Watched it for the first time last night. Seems, to me, she likes playing the victim and starring in her own personal Pity Party. He is no prize, but she knew what she was doing when they got together when they were both married to others.

I am not being facetious when I post this, but she needs some sort of 12-Step Program to help her in her addiction to reality shows, and for always having to be the center of attention. Perhaps pulling away for all this reality show mess, though hard on her income, might be just what she needs.

Last week's episode and last night's showed his former (won't let me say "ex" ??) wife. She comes across as strong, very mature and probably that's why she was able to control Dean for 13 years! He describes their relationship as "emasculating" but I think it worked for as long as it did because she most likely treated him as another child. Tori can't do that because she has too many issues of her own. The ex-wife suggested that his problem is less about "addictions" and more about his wanting and needing attention. Tori wasn't convinced this was true but several of her friends and her therapist asked her why she would believe anything that Dean told her after all his lies. The ex also showed her a very passionate love letter that Dean wrote to her just a few months before he left her for Tori. When Tori asked him about it he got very upset and kept saying "Don't read it out loud!". He also demanded that the ex-wife not be on the show again and he himself is reportedly dropping out of the show. He obviously can't take the truth.

Also in last night's episode they visited a spiritual "guru" and that's when Dean fell apart and was sobbing and saying "I feel so vulnerable". He has a habit of sobbing and "falling apart" whenever he thinks he's in trouble with Tori. Very juvenile.

The best thing Tori could do is to get away from him but with 4 kids that will be difficult.

BCB....though I didn't see last night's episode (will look for it) I don't see how their marriage can survive or take too much more. The self flagellation gets harder to watch.

Can he just drop out of the show if he signed a contract? I think they are both train wrecks in different forms. Last night, she was wiping his eyes and nose as though he was one of her children. I was waiting for her to say "blow, blow".....{#emotions_dlg.ohmy}
