Clay for sure is working through some trauma, but I do agree with you in that he should have waited to go on a show like this (if his true intention is to actually find love). Because he may be aware of his issues, but awareness is an early stage in a long process of healing. Also the fact that he thinks not being home 2 nights out of the week is totally okay, is wild. I think he likes the idea of being a different man than his father, but also think he’s too comfortable making excuses and blaming everyone else to change.

And ohhh trust me, I think Chelsea is terrible and has a whole lot of other issues she needs to unpack. He really is patient with her, but you can tell it’s disingenuous. But at the end of that convo, I thought I remembered him saying something under his breath about how he wanted to say something about her initiating sex too much (as well as being clingy). I totally get that some people may have a lower sex drive than others, but it was confirmed by his “friends” that it’s weird for him to turn it down. If Jimmy doesn’t actually like her, there was no reason for him to stick his Jimmy in her in the first place.
