Uncertain, Ethan replies, “I don’t know, some days are better than others.” Then, as he reflects on his relationship with Olivia, he says, “I don’t really know why we couldn’t have made it work out.” Sadly, Ethan wanted to save the marriage, but Olivia had firmly stated it was over.

Ethan Plath Admits How Difficult Life Was With Olivia

However, as Ethan Plath looks for words to explain how he feels about his marriage ending, he is visibly distraught. Then, he confesses, “Even just having a relationship with [the family] was so complicated when we were together, and I don’t think it should be that way when you’re with someone.” Since Kim Plath’s journey with divorce is still fresh, she offers advice she is learning dating Ken Palmer. She says, “Yeah, well, the way I look at it, the right person will enhance your life and make it better and not make it harder and more difficult.” Although he doesn’t want to admit it, Ethan responds, “Yeah, I know that’s true. I just never even loved someone like I loved her.” Likewise, even though Ethan is reentering the dating world, he discouragedly says, “And I don’t feel like I ever can again.”

Kim Plath Can Relate

Furthermore, Kim Plath made it clear she still doesn’t like Olivia Plath. She says, “You deserve someone that treats you really well.” While alluding to Olivia not treating Ethan Plath well, Kim continues, “They should treat you like you deserve to be treated.” However, Kim adds, “I want you to meet somebody that you love just as much as her, but that also treats you right.” In a confessional, Kim relates even more with her divorce from Barry Plath. She says, “It kind of breaks my heart to hear him say that he doesn’t think he ever could love anyone that much again.”

She continues, “Because I really want him to find someone that he just loves more than he can even contain. I want him bubbling over with love for somebody. I mean, I think everybody deserves that.” Then, she uses a cute saying to wish her son well, “I found my Ken. Maybe he’ll find his Barbie.”

Olivia Still Haunts His Thoughts

Although Ethan Plath wrote Olivia a letter earlier in the season to “let her go,” he isn’t able to fully release her from his mind. Previously, he explained, “I definitely think that I have more happy memories with her than bad memories, but the happy memories are just as painful as what you would consider a bad memory.” Furthermore, he recognized they went through many things together while they were married. He adds, “I definitely do feel like me and Olivia grew up together. We stepped out into the world together on our own. We gave it a good run, but not everything works.”
