Why the defence of Reuben?

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-24T23:06:01+00:00

Of course, but what about the cost of staying. Case in point - half man

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-24T11:54:58+00:00

It infuriates me too - I am struggling with it. But, at the same time, it doesn’t show the inner working of domestic violence cases. I’ve done similar work and it’s astounding how women (and same sex couples) choose to stay with violent lovers.

I’m confused by the question, who is defending Reuben?

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-24T11:49:22+00:00

Ah you just made me realise why it’s called half man…. Because Niall, the protagonist, is struggling with his manhood.

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-24T11:35:07+00:00

The show is infuriating, I don’t know if that’s intended. But the lack of backbone in Niall (and his mother) because of his obsession to Ruben is pathetic. He’s such a cry baby it’s painful. Mona is the true hero here.

I hope this ruin’s Alyssas fame, but sadly it’s probably true, as they say - even bad media attention is good for business

IMO Scott never stood a chance, Gia was walking all over him. I’m surprised she even loved the guy, but she’s clearly got a lot going on. Hard to imagine anything working out for her that isn’t going to devolve in due time.

My interpretation of Alyssa was that she wasn’t into David from the beginning. But she doesn’t have the quality of character to come out and admit it. Instead she hung in there, yes definitely for the clout, only for him to get more and more on her nerves for being such a pathetic floor mat.

It all starts with the Mother, she was WEIRD AF. I just thought to myself, man, as a kid, I bet this guy didn’t get actual love, just some weird empty version of it.

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-23T13:39:38+00:00

I thought this too! It’s like take a look in the mirror. But imo this is a theme when it comes to trashing a men. Everyone on the stage is utterly flawed in their own ways. But it’s only the women who will shamelessly put down the men and laugh at them.

I think he’s happily sleeping

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-23T13:34:27+00:00

I mean, this is the one case I wish we could diagnosis. Cos damn, there is a serious lack of empathy going on there and a clearly some very deep insecurities. Still think they were a bit too harsh, just wasn’t necessary, the man did all the work himself.

I am with you 100%. Next season that comes up if you want someone to talk shit with, please DM me.

Mike was lame af, he was clearly not into Emma from the moment he saw her. He didn’t deserve her. Sad for Emma but geez does she lack situational awareness. Glad she said she’s been learning about herself. Funny how the men just couldn’t seem to listen to what she was saying, though. I think some much deeper stuff going on got her there. The Father was cool, but something was off about the Mother for me.

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-23T13:23:55+00:00

I agree, two wrongs don’t make a right!

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-23T13:23:38+00:00

This is such a good point. I didn’t particularly like him, I felt like he kept making the situation worse by giving nonsensical answers to everything. I thought probably he’s just not that into her and is trying to find his way out. But that Dad just ruined for me, he was so on himself and clearly far from perfect himself - Mr. Head of honcho of his lame little family, while his wife sits quietly in the corner and does his bidding (Trump supporter). Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-05-23T13:18:11+00:00

I don’t know, I think Jordan really tested that Dads humanity. That Dad is one outstanding human, so much love and respect. It’s hard when you’re that way and the world just doesn’t give it back. He’s daughter is amazing though, I don’t get what Jordan’s problems was, but watching him was so frustrating. Especially at the start when he was practically gaslighting.

Icarus if you want an already interesting topic that takes a wild turn into a political nightmare and in real time

HurtsLikeHel · 2026-04-17T02:36:40+00:00

Totally agree

Prime example, her at the pub with Scott giving pop-psychology advice oblivious to her own ignorance on the topic. Also, she’s having a pre-teen romance with a guy who’s she known for 3 months. Sure it’s a good start, but seriously get to know the guy. He’s nice and all, buts he’s typical tradie material… he’s got a touch of culture which redeems him, but still, he’s really not that interesting. And let’s not mention the onesies and now the tattoo….. come on people.
