While eventually choosing to sell, Amy struggles to pack up 30 years of memories, and Matt complains, "I'm just surprised you're not focused on that more, but you're just over here every day taking a two-day process into a six-month process," (via Cheatsheet). Reminding Matt that her world now has priorities beyond him, Amy quips, "I've got other things going on in my life," to which Matt coldly replies, "That's why we're not married anymore," noting that "We move at very different paces."
It would seem that when these little people divorced, they had big problems brewing. Combine this difference in sentimentality and manner, Amy has also alluded to Matt's past behavior being inappropriate with farm-employee-turned-girlfriend Caryn Chandler in her memoir A Little Me (via Cheatsheet). Speaking of this sudden push for speed, Amy says, "For me, a few weeks to sell a big chunk of real estate and a business that we started together, I have to push the emotion part of that out. But it's hard for me to do that."
But don't worry — it's a happy ending for all.
Amy is still interacting with the whole family including working at the farms for Pumpkin Season 2020 (via People). Perhaps with fewer shared projects and space, this former couple will find the healing they need for a future as happy co-grandparents instead.
