At the end the drama just drug out and became absurd. In the beginning they had a small run with the “twin flames” thing. At the tell all they wished each other well saying they each deserved happiness. She was just a neurotic thing, not a bit mean, just overwrought. He was controlling but I think initially he meant well. He just got full of himself and obnoxious. She had the power to opt out any time! She was on her turf much of the time not relying on him financially. She chose to keep giving the relationship chances. He was a controller more than an abuser. (I think he really thought he was helping her and is just bossy and has a cranky streak) i thought he was toxic for awhile, but decided that was way played up by TLC. I think they legit cared for each other they were just totally bad together. But their fashion looks were comic gold.
