, who can blame the guy for leaving her. If she had more going for her I would say that it's cool that hes with her. But the fact that shes so unattractive AND has nothing going for herself..why should he stay?
I can see some potential in Tyler with the right influence. I see none in Catelynn. Put a fork in her, she's done. She's given up. She's let herself go.
Exactly. He's not gorgeous but he's ok and to some handsome. I could easily see him with someone bright and cheery. A woman that is physically fit and would travel with him And support him going. Back to school.
Catelynn is Tyler's downfall and his mother knows it. They are doomed.
At this point it is inevitable that he's going to leave. Cate is making everyone around her miserable playing the victim when it suits her etc. and isn't a very involved mom. She's either going to have to step it up, get pregnant again asap or he's going to leave her sooner rather than later. If she keeps blowing money on pointless junk it's going to push him to leave faster because I think he knows the money won't be there forever and that Cate is never going to willingly work.
I really, really hope they don't have another baby.
I can see a divorce happening for these two and it's not even about looks. Tyler needs a better PARTNER!!!! It's like he's the father and raising Nova and Cate on his own.
I never thought Tyler was the best guy but at this point in their lives he needs to pull a Jeremy and just move on. At least he really stuck it out because Jeremy got of the marriage the moment things hit the fan with Leah.
Like someone said, Tyler was just a product of his circumstances when he was a teenager but he's going into his mid twenties and you can see that he really wants to change. It's just that Catelynn brings him down. If he were with someone who actually showed him there's a world besides this MTV thing like his mother has been saying he would get the message. He needs to be be with someone who he's attracted to because you can tell he's not. He needs someone who motivates him. I noticed that he liked working on the house even though it was frustrating. It gave him something to do. Maybe he can work on houses like Matt.
I just don't like it how depressed he looks sometimes. He needs a girl like Maci minus the making babies part. Even a girl like Farrah without the awful personality but to find a girl like her he would have to actually get out there and date. Girls like her don't fall into his lap.
"I never hear you speak and when you do you apologize for saving me?"
CATE has been like this from DAY ONE!!!! You are all acting as if she were so go-getter-turned-lazy, and that's not the case at all.
Tyler fell in a love with someone who wasn't ambitious - and you know what - that's OK!! Tyler is an adult, whose successes and failures should not be measured in regards to CATE!!! You heard his mom: finish SOMETHING!! So, that says right there, he too, his whole life, has not been ambitious.
These lazy lovebirds got lucky with a show that pays them great.....otherwise, they'd be livin' by the river in a van. NEITHER of them want to do shi*t!!
