Jesus, at this point it seems like everyone’s marriage is in “crisis”. Life & Style is reporting that Tori Spelling is “stuck” in her marriage with Dean McDermott. Dean goes off and plays with motorcycles while Tori is left with the kids. That’s basically what it boils down to, really. Of course, this whole thing is based on Life & Style “obtaining” footage from the new season of Tori and Dean’s reality show. So this is all probably a promotional bit.

Tori and Dean, the once happy reality TV couple, have recently become more like arch-enemies. Footage from season five of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, obtained exclusively by Life & Style, reveals their once-cozy relationship is now filled with tears, tension and screaming matches.

“What changed with me?” Dean pleads with his wife in the footage that was filmed last year. “It’s like you got more and more unhappy and angry,” Tori cries back to her husband. “I just want the old Dean back. I really do. I miss you so much.”

By his own admission, Dean isn’t the attentive man Tori married. Lately he’s been consumed by an obsession with motorcycle racing. The actor often strands Tori with the kids while he speeds off to California’s Auto Club Speedway several days each week, for hours at a time. A major plotline in season five is that Dean is rarely home with the children.

Even Dean confesses, “I’m not present as a father and a husband.” Tori’s also grown tired of single-handedly supporting their family — which includes son Liam, 3, and daughter Stella, 1, — in addition to supporting his pricey hobby. “Dean has very little money of his own,” an insider tells Life & Style. “He doesn’t make a lot of money from his acting career. She has to work and parent and take care of the home all at once.”

“Dean’s the first to show up for photo ops,” the insider tells Life & Style. “Tori likes when production is going on because at least there are tons of people around, money’s coming in and there are things to do.”

Left alone with her thoughts, Tori mulls over what’s more important: her own happiness or that of her children. “She won’t leave Dean right now,” asserts the insider. “It would be very embarrassing for her and her family. She’s stuck.”

I’m one of those weird people who occasionally watch that reality show and think “they seem like they’re really in love.” I really do think that, too. I don’t see how they could stay together like this and show their lives on camera the way they do if they weren’t really in love. I mean, neither of them is that good of an actor. So, is there something there? Are they in trouble? I bet their marriage hit some turbulence, but I bet they’re weathering it. Just my take.
