'RHOP': Monique Samuels upset she and husband Chris no longer date, says she doesn't want to be a 'booty call'
In the next episode of 'Real Housewives of Potomac' Monique and her husband, Chris Samuels, butt heads over the dwindling spark in their relationship post the arrival of their youngest baby, Chase Omari. The mother of three caught up with her husband over a flute of wine to go over everything she was missing while Chris too had his own complaints.
"Where my dinner at? You used to make me plates when I was pregnant," she said while Chris laughed it off. Later on, he jokingly countered her query asking what happened to the time she used to cook dinner for him, insinuating that it's not just him that's lacking on effort and that it's a two-way street. Monique further tried to hash out the problems that have started to interfere with their relationship, one of them was the division of chores between them. She told him that she shoulders most of the burden in the relationship and even when she's out of town, she takes the onus to ensure he has a lot of help to get through, in her absence. In response to this, Chris tells her that she should go ahead and hire help if she needs it and he'll pay for all of it but Monique is not impressed by this.
In a confessional, she says money isn't going to spark happiness for her and she needs to see Chris putting in the same effort that he used to before they had children. She tells him that she does have the help she needs for a couple of hours in a day but what she also needs is for some of the pressure to be taken off her when it comes to their marriage and relationship. At this point, Chris still keeps insisting that she has the reign over their finances and she can get her hands on anything that she needs at this point, and once again she has to explain to him that it is more than just that.
She laments over the fact that they no longer date and when they do its because she takes the time and effort out to set everything up and that needs to change. Chris too puts his set of concerns on the table saying there are times when he's frustrated when his needs aren't met while Monique says that doesn't want to be just a "booty call" and it would be nice if he could make her feel "pursued". She tells him that she needs to be taken out for breakfast dates, that's something Chris needs to start doing to make her feel better. In the end, she was able to put her point across clearly and Chris agreed to make certain changes to put all her complaints at rest.
