Welcome To Plathville: 8 Ways Max Went From Dream Man To Nightmare
Welcome To Plathville's Moriah Plath dated Max Kallschmidt for years, but her dream boyfriend quickly turned into a nightmare after he cheated on her.

Welcome To Plathville‘s Max Kallschmidt has been absent from the series since his breakup with Moriah Plath, but with Max publicly in a new relationship, many are wondering how things turned so sour with Moriah. Max and Moriah got together in 2020, introducing their relationship on social media and Welcome To Plathville season 2. The couple seemed sweet and in love, and though they were young both appeared to feel that their relationship was meant to be. Moriah was head over heels when it came to Max and their relationship carried on throughout Welcome To Plathville season 2 and Welcome To Plathville season 3, when things got more serious.
Max gave Moriah a promise ring during Welcome To Plathville season 3, making it clear that he was looking to make things serious between them. Moriah, who was ecstatic about the ring, accepted and felt that she and Max were on the road to marriage, happy to have found a person to spend her life with so young. Though the pair were happy for a time, things ultimately didn’t work out. Moriah found out Max was cheating on her and after he admitted it, Moriah was devastated. The pair split, but not before Max put Moriah through some drama.
Max Seemed Perfect At First (Was He Just Playing A Part?)
At the beginning of Max and Moriah’s relationship, things seemed to be perfect between the Welcome To Plathville star and her new beau. Though they were young, Max and Moriah both seemed clear that they were hopeful for their future together and Max said all the right things. He was openly committed to their relationship, speaking publicly about how much he loved Moriah and posting about her on social media. Max even got along with the Plath family, making his interest in Moriah clear to her parents and siblings. It seemed Max was the perfect boyfriend, but he may have just been playing a part.
Max Keeps Flaunting His Happiness After Moriah Plath Split

After his relationship with Moriah, Max was quick to move on. He had cheated on Moriah and while the situation had been painful, the bigger issue was that the drama dragged out far beyond its necessary timeline due to Welcome To Plathville. Though Moriah and Max split in 2021, their relationship news was still being aired on Welcome To Plathville season 3 after the fact. Max moved on to another relationship, and in order to ensure people knew he was no longer with Moriah, he flaunted his happiness on social media often after their breakup, making it clear he felt he’d found something better.
Max Befriended The Plath Family & Then Betrayed Moriah
When Max and Moriah first got together, they were quite young and Moriah had lived a very sheltered life prior to her time on Welcome To Plathville. Being close with her fundamentalist family, she’d grown up alongside her many siblings and hadn’t made many friends outside of her small family circle. Her relationship with Max was different for the Welcome to Plathville star, especially considering how close they grew and how quickly. When Max and Moriah began their relationship, he got close with the Plath family knowing it was important to Moriah, but he betrayed their trust when he cheated on her and broke her heart.
Moriah Said Max Lied About Their Breakup
Although there’s been very little proof about what happened at the end of their relationship, Moriah and Max’s breakup was difficult to navigate, as Moriah said that Max lied to her about their split. Max lied about how far he’d gone with the woman he cheated on Moriah with, and had tried to make it seem like the pair were just in a funk in their relationship, rather than completely breaking up. Max released a video detailing the breakup online without letting Moriah know he’d be doing so, making it more difficult for Moriah to deal with the conflicting stories.
Max May Have Used Moriah For Clout
While Max and Moriah’s relationship seemed genuine, it’s possible that after the pair got together, Max may have been using Moriah for her fame. Though he started dating the Welcome To Plathville star during the early seasons of the series, the show was already popular in its earliest stages. Welcome To Plathville was a wild success, which could have pushed Max into trying to date Moriah in order to get his own level of fame. If he was simply using her for her status, Max may have broken up with Moriah in the most dramatic way possible to get attention.
His Nice Guy Image May Be A Sham

Max has tried to play himself off as a nice guy in the past, but his image may be a sham. The ex Welcome To Plathville star has proven himself to be difficult through his actions, but painted himself out to be a nice guy on social media and throughout his early days on the series. Max’s actions speak far louder than his words. After cheating on Moriah and lying to her about it, splitting up with her and trying to drag her name through the mud, it’s clear Max isn’t the sweet person he claims to be.
Moriah’s Split May Have Triggered Her Depression
After her split with Max, Moriah went through an awful depression that took a huge toll on her overall mental health. While Moriah’s depression could’ve been triggered from a number of things, it was clear that it happened after the traumatic public breakup she dealt with when Max cheated on her. The split between Max and Moriah was ultimately likely the most healthy for Moriah, but the fact that it was good for her mental state doesn’t make it any easier in the moment. Moriah’s depression could’ve been triggered by the turmoil Max put her through during their rough breakup.
Moriah Hasn’t Fully Moved On
Although Moriah appears to have moved forward after her split from Max, it’s likely that she hasn’t moved on entirely yet. Though it’s been about 2 years since the couple broke up in 2021, Max and Moriah’s relationship was a huge part of Moriah’s life. Their relationship itself was tricky to move on from, and the way things ended for the couple likely didn’t make that any easier for Moriah. It’s possible that the Welcome To Plathville star has not fully moved on from her relationship with Max, though Moriah has great things to look forward to in her life as she continues to rebuild her confidence.
