Hearing him talk about the people at church inviting him into the under-50 parents’ group for some support and fellowship was much more illuminating for me than reading everyone’s recaps.
It sounds to me like Nick is bringing a lot of drama into Kayla’s life with his online antics. They only go to that church because it’s important to her and she and the children have a solid social circle there. And here’s her husband — who can’t even pretend he’s there by choice — shit-talking them every time he streams.
We can take it as confirmed that whenever Nick talks about how he’s always “simped” for Kayla, even when she was a massive whale during pregnancy (“I loved that woman at 105 pounds and I still loved her at 110 pounds!”), it’s because he knows she hears all about his streams from her church friends and probably also family.
Nick thinks he’s fucking slick: All he has to do is tell people he’s a great husband and church friends will go “Oh wow, that changes everything” and tell Kayla how wrong they were about her drunk asshole husband whose life revolves around “exploring” deviant sexual behaviors online and drinking till 5AM every night while engaging with women who aren’t Kayla.
I’m pretty sure Kayla is fed up with Nick’s refusal to grow the fuck up and act like an adult instead of a rebellious high schooler who thinks drinking heavily on a daily basis and railing against the people in his family’s social circle is some kind of badass way to live. If he wants to alienate everyone, that’s one thing — but it affects his wife and children, too.
Nick doesn’t give a fuck about his family. All that matters to him is standing in defiance and doing whatever people suggest might not be the best idea. If his wife and kids lose their friends and support system, so be it.
He is such a piece of shit.
