Ethan may never be ready. Yes, he's young, but Ethan has already been through so much in his life. His mother Kim Plath is mostly a nightmare. Kim has been mean to Ethan so many times. She doesn't give him unconditional love. From Kim, he learned that he had to work very hard to get any love at all. That feeling of being unloved may have returned now that he and Olivia are over. It may trigger Ethan, even though he played a role in the split. Ethan may also feel guilty because things got so nasty onscreen. He unloaded on Olivia and so did other members of the Plath family.

Ethan Plath's Confidence and Self-Esteem

Olivia Plath Made Him Feel Bad About Himself. Ethan may feel less confident because his marriage failed. He got a lot of criticism before that happened. Olivia was always reminding him that he wasn't adventurous enough or communicative enough. She hated the way Ethan was so into cars. After being picked apart for years by his own mother, Olivia's comments must have really stung. It probably felt like history was repeating itself. Now, he's trying to rebuild but his self-esteem's probably shaky. It might actually be in tatters. Also, whomever he dates is going to be under a microscope. Olivia knew she'd be dealing with that because she signed up to be a reality star. A new love interest will know that Ethan's famous, but she might not really understand what she's getting into. If he dated and a woman couldn't handle the pressure of dating a celebrity, she might bail out. There are plenty of reasons why Ethan might feel some trepidation about dating again. A lot of things may be negatively impacting his confidence.
