In an intriguing twist in Southern Charm season 10, Craig Conover’s closest friends, Austen Kroll and Shep Rose, revealed that they had repeatedly "begged" him to break up with Paige DeSorbo, whom they considered a "toxic" influence. Although these friends cared deeply for Craig and were concerned that the relationship wasn’t bringing him lasting happiness, Craig decided not to follow their advice. He refused to break the rules of friendship and held firm to his stance on maintaining his relationship with Paige.

Craig and Paige began their relationship on Winter House and quickly caught the audience's attention with their sweet and romantic moments. However, things were not always smooth sailing. Their relationship faced numerous challenges, with both dealing with personal, professional, and friendship-related struggles. Paige, with her strong personality and growing career, had her own views on love, while Craig often felt that this relationship was hindering his personal goals.

Austen Kroll and Shep Rose, Craig’s best friends, frequently expressed concern about his relationship with Paige. In their eyes, the relationship was unstable and could have negative consequences in Craig’s life. They believed Paige wasn’t the right person for a long-term commitment and "begged" Craig to walk away from the relationship. However, Craig refused their advice, feeling that his friends’ interference was unjustified. He chose to resolve the issue on his own.

Despite being convinced that the relationship with Paige might be "toxic," Craig decided not to let his friendships influence his romantic choices. He strongly defended his love for Paige, seeing it as a personal decision, and didn’t want to break the long-standing friendship with Austen and Shep. Craig believed that their friendship could survive without interfering with his personal decisions.

Despite their efforts and concerns, the relationship between Craig and Paige ultimately ended. Both realized that their differences in perspectives and expectations made it impossible to continue. The breakup, though filled with regret, was seen as a necessary step for each of them to move forward and pursue personal happiness.

Craig and Paige’s story clearly illustrates the complexities of both romantic relationships and friendships. While friends always want the best for their loved ones, excessive interference in romantic matters can lead to tension and unwanted conflict. What matters most is respecting the personal decisions of friends, even when those decisions don’t align with what we might want for them. Friendship and love should be based on respect, understanding, and freedom in personal choices.
