Going to Couple’s Therapy

May 29, 2023 – Carl Radke made a commitment to live a sober lifestyle shortly before Summer House Season 5 premiered back in early 2021, and more recently, he celebrated two years of sobriety this past January. His now-fiancée, Lindsay Hubbard, also abstained from drinking alcohol for a period of about five months, starting at the end of 2021, because as she said on the Season 7 premiere, Carl was “struggling with his own sobriety around the holidays” and she wanted “to support him.”

That following spring, though, Lindsay made a change. As she put it, “Now I drink again, but I don’t black out. That’s as best as I can explain it.”

Fast-forward to Part 1 of the Summer House Season 7 reunion where host Andy Cohen asked Carl and Lindsay a viewer-submitted question, which read in-part, “A couple of times it really did feel like you weren’t doing what you wanted to do because you didn’t want to upset Carl. Do you ever feel like you’re walking on eggshells around him?

Responded Lindsay, “Sometimes, just because I want to be respectful in a sense where it’s like, I don’t want to drink too much rosé and get activated, and, you know, something comes up or I feel defensive, and then he’s like, ‘How can I even help you when you are indefensible?’”
