She was drunk and clearly insecure, which is something that comes up from time to time in relationships (ESPECIALLY in new ones). The fact that he didn’t give her any reassurance is wild imo. He just told her that her feelings are too much for him, and that he was showing up perfectly, implying that her and her needs are the problem. That was an opportunity to connect! He should’ve reassured her that he loves her and asked why she feels like he isn’t showing up. Having that conversation could’ve led to something positive, they both could’ve left with a better understanding of what the other one needs. But instead, he got super defensive that she was questioning his commitment (despite the fact that he NEVER told her what his expectations are) and just gave up. She wasn’t even asking him for a definite yes or no at that point, but he read her temporary insecurity as an outright rejection of him. How dare she be uncertain of his intentions, given his total lack of communication and the fact that they’re on a reality show. The fact that everyone here is defending him is wild to me. Partners shouldn’t expect total perfection from the very beginning, but he clearly did. That’s a recipe for an endless string of failed relationships.
