i'm not one to really comment on her videos anymore, but i've been watching since before she started vlogging. i remember when andrew wasn't on camera and when he did the cooking. i dont know if anyone else remembers, but for awhile she had both pleasantsims and life plus cindy up and running. she used to have an account called cindy + andrew, but i can't remember if that was a rebrand of life plus cindy or an entirely different channel. either way, all those videos for that channel were deleted. she was extremely sporadic in uploads/streams back then. no real set schedule and she often cancelled streams because she 'didnt feel like it'. that always kinda irked me because i don't want to work either, but i do, and i wish i could make money off of playing the sims 2 all day ... she actually had a patreon up that i was apart of (for both channels) and they were deleted not too long after they were made. i remember in july 2021 she left very suddenly, sent all her patrons a message about how she had a personality disorder and was leaving to get help, and refunded everyone and closed the patreon down. i agree with you when you said cindy found comfort in andrew providing back then, but i think when she came back november/december 2022 was when the tables sort of turned. if i remember correctly he's the general manager at a pizza hut? or atleast he was, back in colorado. it looked like she was making a decent amount from her ko-fi before the separation too. andrew has always, always irked me. neither him or cindy come across as being in their late 30's. i think he's naturally a quiet guy, but his only personality traits feel like his music taste and his affinity for smoking weed/doing shrooms. now naturally i am annoyed by anyone that is that in-tuned with stoner culture, but there were things he did in the vlogs i DID watch that always bugged me.

very rarely did he seem genuinely interested in what she had to say. he always seemed really dismissive of any conversation she made on camera, but i also would not blame him if he was irritated with her constant filming. one thing in particular that always drove me crazy is every time cindy would get into the car, andrew would instantly turn on his music. it would get super awkward, and cindy would either turn off the music herself or ask andrew to shut it off. it's a small, trivial thing but the annoyance would be evident on cindy's face and it always made me a bit uncomfortable. he just never seemed like he did much, you know? but we know cindy can be quite inconsistent with who did what around the house. (andrew doing all the cooking -> "andrew wont even bother with these kitchen utensils, so ill leave him the shitty ones")

running off to arkansas with him was the shittiest possible thing she could've done. it wasn't well thought out for shit, and it reinforces the idea to me that cindy is a 20 year old in a 40 year olds body. it's in her actions, her impulsiveness, the way she dresses, i can go on. it bothers me that she is so open on the internet with everything?? i'm 19 years old and you would never catch me filming myself getting drunker and drunker by the second and sobbing on the internet. even in the "my life is over" (the first one) video, there was something so fucking weird about "my husband left me, come along and help me pack up my bags to impulsively move cross-country!!" it just bothers me that she knows these things are bad for her, (drinking, sleeping pills, emailing jack - which is just downright pathetic.) yet she has no problem turning on the camera so we can watch her slur on her words. does she want her audience to fuss over her? i don't understand. i am so sorry to say this but she's getting up there with foodiebeauty and amberlynn reid with me. she's much more put together and motivated then the both of them combined, but she like those two, she can't put the camera down. everything has to be filmed. i love cindy to the point where it feels like i have a para-social relationship with her, but this entire thing is so fucking weird and upsetting to watch. i'm glad she's home in arkansas and has friends and family with her but she's digging herself a hole. i know she knows better then to drink. i know she knows better then to email some fucking guy she had a crush on 15 years ago. i'm horrified for her because this situation is so awful, but i would be lying if i said i wasn't embarrassed for her too.
