‘Welcome to Plathville’: Is Micah Plath Really in Love?
When outsiders enter the Plath family of Welcome to Plathville, they must be tough enough to survive its members’ intertangled and complicated relationships. From what’s been shown on the TLC series thus far, Micah Plath appears very happy with his girlfriend, real estate agent Veronica Peters. But is he in love with her?
Are Micah Plath and Veronica Peters in love?
The hot-button question surrounding Welcome to Plathville‘s Micah Plath and Veronica Peters is, are they in love? Sure, opposites attract, but their on-camera interactions appear awkward.
For example, TLC’s producers asked the couple if they were in love. Instead of answering, Micah turned to Veronica and asked her first, “Are we in love?”
She responded, “I’m waiting for him to say it first. I’m going to give you some humility today.”
Micah’s response appeared questionable. “I think we’re in real love,” he explained away. “It’s not all bliss, but we love each other.”
Veronica told producers, “I think that’s a good answer and a safe answer.” Micah added, “It’s not all happy and roses, but it is a lot of the time.” Veronica summarized, “It’s a genuine love.”
However, fans need more convincing. They view Micah’s body language in the video to reveal a different story.
Fans reacted to the first real interactions between Micah and Veronica
Welcome to Plathville fans found the couple’s interactions very awkward. It was as if Micah was trying to win Veronica’s approval.
“Their relationship gives off really odd energy. There’s something off. Almost like they’re together because they *have* to be? Why move in with someone you haven’t even said ‘I love you’ to?” asked one fan.
“There’s something about her that doesn’t sit well with me,” shared a second viewer.
A third fan penned, “So many awkward silent moments. That’s weird.”
“I think she’s going to be more trouble than his brother’s wife. He already looks frustrated, and sometimes that’s not a good thing,” noted a fourth fan regarding Micah’s body language during the couple’s interaction.
Micah Plath found a woman like his mom
Micah Plath’s mom, Kim Plath, kept her family in line. She was the decision maker and the primary parent in the home while her then-husband Barry worked.
Fans have many reasons to have issues with Kim’s parenting style, but one is that she is headstrong. She didn’t take no for an answer and ensured her voice was heard above all others.
Therefore, it’s funny how Micah appears to find a woman just like his mom in Veronica Peters. He left behind a semi-successful modeling career and life in California to move to Florida, into her home, where he tends to their dogs and handles the chore list while she works.
Veronica is a successful real estate agent in the Florida area. She deals with multi-million dollar properties in Boca Raton and West Palm Beach and has built a client base with her no-nonsense style.
She appears to have a strong will, just like Kim. Therefore, Micah appears to have fallen back into the controlling relationship he escaped from in Cairo, Georgia, with his new girlfriend in the Sunshine State.
Will their relationship last? As the newest season of Welcome to Plathville unfolds, viewers will learn more about the couple and if they have a chance at true happiness.
Welcome to Plathville airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
