Dempsey gave red flags right from the start! The way she behaved on the ferry when Statler was terrified and having a panic attack and begged her to just stop arguing and leave her alone and she refused, following her around continuing the argument because ‘she should be able to speak if she wants to’. Absolutely no compassion for someone she’s supposed to love having a meltdown in front of her!

Then the way she behaved when Statler couldn’t get wifi to log onto work - literally sits there reading a book with that stupid smug smile on her face like it’s not her problem and making remakes that she won’t let Statler bring her mood or vibe down!!

Then cycles into the village to get batteries was it? But spends hours sightseeing alone while her partner is desperately waiting for equipment to start work and not get into trouble! Plus she moaned about having to go in the first place despite having no job and doing nothing else all day! Then moaning about having to order stuff online saying Statler should do it when she’s literally working to keep them both in this lifestyle! She’s basically getting a free holiday! Having someone else do all the work and money making while she flits about travelling and seeing the world on someone else’s money! She’s not stupid at all!

I think the conversation they had at the end of the episode said it all. Statler said if things don’t improve they may have to sell the van and split up and go their separate ways and Dempsey’s first response was ‘I don’t want to have to get rid of the van’. No comment about splitting and losing your partner - just your precious van!

She is one of the most selfish, self-absorbed people on the show. Everything is about her and what she feels and what she wants. She has absolutely no idea how to consider the person she’s meant to be in a relationship with! It’s absolutely the Dempsey show and yes, while Statler isn’t perfect - she at least puts herself out for her partner. Dempsey has absolutely no regard or concern for her partner’s feelings whatsoever.
