For four seasons, Olivia Plath has been trying to mold Ethan Plath into her perfect man but Welcome to Plathville fans aren't buying it. The couple has had their fair share of ups and downs, and now they seem to be at an impasse. While Ethan has tried his best to branch out and be more adventurous, it never seems enough for Olivia.
Ethan and Olivia have shown multiple red flags throughout their three-year relationship. The couple met while they were attending a family retreat in 2014 and had an instant connection. Olivia revealed to the cameras that they didn't have much privacy as their family kept a close eye on them, so they made sure to exchange addresses so they could write letters. The Welcome to Plathville stars had a long-distance relationship for two years before tying the knot in 2016. However, instead of living happily ever after, Olivia and Ethan have encountered a few bumps in the road.
TLC viewers can't help but notice how sad Olivia and Ethan come across in their marriage. Instead of laughing and enjoying their time together, the couple often discusses heavy topics and adds unneeded stress into their life. It has been hard for Olivia to love from the fans since many feel she ripped Ethan from his hometown of Cairo, Georgia. Most Welcome To Plathville fans were not impressed that she got him to leave behind his family, friends, and support system. While it is obvious that Ethan will do almost anything to please her, it feels as if Olivia has outgrown her marriage.
Another sign that Olivia may be outgrowing her husband is how she often treats him like a child. While filming their scenes for Welcome To Plathville, it feels like all of Ethan's choices have to be cleared by Olivia, and no husband wants to be mothered by their wife. Olivia is also more adventurous than Ethan, and while the couple did travel to Jamaica recently, Olivia clearly wants to see more of the world, while Ethan is content to stay home and work on his cars.
For now, it looks like the Welcome to Plathville couple is trying their best to make their relationship work even though fans believe Olivia will eventually leave him. It doesn't look like couple's therapy worked out well for either of them, especially since Ethan wasn't into talking about his problems to a stranger. Both stars deserve to be happy, and they may find it apart rather than together.
