“I am supporting what he wants now! WE love each other and ALWAYS WILL!” she concluded, referencing his decision to live separately for a month.
Catelynn captioned the post: “So my family would of been better off if I just took my own life? NO! Now GOODBYE and I’m done explaining myself! #loveyourself #loversandfriends #myhusband.”
OnMonday’s episode, Tyler’s father Butch asked him if he ever wondered what his life would have been like if he’d been with someone else. “Yeah!” Tyler responded.
“The thing about it is, I want Cate when we were like 20, 21, 19 when everything was like … I don’t know, dude,” he said, shoulders slumping.
“Listen…I don’t want to be with other women. Have I ever thought about it? Well, DUH! Everyone would be lying if they said they never have, especially when in a long term relationship,” Tyler tweeted.
“About her being 21/19, I meant that genuinely because that was before her mental health stuff,” Tyler continued about Catelynn, who has previously sought treatment for suicidal thoughts, postpartum depression and anxiety.
Prior to the conversation with Butch,Teen Mom OGaudiences watched as Tyler suggested to Catelynn that thetwo live separately for a monthas they attempt to improve their relationship.
“Getting pregnant was very unexpected since we still have a lot of work to do on our relationship,” Catelynn said in a voiceover at the time. “I know Tyler has been frustrated in our marriage for a while andhas been seeing a therapist.”
She continued, “He decided he wanted to try living separately for a month. I was devastated, at first, but now that I’ve started my own therapy, I’m more comfortable with the idea.”
Tyler added, “That’s why I said, ‘I want to live separately.’ I just felt like it was the best place to bring it up, I guess.”
“Am I jumping of joy? No,” Catelynn said. “At that moment it did trigger me, it did bring up wounds, it was scary, it was sad, it was hurtful. With the things that I’ve been through, people saying they want to leave … it seriously does feel like somebody died.”
