Welcome to Plathville’s Olivia Plath reveals she wants to ‘take some space’ from husband Ethan in a possible separation
WELCOME to Plathville stars Ethan and Olivia Plath discussed taking a break from each other in a preview of this week's episode.
The couple, who have been documenting their marriage issues on the TLC show, sat down for a difficult chat with producers.
Asked how that made him feel, Ethan replied, "I can't make sense of it, it doesn't make sense.
"I feel like I have worked so hard to give you a good life, to give us a good life at 22, and it wasn't good enough," he added.
Olivia went on to say there was a "growing divide" between the couple.
"I've lived with you for over two years and I wasn't what you wanted then, what you wanted then was this house and that job and those cars and this lifestyle," she said.
"There's a growing divide between us because he holds on to everything here and the more I distance myself from everything here and the more I realize that he wants to keep it the harder it is to reconcile in my mind."
"Have you ever thought about the fact that that might be because that's the only thing I have left?" Ethan asked.
Olivia added that she thinks they just want different things in life.
Olivia explained why she wanted to move to a bigger city while Ethan said he was happier in a rural town.
She then admitted that she suffered a pregnancy loss but was relieved it didn't happen.
"I did get pregnant. A little while back. And I miscarried." she said.
'I DON'T WANT A KID'
“I felt bad for being relieved, but I was so relieved because it was, like, a wake-up call of, like, 'I’m not ready to have a kid. I don’t want a kid.'"
Olivia recalled being the one always "guiding" Ethan after he moved out of his parents' home.
"For a while it worked, it worked being the one showing new things and giving new experiences and like, guiding him along."
Olivia then admitted to Moriah, "I want a relationship that is equal."
"I can go to therapy, I can try to heal and process and grow, but I can't do that for Ethan."
