T.J Holmes and Amy Robach recently opened up about some of the problems that occur in their relationship.
During a recent episode of their podcast Holmes revealed how their weekly arguments can cause him to “check out” for two days and stop communicating. “I am really, really bad about this. I don’t scream, I don’t yell, I don’t do anything. I don’t name-call, I don’t get aggressive. Nothing, but I will check out,” Holmes, 46, explained. “I don’t need you to say ‘I’m sorry.’ I don’t need you to help me. I have to work through it, and I’m trying to get better at doing it quicker.”
Even though Robach does give out an apology to Holmes he did admit he doesn’t like how long it takes her to do so. “It drives me crazy. Why? Because ‘I’m sorry’ comes 24 hours late,” he continued. “It’s how you react in the moment that makes all the difference in the world because, in that moment, we have a chance to go this way or this way. And if you go that way, I’m out. I’m done. … I’m checked out for the day.”
Robach then explained how even though Holmes is working on getting better she doesn’t like how he just checks out for two days. “It’s two days, at least,” she said. “I would rather have him yell at me than freeze me out for two days. … I’m like, I don’t know what to say, what to do, what he thinks.”
Last week, the couple made headlines after talking to their fans about the idea of marriage even though they both recently split with their previous partners.
“It’s under consideration,” said Robach, 50. “We did not enter this relationship for fun or for ‘Let’s see what happens.’ We entered this relationship because we intended on spending our lives together. So whether or not we have some sort of legal, you know, I don’t know, button on it.” Even though they are considering it the couple isn’t in rush to walk down the aisle.
“We both have two marriages under our belts, and so it’s not something we’re racing to or rushing towards,” she explained. “But there is something, I get it, it’s this thing that I can’t even explain why there’s this desire, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I can say that. It’s on the table. It’s on the table.”
