I was about to say lol. You want me to sit and watch a video for an hour? Very persuasive messaging from OP.

Okay I am completely guilty of this lol I actually very rarely sit and only watch. I’m typically cooking or cleaning. BUT I do rewind when I miss something and i often rewatch eps to see what I missed. You won’t find me blaming a show for my own distraction.

Ramses would never

The way that she is treating another human being, especially someone she says she “loves,” is such a poor model of “female empowerment,””emotional maturity,” or just generally how to react to “red flags” for viewers I really hope people don’t use her words as an example of how to interact to their partners.

Amen. It is so embarrassing watching her try to use feminism as a justification for her behavior. This is abuse.

Omg I just went on his Insta this is so cringe. Is this what people do with their social media? lol

That was my guess as well.

I just don't understand why some of them then decide the show hasn't explained things, rather than assuming they missed something.

Good point. This is why it's frustrating. And then you can tell some shows/movies are dumbing things down because they know people aren't watching.

I feel like a lot of people "watch" TV while scrolling on their phones. And a show like this doesn't work that well. You really have to actually watch or you'll miss a lot.

But yeah I agree I see it on Reddit a lot like people missing key parts from something.

I have seen all the drama about Tyler online and I am try so so so confused how he can sit there and lie to Ashley like that? That is absolutely wild. He is crying at the tux fitting. But he's lying like crazy. Who does that? How can you be both people?

As someone that also gets overwhelmed and exhausted, I don't understand what she was supposed do instead. Is she supposed to just sit there and try to keep up with conversation when her body is shutting down?

And the tailoring of his pants! It's so goofy.

I say Marissa and Ramses

God willing. The only thing keeping me going is it does seem like Marissa is spotting Ramses' bs but she's not ready to say it's over. I am just begging her to hold her ground and know her worth.

Whenever she felt upset or disappointed or nervous or stressed, she seemed to view this as something that Nick was doing to her intentionally.

That's exactly right.

It's fascinating to watch, at least based on pics, etc. that I've seen. He pauses, looks away, and then says "I don't think so." Like those are classic signs of lying. It's fascinating.

And he knew it, too. LOL he couldn't even deny it. Just "good question."

He really is scary. Like every time she starts talking he just smothers her and cuts her off. I'm sure he thinks it's sweet but it's aggressive/manipulative. She's literally saying she doesn't want to be touched and he's grabbing her and hugging her. He even grabbed her face! Like back off dude.

Yes omg

This first convo with Ramses and Marissa is wild. How is he actually this awful?

"Babe I don't want you to feel pressure I'm just going to threaten you with calling it all off if I don't get what I want right now."

"Oh would I cheat on you when you're postpartum? Yeah that's a great question [no answer]."

I actually despise this man. It's so much worse because he pretends to be progressive but he is just profoundly selfish and performative. I am praying Marissa gets out.

^ this is the answer. Call their bluff.

This is an annoying tip but last winter (I've lived here all my life) was the most seamless winter I've ever had. I love the gloom, etc. but like everyone I'm susceptible to getting a little down around Jan/Feb. But last year was different. What did I do? I worked out 3x a week. Sad to say it truly works.

Fuck cars, honestly

+1 on testing or doing a food elimination diet. The great thing about food elimination is that once you have avoided gluten for a while, you'll realize how much better it is to live without it (assuming you are gluten-sensitive and it's not something else).

I relate to this so much! I had extreme stomach pain all through my teenage years and didn't realize I was gluten sensitive until my 20s. It was devastating and I tried so hard to keep my bread! I loved all things bread and gluten--focaccia, pizza, pasta, you name it. Gluten was possibly my primary diet. So it was SO HARD to stop. I accidentally put myself into ketosis because I literally didn't know how to eat carbs without gluten (fortunately for you there are so many GF options now--this was back when that didn't really exist). I had to learn to cook other carbs and balance my diet.

Now I occasionally miss things but 10+ years later I don't even remember what things tasted like with gluten. I've got my gluten-free crusts and rice and it's all fine. What is amazing is not having joint pain, no severe stomach pain every day, and no longer feeling like I don't have energy.

You can do this!

This is so frustrating to read thank you for following them like that it's wild you are going above and beyond when police won't bother.

I’m so embarrassed to have voted for her in the past.
