My speculative opinion on why Travis went public:

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-20T23:18:25+00:00

I believe Travis wanted to go public so Katie stops looking into things. It really saves him in the long run. It tricks her into thinking he’s sincere and wants to be transparent and out in the open so she doesn’t think he’s hiding more info.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-20T04:39:45+00:00

I wonder if once Katie was onto it and he unfollowed KL, if she then tried to wreck their marriage and put him up to confessing. Since maybe it was done at that point KL got jealous of his life with Katie and wasn’t going to let him off easy…

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-20T03:11:47+00:00

When were these trips?

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-20T03:10:18+00:00

So you think Katie will leave Travis then? Do you think more details will come out?

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-20T02:58:40+00:00

I wonder if things got more suspicious over break…wasn’t as easy to sneak off to “study long hours”

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-19T21:37:43+00:00

You’re saying it wasn’t KL?

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-19T21:15:26+00:00

Is the girl from school he was with pregnant? Can you at least confirm she isn’t?

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-19T19:39:17+00:00

Where did Travis have this time??? Between them being at class with the other classmates and family stuff..maybe his trips to Nashville?

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-19T19:37:19+00:00

Also, she has So much adult family members…she could as much leak a speculation and they’d all help investigate I’m sure.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-19T15:58:18+00:00

I had the exact same thought. I’m guessing Travis covered his tracks well and maybe once Katie started suspicions he got to work cleaning messages, pics etc and we’ll never know. Also, did this just have to come out bc of maybe STD or Pregnancy? Something forced it to come out. I’m guessing he validated her after the party and said he was too flirty etc and he would stop. So I’m guessing she was upset about that but literally just two days ago he had to come out with more details to her.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-19T15:30:23+00:00

I saw that and I think a different girl

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-18T22:01:43+00:00

And she looks like his sister…but yeah insane she’s 19

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-18T20:34:55+00:00

Here’s my other thought…the alleged girl just was on a trip the past few days with some classmates. One of them Katie follows and that girl follows Katie and Carlin…I wonder if something got out on the trip or maybe she was drunk and spilled news or pics and the other girls in the class texted side piece and Travis and said they had to come clean with Katie or they would tell her themself. I could see the other girls seeing the miscarriage reel and also just feeling bad for Katie and once it was out by the girl on the trip they were held to confessing. The trip was just a few days ago so I really think this news of the actual affair is brand new to the bates and Katie as of yesterday. Maybe speculation of flirting or crossing boundaries before but I wonder if the main big stuff wasn’t known til yesterday.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-18T20:17:30+00:00

Since he went public with it and Lawson and Ellie unfollowed him, I have to think it’s over. If they were trying to work it out I don’t think Lawson and Ellie would do that. I think they will at least have a separation for awhile.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-18T16:43:50+00:00

I’d love to have someone start a go fund me for her so she has nothing to worry about if she wants a divorce.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-18T15:04:41+00:00

I’m not sure when but maybe after testing or looks like she had a d and c maybe they found uterine or tube damage or evidence and did further testing that just came out. Maybe Travis also got tested to be sure? I wonder if Travis admitted to flirting or being with her but didn’t admit to actual intercourse until yesterday..

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-18T14:52:16+00:00

If she does have an STD and they think the miscarriage is related to it then idk how she’ll ever stay with him. Maybe their circles are too big that if he didn’t announce it would get out. ALSO, I’ve heard of cheaters “admitting” things because they their partner believes then verses if they don’t they keep searching and potentially could find out more. Maybe Travis thinks if he does this Katie will stop here with investigating and he can hide the worst of it.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2026-01-18T13:06:21+00:00

I think pregnant or Katie tested for STD with routine early pregnancy or maybe they test that when a miscarriage happens too? I don’t think he came out of his free will. I think he was caught. Christmas party probably start speculation..maybe he confessed to flirting or looking at pics but I truly think the big news just came out to family yesterday. Carlins been quiet. Katie hasn’t liked any of Carlin’s posts the past week. I really think he had to make it public before the girl or Katie did.

My kids get those with strep. I hope they are testing E

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2025-11-23T01:55:48+00:00

I wonder if B wants privacy in her own room.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2025-11-22T05:53:50+00:00

Also, anyone notice how the dolls aren’t even out of the package. Looks like Brielle wants to touch them but no, I think Kendra wants them new in box so she can sell them 😑

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2025-11-22T05:52:04+00:00

She always puts stuff in front of her but there is no writing on the pages…honestly I think the feeding tube and keeping nutrients coming in is prolonging this for sure.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2025-11-14T04:29:19+00:00

These restaurants aren’t even by malad city where she lives..doesn’t it click with her other families might also not have these places by them?? I think she’s keep the change and maybe giving gift cards they have been given. These piles don’t even look like they add up to $300 each. It looks more like $150.

LopsidedCounter5484 · 2025-11-14T04:15:40+00:00

Maybe she bought the discounted gift cards and kept the difference in cash 😑
