It is no secret that the tumult between Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno has not been faked. This season of The Family Chantel has been rough on the couple. Now that he has filed for divorce, every move is being closely examined. In this week’s episode, Chantel attempts to assert her power over Pedro on a night out. Yet will it blow up in her face?

Chantel And Pedro, Problems From The Start?

This is not a couple that has had it easy. When viewers first met Chantel on 90 Day Fiance, she had fallen in love with Pedro after vacationing in the Dominican Republic. To keep the flame alive, she kept visiting him until he popped the question. However, Chantel’s family was quite skeptical of him. They were worried that he was just using her for a Green Card. Nonetheless, she accepted his proposal and moved him in with her. The two got married but his family wanted a lot from him.

They expected him to send over money and lavish gifts since he was in America. It came at the detriment of Chantel and Pedro but he did not seem to care. When he would go back to the DR, he would go out and party as if he was a single man while his sister Nicole was a pot stirrer. She liked to accuse him of cheating on a regular basis and it really got out of hand. Finances also came into play when Pedro expected his wife to be the breadwinner.

He was appalled that she would not be bringing home tons of cash as an entry-level nurse. Ultimately, Pedro had to go out and find his own job and went into real estate. This season, they have tried to settle into their new home but it has been a war of the words and the writing has been on the wall. Finally, Chantel is meeting Pedro out with some friends but is it more of a protective situation, or will it end in disaster?

Pedro’s Night Out Goes Awry

In a clip posted by TLC of the latest The Family Chantel, Pedro is having an evening out. He has invited Chantel to join but she usually declines so he doubted she would show up. Pedro was very wrong when his wife appears at a pizza night at a bar with his lady friends. They are quite welcoming to her while Pedro seems awfully shocked. He does not think that she is really making an effort, even refusing to introduce her. Pedro claims she knows them but she maintains that she wants to know them better which is fair.

Furthermore, he feels she came in with an attitude and he does not appreciate it. The mood has been killed for him now. Chantel shares that these are the people he spends most of his time with. Therefore she wants to hang out with all of them but adds that she leaves work at work. Yet, they have very different jobs. Laura, Pedro’s boss, says she should come out more but Chantel shares she does not always get the invite. She notes he is very private about his home life but could definitely sense the tension.

This just reaffirms why they needed to part ways. Do you think Pedro was being too dramatic about Chantel coming to hang out with him and his work friends? Will he always find a problem? Let us know and watch The Family Chantel Mondays on TLC.
