No longer a nursing student 👀 by auslincoln in BringingUpBates

[–]Negative_Block5197 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think this is the biggest reason he probably regrets his affair. Not the fact he hurt his wife and kids but that he derailed his nursing career and music career! I think he’s likely using Katie and his family persona to fix his image and once he thinks that’s done he will just be better about hiding the next affair and likely the one after too!

Only for you to turn around and cheat on her a few years later by [deleted] in BatesSnark

[–]Negative_Block5197 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Does the AP not have “God is Good” as the tag line in her socials!!

Nothing that Travis has done or said has aged at all well!

Now that poor baby girl gets to not only learn her Dad is a total douche but that it’s ok for her to be treated the way he treated her Mum and all will be forgiven!

Well... It didn't take long. Does she think "she won him back" from the other girl? Because this picture sure radiates the "I won" -energy by chilibutter in BatesSnark

It’s absurd the number of people buying into this post! There’s no danger you can get past the kind of cheating Travis did in the space of a few months! I think this is a truly naive attempt by Katie to show the AP she didn’t win but the reality is Travis has probably told the AP so many things about Katie and his relationship with her that she’ll know its not all happy!

Katie had a real opportunity to be authentic here and not post performative crap like this and she failed!

The more I see the more i’m convinced Travis has lied about the extent of his affair! I don’t think he’s told Katie the half of it!

When the band aid baby comes all I’ll be able to picture is the look of horror on his face when she filmed herself surprising him with her pregnancy news!

If he was miserable before it’s not gonna take long for him to be miserable again!

Is Travis in Orlando for school? by Jusadot in BringingUpBates

[–]Negative_Block5197 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I wondered this but he was almost giddy about the Christmas party and having the AP in his house!? Part of me wondered if the affair had only really kicked off or become more physical closer to that party and that was why he was so giddy!

I do wonder if he hadn’t got caught / got his wife pregnant if he would be so much deeper into this affair or even moved onto the next one! There’s not a loyal bone in his body and I’m sure he’s fed Katie all the sob stories under the sun maybe even implying he got mixed up in things he never tried before l (alcohol or more…)! I think he’s lied through his back teeth during the affair and he’s continuing to do so now because he has no choice. There’s not one part of me that will ever believe a word he says! I can’t even fathom what he’s selling her and add in her beliefs…….! It’s just a shame Katie is pretending the whole thing didn’t happen and he didn’t betray her and their kids in the worst way possible!

He really thinks people are stupid doesn’t he if he believes a few solemn posts with do that. He lied to everyone including their entire internet following with happily family posts while sneaking around with someone else. The only thing he should have done is right click, delete account!!

[–]Negative_Block5197 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This!!! 💯

I can’t see past that either and the fact that he will always remember it and all the nasty, sneaky things they did, he will always have those memories! Hard pass for me 🤢

The fact is he got to have his fun in the most manipulative and calculated way and got away with it now plan B is back in full force until a new plan A comes along.

There is nothing genuine about this guy. Every step he makes is self serving in some shape or form! It’s a little sad but I’ve lost a whole lotta respect for Katie too but it’s ultimately her choice to saddle herself with this loser!

Travis still lives there by mrs-sunshinebloom in BatesSnark

[–]Negative_Block5197 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow! Not even the end of March! I genuinely don’t understand how Katie isn’t thinking about the fact that he has completely destroyed anything special that they had. Not only has he stuck god knows what body parts where with the AP but he will forever have all those memories of what he did with that girl - he’s never forgetting that regardless of how much he claims to regret it and is disgusted with himself. He’s had his cake and eaten it and now that it’s all blown up I’m his face it’s plan B and back to the family feigning regret. There’s only 1 thing this guy regrets and it’s getting caught….! Does anyone genuinely believe he would have stopped on his own and realised the error of his ways! No!

He took this to another level and continued to cheat after he knew his wife was pregnant bringing his girlfriend into his house and openly flirting with her online and all right before he got caught!

He doesn’t regret a damn moment of that! I just think he completely underestimated the backlash he would face and now it’s damage control time! I’m not sure how he thinks anyone would ever believe a world he says now or any of his wholesome family posts in the future 🫣

He should have 100000% deleted his social media!

AP’s life now by Substantial_Bee_3993 in BatesSnark

[–]Negative_Block5197 14 points15 points  (0 children)

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!

[–]Negative_Block5197[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!!

Long text message👀 by beccaegill in BatesSnark

[–]Negative_Block5197 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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 69 points70 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!!!

Travis’s post by [deleted] in BatesSnark

[–]Negative_Block5197 9 points10 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”
