'Welcome To Plathville': Ethan and Olivia think about separating from family as they feel pressure from Kim and Barry
Kim and Barry have strong opinions about how their children should be raised but things have been taking a different turn ever since Olivia came into the family. Olivia's lifestyle does not match up to the expectation of Kim and Barry and it seems to take a toll on their relationship.
In today's episode of 'Welcome To Plathville', Olivia and Ethan thought about their future and how things looked for them if they decided to stay in the family. Olivia felt the pressure from Kim and Barry, which made her think that they would never welcome her with an open arm.
Ethan opened up about not liking the way his parents spoke to Olivia. Barry had hinted that Olivia had certain blind spots because of which they would never be able to trust her with things. Ethan did not appreciate how his father reacted towards Olivia while adding that these problems denied them the joy of a new marriage.
He confessed that the conversation made him angry. Olivia and Ethan have been married for nine months and he felt that he was caught in the middle of their difference. However, as things passed by he came to terms with how things were going and stated that he wanted to stand with his wife.
Olivia, on the other hand, confessed that looking at how things were heading, it was a breaking point for her and Ethan. While Ethan was upset to see the family dynamics he made it clear that he loved Olivia and wasn't letting her go. However, it made him wonder how he should handle the things in the family.
He wondered if he should let them go completely or should he wait and hope for things to become better in the future. Olivia added that they could keep trying but the big question then was for how long. At this point, Ethan suggested that they always had the option of moving away.
However, he worried about his sisters remembering him if he moved away. The pair finally decided to let things go and enjoy a quiet time together and focus on the positive things in life.
'Welcome To Plathville' airs on Tuesdays at 10 pm on TLC.
