While Statler panicked, Dempsey went to town to find a new adaptor. However, she admitted she didn’t feel rushed to get back to the van. Instead, Dempsey took in the sights of Chamonix, claiming she would go sightseeing “whether Statler’s working or not.” Dempsey’s carefree attitude while exploring the town was mind-boggling, considering Statler was waiting for her to return with the equipment.
Once Dempsey returned, she suggested she and Statler go sightseeing together the following day. Statler reminded Dempsey she had to work. Dempsey seemed completely ignorant of the fact that relying on Statler’s income meant Statler would have to report to work and prove her reliability. Statler commented that she was “not being supported at all” while Dempsey was “off in fairyland where things are amazing all the time and life is wonderful.”

Her Behavior Proves She Doesn’t Care About Statler
Despite being aware of Statler’s insecurities and anxiety, Dempsey frequently criticized Statler for having a negative attitude. She wanted a partner who would be carefree, which Statler wasn’t capable of. This suggests Dempsey wasn’t considerate of Statler’s needs when planning their travels or she simply planned to ignore them.
The reality of Statler’s work schedule drove the wedge between Statler and Dempsey even further. Statler told Dempsey she would have to work for the next 30 days to make up for her time off. Dempsey then complained about not having a partner who could enjoy traveling with her. It never occurred to Dempsey to find a way to experience the sights together.
Dempsey never considered Statler’s role in the equation at all. She was only thinking about herself and looking to fund her dream of van life.
