Yeah, it’s easy to blame Lindsay, and I’m not even a big fan of her, but I think Carl wouldn’t be the same even if he were single. #SummerHouse10I think Carl being sober for longer and valuing his sobriety is what is changing him from the Carl Kyle knew.

And that you’ve publicly bashed his girlfriend while she’s supported the brand for FREE. Maybe that’s way he’s not into anymore #summerhouse542Has Kyle thought about the fact that Carl is sober selling an alcohol brand?

But unfortunately, this season, it's a lot of the work talk and a lot of the professional dynamic."Both their partners, Amanda and Lindsay, have also been extremely supportive of Carl's decision. While the former explained that he had to do what was best for his life and his sobriety journey, Lindsay told the outlet that it was important for her fiance and Kyle to maintain their friendship.
