During the “Two Ts In A Pod” episode, Tamra shared she and Eddie do not usually argue. She explained she attempts to be level-headed when speaking to the 49-year-old as she had an explosive relationship when she was married to her second husband, Simon Barney.
“I am not a mean fighter when it comes to marriage because I was with Simon. I would yell and scream, ‘I hope you die, I don’t want to be married to you, I hate you’ and my mom would say ‘don’t say those things’ and he would do the same to me,” said the RHOC star. “So we would get into a habit of that and once we got into a habit of saying things like that, there’s no returning. You can’t take those words back, those words hurt. So with Eddie and I, I will not say mean things.”
She also revealed she opened up about having marital issues with Eddie while filming the upcoming seventeenth season of RHOC.
“I actually this season, do talk about – we do talk about our marriage. And a little bump in our marriage and it’s not anything horrible, it’s something a lot of people relate to,” said the 55-year-old.

“I feel like it’s more of The OC from years ago, which is what we needed. And I came back after two years of not giving zeros f**** and it shows,” said Tamra.
She also acknowledged that former RHOC star Vicki Gunvalson did not return as a full-time cast member for season 17. Tamra suggested she would be upset if she was in Gunvalson’s position.
“If she went back, I would be totally 100 percent supportive of it and of course it’s going to sting a little,” said the mother of four.
