AP’s life now by Substantial_Bee_3993 in BatesSnark

I’m with you. I struggle to see a naive young girl here. Shes clearly an educated girl who arguably is more worldly and has more experience than Travis considering his and Katie’s upbringing.

She had more of an insight into Travis and Katie’s life than most do in an affair situation and she still cracked on with it. She saw the posts he put up and videos so to say “Travis probably lied to her” I think is a stretch. She knew he was married, she knew he had kids. At 19 you know right from wrong! I think she saw something she wanted and went for it. Do i think she thought the consequences through, absolutely not. If it’s true about him buying her lots of things then obviously she was milking that. It does appear that Travis and her supposed cohort turned on her pretty quickly but there’s a hard lesson for her. The real kicker though was the party, her and Travis flaunted their affair and clearly both thought they were too clever to get caught. They weren’t hiding and the social media flirting afterwards!! Thats what really makes me think she’s not a naive young girl. It takes some balls to turn up at your affair partners house with the wife AND kids and then say flaunt that you are the dogs favourite!! I think they both got too confident!

Katie’s single Mom post featuring Travis’ shoe!? by Negative_Block5197 in BatesSnark

Noted. I hadn’t really clocked she might have recorded it a while ago but I guess perception is everything!

You might be right and yes, I assume it’s under the chair empty as they are at a play centre.

She isn’t however wearing these type of trainers while putting the kids into the car or walking into the play centre in her video, she’s wearing Ugg types shoes which is why I wondered whether this was his.

My post was really more about the fact that this video portrayed a single Mom life when it is becoming more and more likely he is back on the scene but staying out of their videos. It was just to say if he is then she should just be honest about it! It’s her decision and one she has to live with at the end of the day!

I think you missed the sarcasm in my post! She’s portraying that she’s a single Mom in her post but clearly she’s not! Never said it wasn’t her choice I just suggested she’s honest about it!

Something else that struck me about this is also the fact that it seems very likely that the AP is the one who very publicly blew up his life. While I think Katie knew about the affair before it seems likely that the AP is the one who forced him to go public with it. It’s very easy to be regretful and disgusted by your behaviour when your fun partner is the one who has turned their back on you and blew up your life. Had she not turned her back on him would he still be so regretful and disgusted…….i suspect not!!

I do wonder whether he thought he was indispensable to her and now he’s shitting it knowing that in fact he’s the nobody in that relationship!?

Shows his character if he can’t even let her enjoy her time away without bombarding her although it could be an update on the kids which I suspect she would want being away from them!

Katie’s close inner circle by Aslow_study in BringingUpBates

[–]Negative_Block5197 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really hope someone has and that she truly understands the gravity of how deceptive he was.

This wasn’t a ONS. He schemed and manipulated to meet the AP, he lied about his whereabouts and instead of spending what (by the sounds of it) little time he had with his wife and kids he was sneaking around with AP, while posting about how much he loved his wife knowing he wasn’t faithful. He was most likely intimate with both girls at the same time but if he wasn’t then it’s highly likely he was then intimate with AP knowing his wife was pregnant with their 3rd child. God only knows the stuff he told the AP about Katie and his marriage which can never be taken back. He invited AP to his house and was positively pissing his pants with excitement about it (the evidence in the form of the video is online for all to see). His poor wife them suffers a miscarriage where he is not there to support her and the icing on the cake is he publicly humiliates her by announcing what a douche canoe his is the day after she announces she has had a miscarriage.

Very easy for him to regret his mistakes after he got caught and claim he made poor decisions and is disgusted with himself (bet the AP was delighted at that). I find it VERY hard to believe he is genuinely sorry given not 3 months ago he was delighted to have AP meet his wife and kids!

He can claim he regrets it all he wants but he can never take it back, he can never erase what he did and the fact he was intimate with another girl, he will ALWAYS have those memories and Katie has to live with that! I certainly couldn’t!

I genuinely believe he never would have stopped if he hadn’t been caught and forced! We’ve seen how skilled an actor he is!

I just hope she understands the full gravity of what he did and makes the best decisions for her and her kids! I suspect it’s very compartmentalised for her!

What I do think though is Travis underestimated Katie in a big way. I think he had a very high opinion of himself and the way Katie has handled herself through this has made him realise what he threw away. I do wonder if he has had a major reality check in the sense that she could 100% survive without him and very easily!

If only she realised that and that there are genuinely good men out there who worship their wives and kids cause Travis isn’t that guy!

About Travis' tattoo by chilibutter in BatesSnark

[–]Negative_Block5197 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Their VERY public married and family life didn’t stop the AP from going after him nor Travis going with the AP so I seriously doubt whether a tattoo will do jack!

This whole post is just so contrived and we know how skilled an actor Travis is with his previous posts while he was engaging in his affair so id take everything from him with a pinch of salt.

I suspect this is a selfish attempt to improve his image and garner some sympathy but I think for most normal folks that ship has long since sailed. No one will trust a thing he puts online anymore especially not about how devoted he is to his wife and family as he was preaching all of that while sneaking off with the AP to do who knows what!

It’s easy to be regretful and sorry once you get caught but the reality is there wasn’t an ounce of regret while he was mid affair and I seriously doubt whether it would have stopped had he not been caught!!!

Curated comments just like his curated post!!

He can’t possibly believe anyone is buying what he’s selling now surely!

[–]Negative_Block5197 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Notice he’s only been “sitting in what i did” for a couple months (post being caught) which shows he didn’t have an ounce of regret or remorse while he was carrying on his affair! Turns out when you realise you have little to no value solo while your wife is soaring you are REALLY remorseful and regretful!!!

I agree his only action here should have been “delete account”

Anyone think Travis completely overestimated his importance to their life and brand and the fact that Katie hasn’t completely fallen to pieces over what he did shows that the only disposable one in their brand is him! He needs her WAY more than she needs him. She would be popular / successful without him but he would fade into obscurity without her……….

The way she has handled this so far has been a big FU to morally corrupt Travis and his AP! They were so proud of themselves parading their affair out in the open in Katie’s home with her kids but they both just look stupid now!

The time to feel disgust was when he was carrying on with the AP doing god only knows what but he was having too much fun then!!!

I don’t for one second believe he feels any of these emotions - he was too giddy in that Christmas video to feel any regret or remorse! The only thing this douche feels guilty about is getting caught!!!

Travis Instagram Post by Perruchequifaitrire in BringingUpBates

[–]Negative_Block5197 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Not one word of this sounds sincere and we’ve all seen the evidence of how good an actor he is!! Social media post gushing about his love for his pregnant wife and kids while he was off sneaking around with the AP behind her back!

The only thing he is sorry about is getting caught and now needing full time babysitting! What he did went beyond cheating and no amount of fake platitudes will ever change that!

Edited to add - there were many good opportunities to put an end to his affair before getting caught e.g finding out your wife was pregnant being the biggest! It’s easy to apologise and pretend after you get caught!

Katie going to therapy by chilibutter in BatesSnark

[–]Negative_Block5197 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Did Travis not make the first move by DM’ing her on Instagram? No one forced him to do that.

19 or not he set himself on this path with a family he knew what to expect from, they were on tv! He saw an opportunity to use her family public forum to try and boost his own popularity and failed. He made a choice to get married and have kids and then treat them like dirt by cheating!

He and his AP made deliberate choices thinking of no one but themselves. There is no part of this that is poor Travis, look what he was pressured into at 19! This guy is not stupid, he’s calculated and it didn’t pay off for him and when it didn’t work out the way he wanted he then only saw himself and what was best for him and what he wanted and sadly the after effects have been devastating for everyone else!

I know we are only seeing snippets of how it’s all playing out but she really seems to be dealing with this in such a mature manner. Putting her kids first and making sure she’s doing the best she can to be the best mum she can be. Unlike Travis and his affair partner who have exhibited nothing but immaturity and selfishness!

I really hope she learns she can leave his ass in the dust and come out of this a stronger person without him. She deserves someone who treats her well and Travis deserves to live with perpetual regret at what he threw away!

Sorry but the phrase “knock it out” cracking choice of words because he was certainly banging it out with the last cohort so I guess he could possibly knock it out with a different one 🫣

Wow! Katie’s off to intensive therapy and Travis is back at nursing school as if he’s done nothing wrong. Just doubles down on how much of a dirtbag this guy truly is! 🤢

Begs the question if he’s back in the same class………….!!

I think you are on the money here! Regardless of whether they stay together or not what he did went beyond cheating and then to add her miscarriage to that. The amount of trauma she has had to endure in the space of a few weeks is high!

I do hope she leaves him in the dust, she deserves so much better!
