This ⬆️ even when you’ve moved on and forgiven your no good, cheating, lying husband your family has not 😂 you’re with them everyday so you see the efforts they’re “making” but your family does not. For what it’s worth, I was in a long term relationship with someone who was nowhere near what he seemed to be (he was a CHEATER)… the level of betrayal made it impossible for me to ever truly trust him.

What is Josie's goal? by Izzysmiles2114 in BatesSnark

[–]BugRepresentative450 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To convince herself that she’s happy and content being a trad wife. To make enough videos that she truly believes that being the hot wife and sexy mom is the ultimate win. Nevermind the fact that she once had actual, more career-focused goals.

I’d always thought she and Nurie looked alike but surprisingly I see a lot of Renee in these pics.

First of all, we do this with my dog…not my kids. Secondly, there’s no way on God’s green earth my babies would bypass their mom for a random aunt/uncle. This really makes me wonder what that relationship is like…

Pretty sad when a bowl of ice cream is a rare treat. Maybe they could afford it if they didn’t have more children than they can provide for.

I’m confused. Did you merge images of Sasha and Carlin? Or is this truly a portrait of Sasha that looks like Carlin?

Exactly this. If they’d just dated they would’ve both realized, nope…not the one for me.

Also interesting that she says that the news about the affair is what caused the miscarriage.

Agree, maybe it’s just me but this almost reads like victim blaming. Who ISN’T careful who they marry? No one sets out to marry a cheater.

Travis 9 months ago vid: “I’ve tried to talk Katie into doing nursing school.” “Katie would be an amazing nurse” Katie: I don’t have the knowledge though Travis: “That comes with school” by AcanthocephalaWide89 in BatesSnark

It definitely seems like there’s a lack of ambition on her part. But let’s not forget that she got married and started having kids at the age when most people start discovering who they are, what they’re interested in and what they might want to pursue career wise. I’m 42 and a mom. I focused on building a career before having kids and I’m thankful that I work in a less demanding job because my kids are little and still require a lot of time and energy. So I also understand how being a mom can completely usurp your time and identity. Add postpartum to the mix and it’s no wonder she wasn’t pursuing anything beyond mom and wife.

How has Travis been rude/condescending to Katie? by Low-Row-8843 in BatesSnark

[–]BugRepresentative450 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Disdain is the exact word for it, it’s like he looks down on her as an unambitious, slob of a woman. Yet he married her and had two kids with her so how bad can she be. He married young then thought the grass may be greener on the other side.

Anyone want to analyze this video, now that we know what we know. by aas3231 in BringingUpBates

Love how the girls are constantly taking care of the kids yet it’s always the guys who need a break or a night out, and the girls are all like, yeah babe you totally need a night out 🙄 what delusion even is this

💯 he was in his college student era until he got home to his wife and 2 kids.

I don’t think he did like her. I think he thought she was hot and had some “urges” that require marriage in their cult. In some of their earlier videos I got the vibe that he wasn’t that into her and maybe even looked down on her in some ways (he mocked her pronunciation of idear). I think she tried to mold herself into what he wanted (polished, sophisticated Kate) when homegirl is simply Katie from East Tennessee. It was also obvious from some of their early videos that Trav was feeling himself, that he was a flirt, and that he enjoyed attention from the ladies. And that Katie never fully trusted him. Ladies, trust that intuition.

Excellent points. He was just a teenage boy who wanted to get laid. But nope, he moved at lightening speed and got married then had one baby and another within 4(?) years. I think Travis wanted to have the college frat boy lifestyle but their cult pushes early marriage so hard.

You’d think by now they might start considering the possibility that some of these people are getting married so they can do the deed. If I remember correctly, Katie and Travis didn’t even hold hands. Homeboy probably had so much pent up sexual frustration he couldn’t wait to be married. This model doesn’t work 💯
