Aaron did a segment today where he provided much more detail on his final days with April.
- While Aaron and April are at Nick's house, April disappears one night driving back to their house. She collects all her clothing and then returns to Nick's house. She has moved in to stay.
- A few days later April texts Aaron suggesting that there is a way they can work things out. Working things out explicitly involves Aaron selling his house and buying Nick's second house where they would live. Her moving out seems to have been an explicit ultimatum for him to move to Spicer & buy Nick's house....or else.
- The new admission is that her ultimatum got Aaron to try living there for "less than a week". At which he claims he had enough and left.
- If Aaron is to be believed, the big pressure around the end of the relationship was all around April trying to get him to buy the house from Nick. While he seems to have been fine playing around up there, he wasn't interested in buying the house or moving his kids next to Nick.
- April apparently also suggests eventually that if he just buys Nick's other house that they can work it all out. Romantically or not they can still be together.
Its an interesting narrative. One thing I wonder about is if Nick's finances by that point required selling that house. That he needed the money from Aaron buying the house to shore up his own money situation. I wonder about this because if Nick was as rich as he pretends to be, he could have let them stay in that house as much as they wanted without a purchase. The only reason I can see for everyone in the polycule pushing so hard for Aaron to buy the house was a need for the money from it. Its would also be right in line with junkie thinking to sell something like a house to get more cash at a point where cash isn't coming in like it used to.
Moving toward divorce over her trying to pressure Aaron into buying that house is totally in line with Aaron's character. He would care way more about something like that anything related to sex or drugs or whatever at Nick's house. I also think he was legit concerned about his wife moving on him over custody issues if he had moved next to Nick's trap house.
