‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Season 14: Shane ditching Emily on Valentine's Day has fans worried about their marriage

RHOC housewife Emily Simpson celebrated Valentines Day and her 10th wedding anniversary without her husband Shane by her side
PUBLISHED AUG 14, 2019

The second episode of ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ season 14 had us all fuming at Emily Simpson’s husband Shane.

Shane has been preparing for the California bar exam for several months.

In order to focus better, he moves out of the house he shares with his wife and three children to his parents’ home.

Emily, a successful attorney herself, supported her husband’s decision and did everything possible to make everything as smooth as possible for Shane.

This means she took on the responsibility of caring for their three children, running the household and working.

In the second episode, we see Emily hosting a dinner party for Shane’s mother’s birthday and invites his family over.

During their dinner, the conversation shifts to Shane, and his absence from the party.

Emily gently puts across that she threw the party so that Shane could spend an evening with his family.

A visibly upset Emily then calls him to check his whereabouts.

Shane snaps at her and asks her not to disturb him and hangs up rudely.

In the confessional, an emotional Emily says she deserves a little more respect in this situation considering she’s doing everything by herself.

The audience couldn’t help but feel sorry for poor Emily.

A fan wrote, “@RealOCEmily could do much better than Shane. How disrespectful and rude. I love her.”

Everybody seems concerned about Shane’s mysterious absence from his mother’s birthday party. We do understand that the bar exam is tough, but that doesn’t mean that one can’t take out an evening to spend time with their family.

Another fan tweeted, “There are 24 hours in a day and Shane can't spare 1 to celebrate his parent's birthday with his family. Hmmmmmm seems like something else is up. #RealHousewives #realhousewivesoforangecounty #rhoc”.

Towards the end of the episode, we see Emily spending her Valentine’s Day with her children and without Shane.

The fact that their 10th anniversary falls on that day and Shane was nowhere in the picture has us all concerned about their marriage.

Is Shane having an affair, or are the Simpsons headed towards splitsville?

Fans feel that something seems off about the entire situation.

One fan wrote, “Emily is making excuses for Shane. The bar exam does not require studying for 10 hours a day. That boy is playing house elsewhere. #RHOC”.

“#Rhoc Shane is either refusing to be on camera bc he looked like(and was) an ass last season, the 2 of them are separated, or he is the absolute worst human on the planet. This whole storyline is NOT FUN to watch. @Andy @RealOCEmily”, added another fan.

Emily deserves more respect and we hope that she realizes it soon.
