Viewers of Little People, Big World can’t help but feel that Matt Roloff treats his girlfriend Caryn Chandler like the hired help, which is not romantic.
Matt Roloff of Small people, big world He doesn’t always come across as the most loving personality, with fans thinking he treats his girlfriend Caryn Chandler like a co-worker. The couple first met while Caryn was working at Roloff Farms, managing the pumpkin patch. Now, fans are wondering if their love is really just a work relationship.
In 2016, Small people, big world viewers learned that Matt and Amy Roloff had ended their two-decade marriage. Immediately, speculation began to swirl as many people believed that Matt had cheated on the mother of his children. Amy didn’t stop the rumors and actually hinted in her book that Matt and Caryn did have an affair. Matt and Caryn have been together for a few years and have even bought a winter home in Arizona. While it may seem like they are in love, some feel the spark has died.
TLC viewers recently jumped on a Reddit thread started by Pumpkin fan to share his theories about Matt and Caryn’s relationship. Most agree that the romantic scenes between Matt and Caryn feel strained and awkward. Many fans don’t believe the pair even have a romantic connection, as Matt seems to have a pattern in how he treats his women. Like Amy, the patriarch has been seen trying to control and monitor Caryn’s every move. To many faithful Small people, big world viewers, it feels like the network is trying to create content and a story that isn’t really there.
Maybe Matt isn’t used to acting as a loving and supportive partner because he’s always been in charge of the family farm. The father of four has never taken a step back and may not have seen his current partner Caryn or his ex Amy for who they were. For years, Amy ran the family home, which often gave Matt the ability to keep his distance. The same can be said for Caryn, as most of the scenes take place while they are both working at Roloff Farms. It’s possible that Matt can only see Caryn in working mode, rather than in a more romantic way.
Currently, Small people, big world fans, are watching Matt struggle with his choice not to sell the family farm to his son, Zach Roloff. Father and son have had a massive fight over the choice, with Zach deciding to move away from Oregon. Matt may not always know how to interact with his family or take social cues, but fans hope he learns to be a better boyfriend soon.
