Is Tyler Trying To Stall His Teen Mom OG Separation From Catelynn?

Catelynn and Tyler had been planning a 30-day “trial separation” since they returned house from a couples therapy retreat. The only problem? The Teen Mom OG couple has however to move forward with the time apart, and Cate thinks it's because Tyler is stalling.


On this week’s finale, Cate brought Nova along on a visit to be able to see Amber, who needed some support as she went through a rough bout of postpartum depression. Catelynn assumed Tyler would have moved out of their residence and into their new residence by the time she returned to Michigan, although he didn’t; he claimed not all the construction was done on the new residence nevertheless.


“I don’t hope to prolong it also much. Perhaps the porch needs to wait up until summer so we can get this going,” Cate mentioned. “That’s pushing our separation thing, and I'd like to just do it ... So I can move in there with you guys and we can be a f*cking family member again.”


She also instructed her partner how stressed the full situation was making her, especially since she was pregnant.


“I’m also carrying a baby, and I’m putting stress on this baby," she continued. "And it’s going to put a lot of stress on Nova also. You don’t seem bothered by it or emotional about it or anything. It just comes off that you don’t care ... That this is hurting me.”


Tyler remained stoic and then got defensive, saying he felt like he's not allowed to ever take care of his own well-being.


“When you wanted to prepare a decision for yourself [to seek treatment], each person was fine. Each person was like, ‘Good job. It's excellent. Go ahead, honey,’” he mentioned. “But if I do it, it’s like the f*cking world just flips out.”


Nevertheless what do you suggest about the scenario? Is Tyler just delaying the inevitable and pushing off this “self-reflection” period? And if so, why? Meanwhile, is Catelynn justified in being irritated by Tyler’s apparent apathy? Tell us your thoughts, then tune into Part 1 of the reunion on Monday at 9/8c to find out what occurs next.
