As we’ve been saying for quite awhile here at THG, Dean McDermott doesn’t cheat because he’s a drunk or a sex addict or Tori Spelling sucks at sex . He’s a cheater because he’s a cheater who goes through the motions when it comes to marriage, a longtime friend of his says in a new interview. With Tori Spelling hospitalized for a nervous breakdown , it’s no surprise that part of her is still struggling to understand why her husband strayed. Well, according to his friend, it’s not that complicated. He “went through the motions of being married,” and has “obvious issues” that go a long way back. “Dean and I go back many years,” Toronto native Dan Kibsey says. “We were neighbors for 10 years … [teens] until we were ready to move out of home.” McDermott’s emotional problems began at a young age. “His mom was quite ill for many years,” Kibsey said. “She had diabetes and some other issues.” “Her passing hit Dean hard,” McDermott’s friend went on. “I think it would hit any family member hard! He was still pretty young … 16, 17. That’s tough.” Dean married Mary Jo Eustace in 1993, but his childhood friend says he saw how the future reality star was still carrying a lot of emotional baggage. 17 Celebrity Wives Who Were Mistresses First 1.
