I too was very upset about Kathy and Matt possibly splitting up. To the point of wondering if it wasn't just some publicity stunt since it couldn't possibly be true. I am not a reality TV fan, this is the only show like this that I have ever watched, at the start just to see more of her comedy bits, but then as a fan of both of them.
I grew to have real affection for this couple. Not in a creepy stalker way, but more like I was watching a couple who seemed like they'd be cool to hang out with. Such a pleasure to see a couple who seemed to be friends.
What a disapointment to learn of this separation. Say it aint so.
I guess men will always be men. I guess he couldn't handle her being the smarter, sharper, wittier, more talkative, more whorish one, in the couple. such is life. Lovely article. I think it made me cry. I think.
I don't have a lot to add, just that I, too, was in love with their relationship. He loved the h*ll out of her! And she is a force of nature. I mean, how often does that happen? I was just stunned when I heard the news. It's obviously none of my business, but I felt invested in them and I want to know what's going on! They felt like friends and I want to help get them back together! Please keep us posted...
I too was disheartened to hear of Kathy and Matt's breakup. But doesn't it seem that exposing your life on a reality show is just asking for trouble? As much as I loved it when Kathy said she never imagined she could love someone so much, part of me cringed that she had exposed too much of herself. Nonetheless, as a 40-ish single woman they were my model of a perfect marriage - unpretentious, adoring, funny, and best of all, childless and proud of it. I saw Kathy in concert last month and she said "divorce sucks". I feel bad for he loss and now feel that perhaps my idea of a model marriage does not exist.
