After their wedding, the two made it clear that having one baby together was not enough. Soon, the welcomed another child together, Layne, who was born on Chelsea’s birthday!
From the outside, it seems that Cole and Chelsea have the perfect relationship. Compared to some of the other Teen Mom relationships, the two are great communicators, great parents, and fun to watch… so why are things suddenly taking a turn for the worse?
According to many fans, Cole has started to show his dark side in the most recent season of Teen Mom 2.
In a recent episode of the show, Chelsea suffered an anxiety attack before launching her fashion line.
In the car ride over to the launch Chelsea clearly becomes anxious. She tells Cole that she needs to listen to her meditation books, and then has him stop at the gas station so she can pee, which she explains is because she’s feeling anxious.
“Let’s get there as fast as we can,” Chelsea begs when she gets back in the car. “Because I’m going to feel better once we’re there.”
“I don’t know why this happens,” Chelsea says. “My body can’t just be like, ‘Oh, I’m excited slash nervous!’ I got f*cking issues.”
In this clip, Cole exhibits some behavior fans are not happy with.
While they make plans to stop at the gas station, Aubree asks if she can get a snack, and Chelsea tells her no. Then, when Chelsea leaves, Cole scolds her.
“Mom needs you to seriously just sit and be calm, okay?” Cole says to Aubree. “Can we just be calm, please? Are you listening to me? That means just sit back.”
Fans think that Cole was putting too much pressure on Aubree to take care of her mother.
“Cole was out of line,” wrote user cmrizzle on reddit. They added, “Aubree was trying to entertain the kids, all she asked for was a snack (normal kid behavior for her age). Chelsea was the one making the car ride stressful and instead of babying her Cole could’ve easily just told her to relax (Chelsea) …
Cole didn’t have to shame Aubree the way he did. Chelsea either needs to get it together for her family’s sake or stop getting so d*mn irritated with the kids because of HER OWN anxiety.” User LittlehouseonTHELAND agreed, “Also, Aubree shouldn’t be made to feel responsible for Chelsea’s mental health. That part where Cole was telling her to be calm so Chelsea would be calm was disturbing.”
This isn’t the only way that Cole seems to have changed. In the last episode of Teen Mom 2, after some tense exchanges with Adam Lind’s mother Donna, Cole angrily exclaimed, “I’m answering the door on Friday!” — making it clear he had every intention of telling her off!
