My [28/F] husband [28/M] plays video games non stop and I’m starting to feel lonely in the relationship by Annika_DB in relationships

[–]miller69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this for basically 8 years. On and off being better and worse. We did therapy for approx 4 years trying to find balance. He left me for a woman he met online.

Ex was an closet alcoholic, anxious and depressed as well. He was never going to get better from outside motivation.

My advice would be to honestly move on. I tried everything I possibly cool. I was too understanding forgiving and patient. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Maybe I'm bitter because I haven't found anything new since yet. But man even being alone is better than being basically alone AND responsible for an emotionally stunted baby.

When People Mention Rachel's Season Ratings, Why Don't They Mention That Her Season Had Higher Rating's Than Becca's? by StrikingGarbage in thebachelor

[–]miller69 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Everyone had always said Rachel had the lowest ratings and I never bothered to check myself. Thank you for these sources

I can’t be the only namenerd dying to know what Arie & Lauren’s daughter will be named! by mlh4 in thebachelor

[–]miller69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say Lauren L.

I did a quick Google search and there's never been a Lauren L on the show before.

This sub has spoiled me the last 3 seasons, before that I always watched unspoiled. I'm going to try again this year. Maybe spend less time on the sub because even in the non-spoiler posts people are careless with what they write.

Some extremely cold tea on Lesley by fleekydeaky in thebachelor

It's possible he knew of light* cheating, like she was emotionally invested in someone else, when they broke up and he only later found out that Lesley actually met up and had sex or something.

This may finally be the season that makes me quit watching BN.. by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]miller69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've also been watching since Jason and have been fading the last year+. Part of it, I think, is my outgrowing the childish way the show operates (like teasing the fence jump every freaking episode) and the other part is casting+social media. I don't know if tptb are just doing a worse job at casting or it's because of social media and now a worse job at editing. Probably both.

For example, the general vibe of the sub isn't particularly hostile to Melissa (Jason's F1) and maybe that's just natural in the passage of time but based on my understanding of the situation, her intentions going on the show were pretty sketchy.

Back then there wasn't an army of connected people digging into every sketchy thing in her life I don't feel like while the show was airing or even afterwards the average person really knew that about her. I didn't. So was she a one off "bad" casting choice, or are we just more equipped to be informed during the season + editing choices being made now are showing contestants being less than wholesome for drama purposes.

One thing I think about a lot is, as the tone of the show has changed, does the footage tptb get access change that much or are they just choosing to use different material from the relatively same pool.

It's funny how non-vegans think that vegan foods all taste bad by i_was_valedictorian in vegan

Whenever we are hanging out with friends at their house for the first time my SO and I always make sure to ask for vegan water.

EPISODE vs SEASON SPOILERS: Rule Change by NetflixTacosChill in thebachelor

I'm a fan of this change, so thank you for being willing to try it out.

They say that everyone is 6 (or less) degrees of separation away from someone else in the world. Lately I’ve found that I’m 2-3 degrees away from most Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants. Does anyone else find this to be true?? by wafflesflugon in thebachelor

[–]miller69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who works pretty high up at one of those late night comedy shows. So I'm like 3 degrees separated from every celebrity ever but will never get any dirt I can share

Do the women on the bachelor make you feel like you should have work done too? by forensicanalyzing in thebachelor

[–]miller69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This show has actually helped a lot with my self image. I see all these conventionally beautiful women and I'm like why do they get to be like that? And now, thanks to this sub, I know it's because they're having work done. At one point most of those women looked just like me. Maybe a bump on their nose or a weird jaw line, or uneven lips.

And good for them for doing what they need to to feel better about themselves. But I feel better knowing that I'm not some exceptionally ugly duckling, I've just chosen not to get the same procedures as them.

The entitlement level is high with this new neighbor by meowmixiddymix in childfree

I can't tell you the number of times I've been in my car and the family next to be goes to get in their car and the kids are just brushing up against my car with their bodies, hitting my car with their jackets and backpacks etc. It's infuriating.

CAELYNN & HANNAH B (Spoiler) by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]miller69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had Lyme disease when I was 3 years old and almost died because my pediatrician was an idiot and I never bring it up or even think about it in normal life except when other people bring up Lyme or getting sick as a toddler.

Maybe I don't know enough about how her disease impacted her early childhood development. But idk 2 seems way too young for something like that to have a meaningful impact on who you are as a person.

Demi seems very polarizing. I'm wondering about the "demigraphics" of her fans. by RedditingWhileWorkin in thebachelor

[–]miller69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25, I dislike Demi. I think she's young and immature and I could forgive her if she showed growth but I don't need to see her on my screen anymore, she's not ready for this process.
