After a whirlwind romance, Welcome to Plathville's Moriah Plath called it quits with Max Kallschmidt, but fans have theories on their breakup. The loved-up couple was inseparable for all of season 3. But after a rocky summer and a move to Tampa, Moriah learned that love wasn't enough to keep them together.
Right before the Welcome to Plathville season 4 premiere, Max and Moriah's relationship was put under the microscope after fans learned that the Georgia native cheated on Moriah. Max confirmed his breakup with the singer in early February, even though the issues occurred back in October. Fans were not surprised to hear about their failed relationship since there have been rumors of their split for months. Throughout the last two seasons of Welcome to Plathville, Moriah and Max were in a serious relationship that resulted in Max giving her a promise ring. However, it seems promises couldn't be kept thanks to one indiscretion on Max's part.
As fans watched Moriah share the sad news with her family, some couldn't help but speculate about what caused the breakup. One fan noted on Reddit that it looked like Lydia had a "crush on Max" after asking Moriah if she could still text him. Viewers also were not impressed with Max's "fake crying" and felt like he was trying to save face. According to the former couple, the breakup was caused by a kiss, but Welcome To Plathville fans believe there is more to the story. Many feel it had to have been more than a kiss to end the relationship, but others pointed out that a kiss is still considered cheating.
While Max was the first to share the breakup news in a tearful YouTube video, the post seemed to be an attempt to save face. The video even included a few incriminating lines used by Max that have led fans to believe that there was infidelity within the relationship. Welcome to Plathville viewers were upset with Max, especially since he often spoke about wanting to marry Moriah one day. Max didn't turn out to be Moriah's knight in shining armor.
Max was mainly perceived as the perfect boyfriend, but a few issues arose during the Welcome to Plathville star's courtship that left fans concerned. One of the issues that Max, who might be misunderstood, brought up during season 3 was the fact that he didn't like how Moriah dressed. At the time, Max shared that the singer's skimpy clothes could be getting her some unwanted attention from men. While TLC fans slammed him for making such a statement, the red flags were ignored. Since she ignored the red flags, Moriah is now in the middle of heartbreak.
