Amy Slaton from 1000-lb Sisters was in a turbulent marriage with her husband Michael Halterman for some time, causing her to lose weight. The mother of two has been working hard after qualifying for her gastric bypass surgery during 1000-lb Sisters season 1. Now with one less stressor, Amy is able to concentrate on herself.
1000-lb Sisters' Amy Slaton and Michael first met when they were just young children, but sparked an instant connection. The couple reconnected when Amy was in high school, and Michael worked as a local mill operator. Even though there was a slight age difference, the two seemed to be a match made in heaven. However, as Amy started to get her health on track over the years, Michael began to pull away. Once the couple welcomed their two sons, Gage and Glenn Allen, into the world, it seemed that neither had the same goal anymore regarding their future.
1000-Lb Sisters' Amy Slaton Started To Pull Away
As Amy tried her best to welcome in her new healthier lifestyle, a lot of the time, it didn't seem as though Michael supported her endeavor. The most recent season of 1000-lb Sisters has shown that Michael is not the most helpful husband. As Amy became thinner and more able, Michael took a considerable step back from the shared household duties. In recent months, Michael has come across as lazy and entitled, feeling as if Amy can now care for the home and the children just because she has lost weight.
1000-Lb Sisters' Amy Slaton Gained Confidence
Amy gained more confidence than she probably ever had, thanks to her slimmer body. Her newfound belief in herself due to her weight loss could've rocked Michael to his core. For years, the father of two was who Amy leaned on when she needed the simplest things in life. Whether it was someone to provide for her, pick up food, or even clean the house, Michael was the go-to guy. Now with Amy being more physically able, it could be that Michael started to feel emasculated, essentially putting a nail into their marriage.
Amy and Michael have just recently confirmed they were getting a divorce, and the 1000-lb Sisters star has been spending more time with her sister, Tammy Slaton. She has also posted a few updates that showed her smiling with a new designer purse and her two children. It looks like nothing will stop Amy from getting rid of the dead weight in her life, and that includes her once-beloved husband.
