'Married to Medicine': Britten dodges questions on intimacy issues with Mack, does she fear being judged?
As promised, 'Married to Medicine: Los Angeles' has started to test marriages and friendships but in a gradual manner. However, Shanique Drummond and Lia Dias's feud has reached a new, mind-numbing level. But that's not the only scoop of drama this Bravo show has to offer its viewers.
On paper, Britten Cole and husband Mack Major make for an ideal couple but off of it, their relationship isn't a bed of roses. And, the underlying cause could be intimacy issues.
Last week, Mack and Britten were spending their time having a conversation when their son, Mack Jr., jumped into the bed indicating that it was time for bed and for Mack to go into the other room and sleep.
During the green-room interview, Mack said how it bothered him that their son would sleep in his bed whereas he'd have to find a spot someplace else in the house. He wasn't direct but he did express a slight annoyance about not being able to sleep in the same bed with Britten.
He travels a lot, which means he's only around for two days a week. And to spend the limited time in separation would tick anyone off. However, Britten thinks of it as an adjustment they'd have to make because kids are used to having her around and therefore wish to sleep in the same bed as her when Mack is traveling.
Today, we see her friends confront her about the sleeping situation, to which she responded defensively. Britten shook her head and confirmed that she doesn't have intimacy issues with Mack.
Is she in denial or does she fear judgment?
Britten's good friend Imani Walker's husband, Phil Johnson, has been away for over three months. And she has had to explain herself a lot because of that. On and off, the ladies have speculated about what could have kept the couple (Imani-Phil) apart and most of the time, they've come up with just one guess - Phil may be over Imani.
This could be running through Britten's mind. The more people discuss, the more fodder they'll have for gossip and by the end of it all, she'll be explaining herself to everyone. Either this or maybe she is not prepared to accept the fact that the butterflies and sparkles have left their marriage.
But, these are mere shots in the dark because Britten hasn't directly addressed these issues on the show or off of it. In a chat with MEA WorldWide, Britten shared how difficult it had gotten to discuss her personal life on camera but she eventually managed.
"I think anytime you have cameras in front of you, whether your sharing something personal or you know being comedic or whatever it is, it's always kind of difficult to do that because you know someone's watching it's just hard in general, whatever you're doing it's hard to have a camera in front of you talking about things that are personal between my, my husband definitely was difficult but because it was real and it was personal," she had pointed out.
