In a recent episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Amber Portwood expressed her desire to be the best possible partner for her boyfriend Gary Wayt. The couple had started going to couples therapy, which was a new experience for Amber as she admitted to not being good at relationships, especially ones that are good like theirs. Before agreeing to film a therapy session with Gary, Amber shared that he had witnessed her having a manic episode, as she has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. Gary expressed his reaction to Amber’s mental health struggles, stating that he goes into protector mode and doesn’t want her to deal with it alone.
During the therapy session, Gary and Amber shared a kiss, with Gary expressing his commitment to the relationship and their love for each other. However, much has changed in their relationship in recent weeks, as it was reported earlier this month that they had ended their romance. The breakup occurred after an emotional conversation on June 9, during which Gary left in a car without his cell phone and was reported missing. He was later located safely after traveling to North Carolina with Amber for her brother’s wedding. Despite the breakup, Amber has communicated with Gary in private and is willing to accept that he is not the right guy for her.
Following the closure of the missing persons case by police officials, there has been some closure for Amber, although the breakup has been a very difficult time for her. Sources close to Amber have stated that she is a strong person and will be okay, despite the challenges she is facing. Ultimately, Amber wants to be with someone who fully accepts her, and it seems that Gary may not have been the right fit for her. Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on MTV on Thursday nights at 8 p.m.ET, where viewers can follow the latest developments in Amber’s life and relationships.
