This show really just needs to end.  It keeps getting worse.  They should have just kept it in the original direction that it started with, and it might have worked out, but this back and forth stuff is just too annoying.  They both know better than to do all of that stuff to each other when they have the 3 kids living in the same house observing all of that.

These kids will need a lot of counseling at this point. Their parents never talk to each other. They make decisions a 10 year old knows how to make and now with the entire house situation. It makes it come off as two people who should never have owned a home to begin with. Once again... what the hell does Martin do for a living!

This whole episode was cringeworthy.

At least Lena’s dad showed the dog some attention.

How these people have not been hit with citations since the show began is beyond stupid. They neglect their pets. Can't give straight answers to anyone. Act like everyone should read their minds.

I'm not quite sure why I keep watching (and I usually speed through, eventually, before I delete it from the DVR), but I am glad to see that Oleg from The Americans got out of jail & got a respectable American job.

Count me guilty as charged too. Why am I watching?

The highlights- Martin shrinking that sweater. 

But then she wore it again in the not hilarious scene. 

Little one- Milo?  He looks so much like a friends son I can’t remember his name. His photo op was kind of funny. 

But that is not enough to hold a show. When you create a show called “Splitting Up Together” it’s a title you need to consider an end game. What are you doing?

Lindsay Price is a highlight for me. I think she and her husband need to be utilized more. I’m interested in them and each week am in awe how damn good she looks. 

Its almost like the main players speak in this up and down speech.  Like they’ve created these characters with speech patterns that serve nothing but to annoy and frustrate the viewer.  It’s a confusing show.

I very rarely give up on shows that I’ve started. I can count the number of times I’ve done that on one hand. But I think this is going to be deleted from the DVR. It feels like it’s just wandering aimlessly. I don’t think I laughed once during this episode. The dog was cute and that’s all I’ve got.

Did Lindsay Price get a nose job?  For some reason in this episode she looked different to me, but I honestly couldn't remember what her nose looked like before.

It appears it is the same sweater that Lena is wearing in the opening credits, which I thought was a cute little nod. I like the two main actors, so I will continue watching the show.

Emily Kapnek did a similar thing with Suburgatory where she had a couple with a lot of chemistry get together and then she, I dunno, decided that that was not what she wanted and had them break up in a terrible way and then the show was canceled. This show is heading the same direction. I really, really don't get it. She's keeping them apart to make the show last longer and it isn't going to work. So if you're going to get canceled anyways, don't ruin the characters doing it!

I don't know about a nose job, but I think she does fillers or something. Her entire face, included her forehead, is just so smooth that it doesn't look real.

Yes. Nice job by the costume department. I love so many of her tops, sweaters, and dresses. The cute pink top with the ruffle sleeves is on sale at Nordstrom Rack! (Thank you, wornontv.net)

I usually enjoy this show, but this episode was pretty bad.
