On the bright side, Brett’s vulnerability aroused sincere emotions in his wife, but such moments were few and short-lived. She felt utterly confused after witnessing his flirtatious behavior and layered personality. Since the beginning, the couple seemed to have too many problems to be resolved peacefully.
Olivia often voiced her struggle in getting to know her husband’s authentic side and constantly complained about him acting like a completely different person off-camera. Unsure about the honesty behind his words, his sarcastic behavior made it difficult for her to vocalize her feelings. Despite the infatuation, she even confessed to not feeling any real connection with him. To make matters worse, Brett felt completely at ease when surrounded by his feline companions at the comfort of his house, but his wife expected them to plan trips and go on adventures together. Did the two regard these disagreements as a bump in the road or ultimately decide to call it quits?
