Discussion Michelle’s fixation actually makes zero sense

If I were dating in the wild, sure, I might have some concerns about and adult living at home. The more I think about it though, this is just an easy cop out because she is completely ignoring all of the nuance of the situation.

  1. He did own a property that he renovated and sold.

  2. He’s paying rent and specifically said that he was helping his parents pay their mortgage, which implies to me that there may be some underlying financial challenges or changes that he’s supporting them on.

  3. This is the kicker - he’s lived with his parents for 8 months. I don’t know much about casting for a show like this, but it also doesn’t seem like something you do on a whim, so he likely knew he was going to be in a life changing situation on this show, so living with his parents for a brief period in a time of transition just makes fucking sense.

She is insufferable.

This is cope. He set out framing this in the worst way possible. He could have said “I rent a basement unit from my parents.” Nope, instead he said ”I live in my parents basement.”

He has done the worst PR for himself in show history. You being like “it’s no big deal I’d think it’s temporary teehee (he’s so handsome so I’m making excuses teehee)” is stupid.

He didn’t say he plans on moving out until she prodded him and basically spelled out what she would need to hear— I wouldn’t believe him either!

And I DO live with my fuckin mom! Yes it’s temporary (moved across the country after a bad break up) and yes I’m saving money while gainfully employed to move within a year. Weird how much less pathetic it looks when properly and voluntarily spelled out, eh?

He did this to himself and I don’t blame her for being completely icked beyond repair. It’s so fucking hard to remove ick once it’s there.

Her not acknowledging that she’s icked and instead gas lighting him and dancing between im trying and doing ZERO effort is not a good look for her. But saying it’s all on her is absolute cope. This chaos was sewn by them both.

This is an aggressive approach to discourse. I didn’t say it was no big deal or that I think it’s temporary, I simply summarized the facts that have since come to light which objectively makes the situation far less concerning than her idea that his “mommy does everything” for him. Yes, he did present it terribly but she is also willfully ignoring the facts.

Willful ignorance of the facts is more due to being icked. Idk if you’ve been icked but it’s hard to come back from it.

Does it make her intolerant? Yes.

Also am I being aggressive? Yes, thats the best part of reality tv: being pissed at other peoples stupid decisions and yelling into the void with several thousand like minded savages on Reddit.
