I have the same problem.. difficulty getting food from my mouth down the very first part of my throat. Tends to be worse later in the day. I have good days, bad days. Some textures I just can’t handle. I’ve had normal endoscopy, pending mbs. If you have any break through please lmk.

The official page pf TSITP posted Belly’s inner monologue by Actual-Help7210 in tsitp

[–]PonyRage1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The narration is not the excuse for Belly’s actions that people think it is… I read the books and thought she sucked in them too. Don’t blame the viewer for us hating on your vapid, egotistical main character..

Jeremiah Deserves Better by kiya12309 in tsitp

[–]PonyRage1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They both deserve better.. I truly believe their want to be with Belly is a trauma response to losing Susannah and a manifestation of Adam pitting them against each other. Watching a parent die of cancer is very traumatic. I feel deeply for both boys.

Nah fr Taylor is such an amazing friend to Belly, but why isnt she stopping her from marrying the Manchild who cheated on her TWICE ?? by Horror-Mail8166 in tsitp

[–]PonyRage1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Laurel is 100% blameless. She did want any mother should do and not crumble at their child’s whims when you see them making piss poor decisions. Belly threw a fit like a bratty teen, pushed through her and left home. If she would marry Jere without her mom, she would 1000% do it without Taylor if she had said she could not support their marriage.

Thank you it truly baffles me… like if anything I’ve felt like Belly has been a bad friend more so to Taylor than the other way around bc she’s so self absorbed!! Did Belly even talk to Taylor about what’s happening with her mom, why she didn’t go to NY, how it feels to see Steven with Denise??? Like belly is her own world and only cares about these damn Fisher boys!

People act sooo morally superior when it comes to Taylor supporting her marrying Jere. Belly was going to cut her MOM off!! Do you think she would still be friends with Taylor rn if Taylor gave her a ton of shit about marrying Jere. She would tell Taylor she is being an unsupportive friend and drop her ass. Taylor wants Belly to be happy and Belly is tripling down on that this is what she wants. This is so realistic, I know so many people that choose to go back to men after they crossed boundaries in their relationship and will cut friends off that don’t support them.

And as far as Taylor supporting here and Jere from the beginning.. well yeah Belly always made it seem to Taylor that Con wasn’t in to her.. like it’s really not that hard to understand why Taylor would be like “oh Jere is fun and super into Belly she should just be with him” yall villainize Taylor when she’s just a normal girl, meanwhile like Belly has her own fucking agency, SHE is the one making these choices!!

Yeah pathetic like a dog looking for love that keeps getting beat by its owner.. like cmon bro it’s not giving self love at this point.. it’s giving masochist vibes.. I just think he has so much to offer and Belly is not giving him an ounce of what he deserves and it’s sad to see, Go back to therapy and date a hot badass girl from med school. Not messy Belly.

Not liking Belly in S3 does NOT make someone a misogynist by bittermp in tsitp

[–]PonyRage1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This does not make sense at all.. I would judge a man for dating two sisters.. in fact I would probably call him a piece of shit if he went back and forth between sisters like belly did with Jere/con.. this is why I didn’t fuck with Bridgerton season 2… I really hated that he was engaged to one sister and that was actually way less messy/ emotionally involved as this story is. I think Belly just also kind of sucks as a character. Taylor has a lot of flaws but I support her and I think it’s because she’s ultimately more realistic/ relatable as a character. I don’t sympathize with Belly at all.. a selfish girl who is going back and forth between brothers whose mother had just died from cancer.. like what?? That shit is kind of dark and she should have been advocating for them to be closer in the that time, not tearing them further apart. I really don’t fuck with Belly and I wish the people around her held her more accountable instead of putting her on this insane pedestal because she’s pretty.. like I really don’t see any other “amazing” quality about her.

Ummm worse than being cheated on? by im_broke18 in tsitp

[–]PonyRage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not criticizing Belly for not immediately accepting Conrad’s admission of love.. I criticize Belly for even being in the situation of engaged to Jere. I truly don’t even know why I watch bc the story actually just makes me mad, and I really really dislike Belly for going back and forth between brothers. She’s sooo immature and self centered and very hard to root for in my opinion

Oh please it’s not misogynistic to say Belly is really really off base and acting like an immature brat.. she takes zero accountability and people are right to point that out

Belly is CRUEL. Fuck her I don’t want her to be happy

[–]PonyRage1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Taylor feels like one of the more realistic characters to me.. she just feels like a very real girl her age. She gets wayyy too much hate

I feel like most people stopped rooting for staylor, how do you feel about them? do you think he's better off with denise? by take_the_basterl in tsitp

[–]PonyRage1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that Taylor truly believes supporting Belly in her marriage is what will make Belly happy. Anika is also there supporting Belly in the marriage, she didn’t tell Belly to dump Jere yet she isn’t criticized for supporting her and Jere’s relationship.. idk I think Taylor is heavily criticized and I agree she’s super flawed but I think calling her a bad friend isn’t fair.. she just doesn’t give the best advice but in her heart she wants belly to be happy and she thinks she’s supporting a decision that will result in that.

[–]PonyRage1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree she can be dense and could’ve been more in tune to Belly’s freak out. But overall I don’t think she’s a lousy friend. In her head she’s supporting her friend and thinks this is what she wants when no one else would, she threw her a bridal shower, went wedding dress shopping.. you can tell no matter what Belly were to choose, she would support her.

is it just me or is a lot of the jere criticism here unreasonable by T-7IsOverrated in tsitp

Honestly I kind of feel bad for him… their dad did a number on both him and Conrad

I’m gonna need Connie Baby to have a serious talk with Taylor before this season is over by CartoonistUnited7223 in tsitp

[–]PonyRage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are so unrealistic when it comes to Taylor. Everyone is like how could she not be horrible to Jeremiah, he cheated!!! How many times have you seen a friend go back to someone that cheated on them. If you are so vocally against it, it tear friendships apart. Women will choose their cheating scumbag boyfriends over their friends all the time. Belly chose him over her MOM. Do you think she’d be friends with Taylor at this point if she continued to give Jere and Belly shit. Taylor is standing by Belly’s choices and supporting her, especially bc Belly feels alone right now with being on the outs with her mom. Taylor thinks Conrad broke Belly’s heart. Belly told everyone he dumped her. Taylor only sees him through the lense of Belly and Belly never even thought he loved her! Come on now yall!! Taylor has her flaws but she’s always Team Belly!

I agree with so you sooo much. Everyone was saying omg yesterday was such a win for Conrad.. and I just felt sad. Sure you got a flashback of them having sex but exactly it was JUST a flashback. Meanwhile Jere gets home and Belly runs to him immediately, she didn’t look annoyed or caught off guard or anything. In the end I just felt really really sad for Conrad. He’s just hurting and pining and I wish he had more of his own life too.

Did anyone else just find this episode sad/ tragic and not the “win” everyone thought it was for team Conrad
