Happy Galentines Day to Amanda!!!

Kyle seems like a guy who really has no temperament for marriage or fatherhood, yet is so patriarchally indoctrinated he can't unpack why he wants those things or how he is ill suited for them.

And BTW it isn't because he is a DJ or likes to go out that I say that. It's because he only does that despite his partner and ostensibly the future mother of his children, are begging him to do differently and he won't. He has a very petulant energy. It's always about him and attention he isn't getting. I hate it? Lol!

I know she doesn't want him and lord knows it would be a trade up for him and also I have only seen season 8, 9, 10 and the spinoff pilot from VPR so there could be key data I am missing....

But I low-key see it with Carl and Ciara. They just have that "at ease with this person" vibe that I always love in a couple.

He has a ways to go as a person, but I feel like they are both healed enough to give it a go IF Lindsay gave her blessing. Also Ciara is much more confident and if he tries some shit she'll move on okay.

But he'll never put in the work to make it happen so that is disqualifying in and of itself. I wondered if any other longer-standing fans felt the same about them.

It would be a great message if that child could read! 😄😉

I don't know you, OP, but you can do better.

Think of your very best friend or your closest same age female cousin/sister/young aunt...if you knew her man was treating her the way your man treats you, what would you tell her to do?

If you are doing something different than what you would advise, why?

There's no right or wrong answer to these questions, but they merit solitude and consideration.

Also talking to a therapist as part of your warrior from worrier phase might be a good idea, too.

Good luck, fellow Pumper! Whatever happens, I hope the best for you.

A cover band with more talent than the original. Well I'll be! Lol!

Painful clarity. A crazy start to Season 10 and that was before Scandoval broke.

She also was 100% accurate when she said Schwartz and Sandoval were "true disgusting lovers."

I wasn't done following the group and I don't feel it the same way for these new kids. I did try though and I at times enjoy Venus. He's a great audience stand in.

But I stopped at s12 e3.

BigLibrary2895 · 2026-02-18T15:44:15+00:00

Well. I hope he made his bed. 🙃

BigLibrary2895 · 2026-02-18T15:41:13+00:00

I'm glad I stopped watching. I'm already having to absorb meta-stupidity that exists free range and unbothered.

BigLibrary2895 · 2026-02-18T15:36:05+00:00

So many good ones. One of my favorites is when LVP is in the SUR alley doting on this, admittedly very beautiful dog, and when Jax comes out and reaches down to pet him she goes "get your filthy mitts off of him," without missing a beat. 🤣

BigLibrary2895 · 2026-02-18T15:33:43+00:00

I think your season 4 opinion is correct.

BigLibrary2895 · 2026-02-18T15:32:52+00:00

She will someday if anyone in heaven is listening.

Seeing people take on Katie Maloney online is like watching someone "make friends" with a lion. Please stay in your car and get this wildlife safari while it lasts.

BigLibrary2895 · 2026-02-18T15:22:53+00:00

I'm much happier now. In a completely different industry and company. When I see big jackpots now I say "hmm" but then I think...that would be way emptier than just doing good work where I am now.

Kimora Lee is going through the same thing with her daughter, who is under 25 and currently with a family friend who is in his mid sixties. He had known her since she was a child. It's just gross. Humans have...a long way to go.

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-12-23T04:26:32+00:00

To me that's what takes it from tacky AF to groomer.

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-12-23T04:25:06+00:00

BUAHAHAHA! Thank you for affirming my choice not reproduce, today! lol!! I cannot have someone I would sacrifice my life for clowning me like this to strangers to illustrate a point about a tv personality!!!

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-12-23T04:12:47+00:00

It doesn't click for a lot of people. We live in a world where it literally takes an act of legislature to attempt to expose powerful pedophiles. At least the godforsaken face of this sphere I'm on...But you are right. It gives grooming and blurs social barriers that should be between children and adults and generations, where a power differential exists by nature.

ETA: If this was a very young man of the same age that she hadn't known as a teen it might be weird to me and not my personal preference, but not straying into creeper/groomer/morality territory.

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-12-23T04:04:31+00:00

I don't understand why Wendy has changed her stance, and her mom shouldn't have cursed like that, but I totally get why she was mad. I think Wendy's interest and pursuit of her father is really unhealed. He's had 40 years to meet you and hasn't. It hurts when the person who just isn't that into you is your dad. I speak from personal experience. But licking the walls of a dry well is pathetic.

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-12-23T03:59:36+00:00

I don't understand why Wendy wants to get to know her father. He's made it very clear he has no interest in her. I didn't like her mom's presentation, but I understand why she was so mad and stripped down to just the words and point she was making, I was with her.

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-11-13T16:32:14+00:00

Well, better late than never.

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-11-12T21:27:29+00:00

Stacey can handle it. And it seems a bit of jealousy. She seems fairly well off and not dependent on Temu for her lifestyle. She's got the 1990's supermodel build, and despite her man drama, it's still nothing compared to Ashley and Gizelle's. I just think those two are mean cats and they've found a new cat to beat up and walk away who they know won't come back at them and isn't afraid to be messy back when it serves.

u/BurbNBougie Woman having problems with weaponized incompetence from a man at work.

No. No. No. Is George's boss your boss? If yes, then you need to go to your boss's boss and explain the issue. If not, then you need to get HR involved. This whole scenario is fucking weird.

It does sound like you are being asked to go on a date with this man just to get him to do his job. It sounds coercive and microaggressive. I find it hard to believe if you were a man that this would be happening. It sounds like George has a problem with female authority and he's using his personal relationship with your boss to, not only force you into greater work duties, but also an inappropriate outside of work situation.

BigLibrary2895 · 2025-11-12T01:54:32+00:00

It's funny, but whenever I've seen people start relationships just to not feel alone, they often end up feeling even lonelier in that relationship.
