Ep 18. Tate vs. Steward

Tate vs. Steward is the 18th episode of the 21st season of the popular reality show, Divorce Court. With Judge Lynn Toler presiding over the court, the episode follows the lives of a couple who's marriage is on the rocks.

Tate and Steward have been together for the last 11 years and share a child together. They have come to court in order to resolve their differences and potentially end their marriage. Tate is a 35-year-old stay-at-home mom. She spends most of her time taking care of their child while Steward is a 40-year-old construction worker who works long hours.

Right off the bat, Tate claims that the couple's relationship is filled with constant arguments and disagreements. She attributes most of the arguments to Steward's lack of financial support to the family, as she's forced to take care of most of the necessities for their child. Tate also confesses that she's lost interest in being with Steward as he's become increasingly distant over the years and rarely spends time with her anymore.

Steward, in turn, blames Tate for most of their relationship problems. He believes that she's constantly nagging and complaining about the little things and that she's never satisfied with what he does for the family. Steward feels unappreciated and under-valued, and sees no reason to make amends if Tate can't recognize his contributions.

As the episode goes on, Judge Lynn Toler tries to look at the couple's situation from both perspectives. She listens to their issues and asks relevant questions while also urging them to take responsibility for their actions. She provides them with sound advice on how to come to an amicable solution to their problems, be it repairing their relationship or dissolving their marriage if needed.

In the end, it's up to the couple to decide if they want to work things out and give their relationship another chance or not. Whatever their decision, the episode serves as a reminder of the complexities of relationships and the importance of effective communication to avoid misunderstandings that can ultimately lead to divorce.

Overall, Tate vs. Steward is an episode that's full of emotions, heartbreak, and drama, which makes for an interesting watch. It's a good reminder that relationships take hard work, and that sometimes, it might be better for everyone involved to just move on.
