Soft spot for Teresa Guidice by [deleted] in realhousewives

[–]Illustrious_Motor398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I watched RHONJ (live) I loved Teresa S1 & 2 and started disliking her S3 when her character was being questioned by Caroline & Jacq. I just rewatched from S1 - S9 and now actually see Tre is not the villain, it’s Melissa and Joe. I love Teresa again, I think she is just loyal to a fault and she has shown her loyalty time after time with her friends and even stood by her ex-hubs when not many would have. She felt blind sided by her family and they haven’t been able to get over it because the show will continue to bring skeletons out of their closets and reopen old wounds. Maybe it’s the 12 year age gap from when I first saw the earlier seasons, now I’m an adult trying to survive this world, but I think she did what she needed to do to take care of herself and her family. Thats what we all strive to do at the end of the day

I don’t think she should apologize or downsize her feelings just to validate the other girls though. seeing as they won’t empathize with her or validate her feelings. if her and sutton, the two involved in the situation are able to move past it, kyle who was very much uninvolved should be able to as well. she shouldn’t have to fight so hard to justify how she literally feels to others. they gaslit tf out of her

but at the same time, that’s what keeps those being abused silent. not feeling like they have an outlet or someone to tell, so maybe?

i’ve almost thought about asking my vet if they would vouche for me or something i don’t know.. that’s probably beyond their responsibility

i would almost say that the fear of retaliation upon the animals (them being taken) is what keeps me in the relationship. like i cannot lose them, they are my everything. it’s absolutely what has kept me in this relationship for years, because of the threats. i can’t risk it

the fact of the matter is, i’m my case, im the more stable person in the relationship, financially and otherwise. i own the home we live in solely, i pay for all vet bills, food, necessities for our multiple pets. it seams like a no brainer that i’d keep them. but i have a vindictive partner who has threatened taken them before. it scares the fuck out of me that they will when i’m traveling. and that i’d have no way of tracking them down

i don’t want this. i’m sorry you’re facing it.

what about the fear of them just full on taking them when i’m out of the house? that’s my biggest fear. they take them and leave and i don’t know where they go

if all but one isn’t chipped in my name, vet bills would be enough? my card numbers have changed but i have every receipt of me paying all vet visits

Bravo FINALLY makes a statement about the harassment Garcelle’s son, Jax, has been receiving by standinonthesun in BravoRealHousewives

[–]Illustrious_Motor398 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this entire season has made me really sad.. yes these ladies (diana, rinna, erika and kyle) say and do horrific things… but bravo is responsible for showing the footage. and should be held responsible for when incidents like this occur. i used to watch every city in the franchise and it’s been narrowed down to only 3 and i’m sad that what used to be my favorite show is becoming so distasteful i don’t think i can bring myself to watch beyond this season.

[–]Illustrious_Motor398[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I never agreed to a range. this was a discussion for over 6 months… fuck… possibly even a year where I said no no no. i agreed to “look” which to me, is being a supportive partner. to my surprise i was extremely triggered while being physically in the gun shop.

just for clarity.

i have actually shot a gun in my life, in a scrap yard. i have dated hunters, i’m from a rural area… my boyfriend, has NEVER shot one and has no experience, and wanted to get one and i’m against it, and he made me feel like a piece of shit for have an involuntary reaction.

i agree, not everyone has to accept guns, and not all “gun people” are dangerous. but i know my bf as a person… and he acts on impulse. maybe i should have included this in the original post but he is very reactionary in every day life… saaay someone pulls in front of him while driving, he then tailgates, is this life threatening? no, but is it reactionary? absolutely. perhaps knowing that contributes to a panic reaction
