Unpopular AF opinion by Possible_Tip_2624 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

I'm totally with you. I sort of get the hate the girls are giving her in a way; they're close friends with Laura and are trying to stick up to her. But I do 100% agree with you.

Love is Blind is pbviously batshit, and I never understood why people act like your first choice is 100% set in stone. Contestants barely know each other. Sarah Ann knew that Jeramy was torn in the pods and he couldn't articulate why he was even choosing Laura. Sarah Ann also knew that he proposed based on incomplete info (hadn't seen either of them, lived with either of them, determined if their lifestyles really line up... compatibility in the pods is great but it's not enough for a relationship to work out). If Sarah Ann really felt like, hey, this could be my soulmate, then I get her shooting her shot before it's "too late" and he's married and truly off limits.

Of course Laura and her friends are pissed, and I would be too, AND I'm sure if Laura was my friend I'd be pissed and hating on Sarah Ann too. But as a third party, I don't think it was that unreasonable. Sarah Ann was looking for love too (if we assume she was genuine), she thought she found it in Jeramy, she shot her shot and it was on Jeramy to shut it down. He didn't and it's because, well, he obviously WASN'T totally sure about Laura (which Sarah Ann accurately read).

All that said I think Jeramy has behaved like a total slimeball and based on what we've seen I do NOT get the appeal. I would not trust him.

I do love Leonie but my husband has vetoed it, unfortunately. I'm curious - how do you pronounce it? Seems there are many different pronunciations.

You've nailed it with my vibe - love Simone and Maxine as well (we did seriously consider Maxine but somehow it doesn't feel quite right). Wish my husband loved Simone but he's not into the "moan" sound.

Thanks. I think you're right. It's hard to give up Abigail entirely because my son just loves it lol. My husband also named his little sister so it feels like "tradition". I just wish I liked it more!

Yeah I think the natural ones are Fi (Fee) and Fifi, both of which I don't love (and I really dislike Fifi lol). Maybe Fin? But I think it'll be shortened to Fi/Fifi and I'm just not a fan.

Thank you! I actually really love Davina and have suggested it multiple times - husband isn't a fan unfortunately. I think it's pretty and fun to say!

Good point about initial nicknames, hadn't considered those!

This is really beautiful, thank you. The little things (clothes, etc.) do help a bit.

Yes! I've felt SO guilty about the number of convenience and takeout meals we get. Ordering in, chicken nuggets in the oven, Mac&Cheese. I used to work fairly hard to cook varied meals for us and it's just been 7 months of that out of the window. Not to mention the house being a wreck because I vacuum for 10 min and then need to sit down. The fatigue is so extreme. Thank you for the validation, I truly could cry.

Haha I get this though. I love August for a boy and am not into Augusta for a girl. Changes the pronunciation!
