It’s crazy how everyone was focused on Jessica being ditzy when Nick was such a creep. As a woman I’m guilty of judging her and not seeing him for what he was. I wonder was it a sign of the times. Whatever it was Nick owes Jessica an apology for being such an ass to her and so does society. I’m glad she’s been so successful compared to his mediocre success 😊
Ugh the way he mocked her during their argument. I got secondhand embarrassment for him. He sounded like a 12 year arguing with his mom. Glad she got away from his BS
He only hung up his paintings, placed his vases and furniture from his previous apartment! I don’t blame her for being unhappy, he’s basically decorated their house with his stuff where he wants it!
in her book she goes into detail about this argument haha its funny. She said when nick told her that they do the same thing, she kept saying to herself "don't say it Jessica dont say it" and then she said it. the whole "your not going half of what I'm doing baby". She knew it would get to Nick since he was so insecure with her success
Nick Lachey's career was in the toilet while her's was skyrocketing. She was the IT girl at the time. He tried to always look busy and be doing something. To tell her to "get off her ass and do something" was way out of line. He did not deserve her.
she was never the IT girl, her music career tanked and even his was more successful after the divorcem she was just lucky to lent her image to sell clothes...
@@aaronxalapa Ummmmmmmm pretty sure she’s the one that went on to build a BILLION dollar company while he went on to do reality TV🤔 And you say HE was more successful?! Ya right
@@princessangerloo5905 you’re arguing with a man about the earned success of a women you’ll never win lol to them women get everywhere by just looking good. And men have to “work hard”. When being good looking is a burden in itself aside from just being a women.
Jessica was so diplomatic and really kept her cool, even though she would have been justified if she'd let him have it. She seems so sweet-hearted...she deserved better.
Very true.. he was a stubborn asshole, Jessica wanted to be a part of the design decisions and he completely ignored that, couples need to both be a part of household decisions, he should've respected her feelings more.. happy wife...happy life
Neither of them was happy. Neither of them was right or wrong. Nick comes across as a jerk but it's obvious that Jessica plays to the camera and never says things how they really are.
@@Kim-ss5bb He is absolutely a jerk. This fight happened early in their marriage, and in the last episode of this series that was filmed more than 2 years later, his artwork and decorations are still up. He never let her make that house hers.
@@Kim-ss5bb There was no way they could have sat down and discussed it. Every time she started to say something he cut her off. He didn't want to hear what she had to say because he knew she was right.
Literally all nick did was walk around and complain. He treated jess like crap. He wanted her to be quiet, cook, clean and be sexy. I mean its borderline abusive thale way he speaks to her and tells her to shut up all the time. Wonder if he speaks to vanessa that way?
@@stephanieweinberg9633 - Abuse is not just physical. Emotional and verbal is awful - a person is broken down and then gaslit, which is exactly what Nick did to Jessica. I hope you never experience this.
@@Kim-ss5bb She's not a brat, and you can't spoil someone with their own money. She is successful and wealthy and wanted to use HER money to buy nice things. That's not spoiled. If anything, Nick was spoiled, using all her money for his dumb boys trips, arcade games, etc. He was also clearly the brat.
Omg this guy was actually horrible to her, understand she was quite young but honestly this is like very hard to watch as myself being through this , can recognise an abusive narcissist from miles away.
@@GraceLove33 I just read the book for the 3rd time. She absolutely was NOT sure if production told him to pick her up or not. She thinks they did. But she even said she wasn’t sure. It’s in Chapter 9 FYI
I can see why this marriage ended. she had to compromise her own thoughts and feelings about why she was upset in order to end an argument. marriage is not easy...but you shouldn't have to feel the need to brush off what you're upset about and make it about something else (thats clearly not the issue) in order to make your spouse happy. could she have been a little more appreciative? absolutely, but at the same time you shouldn't take it so personal and make your spouse feel like a piece of shit for not liking something either. this could've been handled in a much healthier way than how they both went about it.
I have to admit that the arguement was pretty funny and Jess was so sweet through it all. I have watched other episodes of The Newlyweds and Nick seemed so moody towards Jess at times.
I mean she was like a child. She was privileged and thought because she married him she shouldn’t have to do anything…. Thank god he didn’t have kids with her and I’m almost certain her immatureness is what got her divorced. 💯🤷🏽♀️
@@doesthetruthreallyhurt1073it says you wrote this nonsense 7 months ago- 2023!! She was 22 years old here. She was on the road since she was 16. Please know what you’re judging what she should have been doing 20 years ago😂
I also wonder throughout the marriage if Nick had constant mood swings, because I have watched other videos of this show and sometimes Nick just goes off on Jess for no reason. That's enough to get on any body's nerves. I wonder was that the reason she wanted to divorce him. He didn't seem all that nice to her.
Maybe she got tired of seeing texts and calls from different women and listening to his lies and excuses about them. She should have left him a lot sooner.
How would you feel if you constantly did things for your spouse and hardly if at all got a thank you or any ounce of appreciation for doing it? Because that’s how Jessica was with Nick, because she grew up spoiled she just expects things to be done for her without saying thank you. Or even when she doesn’t expect something to be done for her rarely did she ever say thank you, no wonder he was so frustrated with her all the time. And he’s a little brutally honest, who isn’t sometimes? Especially now a days.
When I think back to how much of a huge following this show had I am very disappointed to she how many times he used variations of the word bitch in reference to his wife... that is so demeaning and disrespectful and completely uncalled for... i am disgusted by nick
She acted like a child who needed a parent to raise her. Throwing dirty clothes on the floor, buying stuff without checking the price, She acted like she rode the short bus
I wouldn’t be comfortable knowing that cameras are there and that I slept with him for the first time. Clearly she wasn’t sleeping with him so much, she caught onto his act early on.
He treated her like a child instead of his wife and I knew back then they would not last! I have always liked her and her sister Ashley! Strong women! 👑
4:40 you can see her face turn to absolute disgust and contempt when he started mocking her. You can tell this was not the first time this happened and she is just closing her eyes thinking, how could I have married this man? Awful.
It is the biggest red flag to me about MYSELF that watching this when it aired I thought this was all normal and didn’t realize his behavior is so horrible toward her.
He is totally belittling her she has a lot of patience to not argue back.. shes actually putting up with a lot from what comes out of his mouth.. look at the way he’s talking to his wife!
It does not surprise me that they didn't work. He was so jealous of her success. Treated her bad. Talked to her like shit. Got mad at her for spending HER HARD EARNED MONEY. I would be gone. Seee yaaaaa ✌️
@@IGetKills I get it man but it's not that serious to treat someone like that tho. Come on, he does take it so personally. She's not being a monster or anything. I just never understood this.
@@IGetKills I see where ur coming from, i guess i just didnt think that's wat she was doing. I understood where she was coming from. Idk. Thanks for your comment.
Nick was in the wrong in this argument. He didn't understand that she wanted to be apart of the decoration and yet still did it without her. I can understand why. she was upset. Nick was in the wrong
Nick was soo wrong here. Like if your gonna decorate the house it helps to have your Spouse's input because he/she lives there too. Instead he gets on her case and make it seem like shes ungrateful (gaslighting 101) because she doesnt like something when if you had just asked her that wouldnt happen to begin with
I remember seeing I love Lucy shows and they were not always working together but at least they didn't argue a lot in front of the camera - as well her father was the one who produced the show - it is surprising how silly in his behaviour he was towards her as she was his daughter.
I use to watch this and thought they had a fairy tale relationship when it was first aired and now watching it years later Their relationship was pretty messed up. And Nick is a jerk
Me too. We were young and naive like Jess. Nick was an ass at times. Likely bruised ego b/c she had more going than him. Took it out on her/ passive aggressive style. Gaslight and bullied.
Jessica's father was the executive producer of the show. Nick's career was in a transition. Jessica had no concept of money. Nick liked to live within their means. Jessica liked to spend. Let's. not forget t his was also a different t time..
He was such an ass to her, the narcissism is unreal. He could have taught her what he expected her to already know, but he belittled her and made her feel terrible instead
I feel like, I’m watching my relationship with my ex. So, basically anything that doesn’t she like or want is considered bitching. He made her feel stupid and inadequate. He treated her like a sex toy. I feel so bad for her, even now.
True that Jessica was likely spoiled , but not “a brat” (the point she was trying to make). Jessica was working harder outside the home & was bringing in a ton more money. By definition, she won’t be at home as much & will have to find other ways to get home tasks completed- it’s NOT rocket science. Nick needed a traditional “housewife” & someone to mother him…in my view, HE was the brat in that relationship.
I mean... This argument should have stopped their marriage that second. They really don't like each other. They should have just had sex before marriage and then they could have carried on happier in their separate lives.
If thats true. Why would he text her. She's the one that divorced him. Clearly she was unhappy and couldn't take it anymore. People get a divorce for a reason.
