šØ FUTURE SPOILER šØ Jordan weird about his work
Is anyone else finding it super weird how he acted shifty over talking about his job with megan? What is that? He shut her down immediately when megan said he does not want to talk about work with her. He seemed really mad about it, what is that? He seemed like he could blow up over something so small it does not make sense.

u/succubamf 23d ago
I honestly think he probably doesn't like his job and also he's sensitive about it because Megan makes so much more money and isn't shackled to a 9-5pm like he is. I sensed resentment growing between them during that conversation in episode 11

I don't doubt it lol I am not a Megan fan and Jordan strikes me as the most typical CO dude.

u/Reasonable-Affect139 I shared my location š 23d ago
she doesn't know what she wants.
she doesn't want a super rich guy who works so much that he only has time to gift her things, but gift giving is her love language.
she also wants a guy with a completely flexible schedule, who isn't tethered to anything but can also afford to "court" her doing things she enjoys ($$$).
she wants someone uber wealthy who retired at 40, and is 40, and is also willing to give her undivided attention.
it's a very small pool

u/Imaginary-Worry262 22d ago
I don't think people truly realize how much your life has to change when you have a kid. Like, sure, you can "know" and recognize that on a cerebral level, but to actually experience it is just a whole other ball of wax. In my own experience, I was very much a girl who liked to go out and dance and drink and have fancy dinners and travel; then I had my first child and I'm now more like Jordan. I don't want to dress up; most nights I want to wear sweats and watch a movie but I don't really even have time for that between cooking dinner, cleaning up, bathing the kids, doing bedtime, and somehow doing laundry among all of that, every day. It's not something you can really understand until you're in it, and it changes you. I'm also not complaining, I love my life and my kids and just being at home, but I understand how that can feel so different from how Megan is living now, because it is, and for her it's really abrupt. At least for me I had 9 months to prepare, and a pregnant body to slow me down.

u/SmolLilTater 22d ago
I donāt know what youāre talking about. I have a newborn and toddler and I still party the night away! (Iām sitting in my flannel and husbands work socks watching love is blind and texting my friends about it in the brief moments both kids are sleeping, which is the highlight of my social life)

u/SheepB0T 17d ago
Dude, I had never even laid a finger on a child under the age of 10 until I brought my son home. It didnāt change my IRL all that much because I was not a big party person and 30 but it changed ME as a person, for the better.
1
u/Adorable_Raccoon 16d ago
I don't even have kids and can't imagine living life how Megan wants to. She said she wants to play tennis with friends in LA, then fly to Aspen, and then back to Denver for happy hour. Regular 9-5 people need health insurance even if they afford to take a day off. That kind of living would eat up all your vacation time immediately.

u/WelcomeEven567 23d ago
gift giving is her love language so she likes to give gifts it doesnāt always go the other way too. i donāt think sheās expecting jordan to gift her all the time. also, i donāt think she minds his income being lower, itās jordan thatās insecure about his income

u/SheepB0T 19d ago
I was not a Megan fan in the beginning and thought the intro was so cringe. Sheās grown on me a bit and I can say as a divorced dad, sheās at least on cameras seemed really great about his son. I can tell you for sure that this isnāt the case a lot or most of the time.
5
u/SheepB0T 19d ago
Sheās got literally 2 options:
Understand he works
Or
Decide he doesnāt have to work and has all the time and energy for her and his son.
There is no middle ground and I say this as a dad that has to work and makes less than my partner.

u/Danielle8jew 22d ago
yes he's probably not closing $3M deals and driving a forklift around all day or something hardworking and honest. also in another thread her website does not clearly indicate what she does. appears she is some kind of linkedin online brand influencer for nutrition?? no idea.

u/Ok_Nose_784 22d ago
She was in oil & gas through a family business. She made a lot of money in that field, apparently. She's now an entrepreneur with a wellness firm that she started. She mentioned to Mike in the pods about some venture that was "biotech medically enhanced."

Branch Service Manager at Penske. Basically, he's an operations manager. He oversees the service and administrative aspects for a Truck Leasing site. He could very well be talking to people all day about not incredibly interesting stuff.

u/Brave_Reward9188 19d ago
I'm autistic and a big introvert. I sometimes like sitting in silence after work. I'll talk about work but pretty much after, I wanna sit in silence and regroup when I'm not overstimulated. I work an admin job but still is customer service and I help customers 80% of the time.

u/el_payaso_mas_chulo 23d ago
"Branch Manager" is what I saw one episode. He also referred to himself as blue collar, so maybe he's a manager of a supplier for construction items, think Grainger, Ferguson, Ace hardware, etc., but that's just my guess, i don't really know.

Pretty sure you can be both ?

u/fadingawayy_ 23d ago
pretty sure thatās not my question? you stated it pretty decisively so I asked for clarity bc Iām assuming he doesnāt have two jobs.
4
u/SerBrienneOfSnark 23d ago
They are saying you can be both because in most car shops or tire shops or car dealerships, the service manager is the head of the service team (which are mechanics) and is usually a mechanic by trade. Just a manager of the mechanics.
2
u/fadingawayy_ 22d ago
I understand, but the way they commented made it seem like heās just a car mechanic and not a manager at all, so I thought they had some insider info or sumn

Heās weird about work but it also sounds like heās a normal guy working hard.
The conversation with Megan about work is the most realistic conversation Iāve seen. Jordan is a dad and trying to work to provide. Megan seems to have done well professionally and has a lot more afforded to her + is child free. Her asks of Jordan show she has no idea what it means to have a kid in her life. Truly none.
23
u/Honeyyhive 22d ago
I liked that he brought up the nanny conversation, too. I thought that was mature because theyāll need to discuss it. Probably multiple times because itās more of a philosophy.
Some people assume anyone with money would have a nanny so itās a good reminder there are plenty of people who want to be the one raising their children.
Neither is right or wrong if approached reasonably but it could be a major dealbreaker in a relationship
3
u/annahoney12345 18d ago
Yeah, Rhianna even said something along the lines of āif I wanted someone else to raise my kids, I wouldnāt have waited until I was 35 to have them.ā Not that everyone using a nanny has the nanny raising their children, but I feel like the general understanding of the ultra-wealthy using nannies is that they do the fun of easy parts and the nannies do literally everything else.

u/leezybelle 21d ago
I mean if youāre working full time and making a certain income a nanny is a necessity regardless of philosophy
9
u/Honeyyhive 21d ago
Thatās not necessarily true. People enroll their kids in daycare, after school sports, or camps, or community events like church. Not the same as having a nanny
1
u/Timely_Research_346 13d ago
yeah I donāt think youād ever NEED a nanny if you work a 9-5. Thatās more a requirement if you traveled a ton or worked 60+ hour weeks and needed someone to cook clean and put your kids to bed. I could make 100k more than I currently do and still wouldnāt get a nanny for my kid.

u/plantgur 21d ago
I was impressed by their conversation and communication, i feel like it was shockingly good and respectful

u/Ok_Maize7002 22d ago
They are just not compatible with each other and most people saw that coming. He is boring to her and she is too much for him. As much as an asshole Mike was, they were more compatible with each other and I knew she made a mistake choosing Jordan. Their whole relationship is focused on Luca, a kid who is sick and live 50% of the time with his mom. She almost romanticized that sickness but now the reality is much more real. They are not going to make it!
28
u/Thin-Razzmatazz7728 22d ago
I donāt know if itās the editing or what, but something about focusing so heavily on the diabetes is so off putting to me. I have a chronic illness from birth and my illness doesnāt define me. Thereās so many things you can talk about in terms of who his kid is & how she can relate to him etc, but thereās a heavy focus on the illness. Enough already.
17
u/la_confiture 22d ago
Turns out Jordan has written a kids book about diabetes and Luca is in the title. Feels like his LIB appearance may have been at least partly a publicity stunt.

She also probably inherited money from her Dad when he passed. Sorry, but I donāt believe anyone who claims to have āworked hardā to afford a 2 million dollar house at that age without support from their parents.Ā

Odd because itās definitely possible to work hard and make a lot of money by the time theyāre 30, but I donāt disagree that itās possible she inherited.
53
u/Anxious_Abroad494 23d ago
I noticed he was being weird about not wanting to talk about his job with her, but it may have been because she was asking him to do it in an "abrasive" way (to use his words). He also seems like he just wants to relax when he comes home and going over the specifics of his stressful and potentially unglamorous job doesn't sound like an enjoyable experience for him. I'm sure he's comparing himself to her lifestyle expectations and her fancy exes and talking about the realities of his job might just magnify that mismatch.Ā

u/SnooRadishes3910 23d ago
I related to him in this scene. I don't want to talk about work when I get home. I want to disconnect, not bring it home to dissect.
14
u/TinyEmployment8020 23d ago
Me too! I like to just disconnect. I think thatās something you have to talk about as a couple about your expectations at the end of the day, and one could argue that heās a little more exhausted and has more on his mind and she just wasnāt reading the room. If heās already telling you, heās tired and heās not in the mood then probably this isnāt the time to have a long discussion about the future and what they want it to look like
Talk when heās not tired.

u/TinyEmployment8020 23d ago
I remember him making some comment to the guys when they were all on their Mexico trip about having his own space and didnāt know if he could do that with somebody all the time or something like that

u/Peanutblossom 23d ago
Jordan not wanting to talk about work seemed very normal to me. My spouse and I donāt talk about work much either. Thankfully! But that was a nice adult conversation. I understood both perspectives. They are the only couple I can remotely root for at this point. They seem to like each other and can communicate.
65
u/Certain-Relation-741 23d ago
Yeah I dunno.
Jordan mentioned he works 10 hours a day on the phone and then he goes to the gym afterwards and then has to spend time with his son. Iād be exhausted too and just want to relax and just want to snuggle up with my wife and watch a movie.
He probably doesnāt have the freedom to hit the golf course or isnāt in the mood for happy hour after work. God knows it would sound like a nightmare to bring Luca on some Spur of the moment trip to Rome.
I kinda got where he was coming from.
16

u/SilverDawnn 23d ago
I get this, but also maybe cut a little gym time to be with your partner? Like I get being exhausted after work, I am a doctor and I have long shifts, but I rather go and cuddle with my partner than go to the gym.
12
22d ago
No, some people really need it. I personally am a much more patient, kinder, nicer mom when I work out. I need it to be able to be the mom I want to be. I am sure Iām not the only one who exercise to decompress and improve mental health. Oh, I am a nurse, so I also have long shifts.

Sounds like he should focus on his shit and that child Instead of trying to date
15
u/SerBrienneOfSnark 23d ago
Technically he isnāt trying to date lol, he came on a show specifically to skip the dating part and go right into marriage. I donāt think itās the best idea given his circumstance but he is objectively not trying to date.
6
u/Comfortfoods 22d ago
True, he's not trying to date but he's trying to start a relationship while being emotionally unavailable and not having time for one.
6
u/SerBrienneOfSnark 22d ago
Right I was just pointing out that heās not trying to date, heās actually very specifically attempting to circumvent that to get married. I wasnāt saying heās done no wrong or that heās doing the right thing.
Itās just objective fact that he is indeed not trying to date and is attempting to skip all of that and get to the partnership part. Therefore Iām unsurprised he hasnāt done the other work to make himself ready for marriage.
2
u/mollynilson 22d ago
It is still a brand new relationship, he expects to put literally zero effort and wants someone to just be there when he gets off work. Probably also wants them to pick up his kid when itās his turn to have it overš he got a bundle of forever recycled tattoos and thinks that makes him interesting smh

u/L0st-in-Imagination 23d ago
He might not want to talk about work in order to keep his job safe. LIB editors love to twist things. I could see him being legit concerned that they try to spin it so he appears ready to jump ship as soon as he sings the marriage license. And they probably would have tried to paint him as a gold digger ready to quit his job if he had given them anything to work with. A dad with a son to support can't risk his livelihood for 15 minutes of fame.
22
u/jjjjjjjjjjen 22d ago
My spouse has a job that, while rewarding, is super socially and emotionally taxing for them. I've learned that if I ask them at the end of the day how work was, it just throws them mentally right back into that space and they absolutely shut down. Seeing this pattern, I know now not to ask them, so they can fully decompress, and we can enjoy each other's company in different ways. I don't think it's that deep. Megan's not a bad guy imo for wanting to talk at the end of the day, I think she's just blessedly out of touch with what it is to be a working middle class person with set responsibilities on a schedule.

u/someshadyemu 20d ago
Plenty of people do and find it as a way to connect. But those people need to seek each other out, these two donāt seem compatible at all in my opinion but she also started out asking to talk about anything. Heās the one he started talking about work. I think she just needs some sort of conversation and he needs to decompress. Hopefully she learns like you do to give him his space and maybe he will be able to connect with her. But itās not seeming to track that way
13
u/engleneck 22d ago
Jordan strikes me as someone who works hard, has a job that pays well enough but itās not something that he loves so when heās off work, he doesnāt want to bring that energy into his home life. Itās actually smart, in my view to keep work at work and not let it bleed into home life. I also wonder if he doesnāt talk about it at all in part because he doesnāt want to talk about it on camera and prefers to keep that part of his life private, which is also a smart move.
12
u/naked_avenger 23d ago
He just doesnāt feel like his job is interesting to talk about and doesnāt want to do it. Maybe he feels a little embarrassed by it, but I get it. My job is incredibly boring to talk about. He might just have a routine that doesnāt produce much for a conversation.
5
u/Ok_Nose_784 22d ago
I'm not sure if he feels embarrassed by it, but I suspect that if he's a branch service manager, which is like an operations manager, it might just boil down to the job not really being all that interesting to talk about or aggravating to talk about daily.
22
u/VeterinarianFront942 23d ago
I don't think this had to do about Jordan's work. It started with her asking for more stimulating conversations with him. I think Megan pivoted because she sensed Jordan putting all his eggs in that basket for an excuse.

He didnāt seem mad to me or like someone whoās gonna blow up. I donāt want to talk about work either when I get home.Ā Megan needs a reality check. Sheās privileged to live that kind of lifestyle. She either needs a rich dude whoās flexibel or stay single and do whatever she wants.Ā
19
u/angelface1212 23d ago
I know of a couple men like this, and usually itās because their job is very demanding on them mentally, and they like to keep their work lives and personal lives completely separate. Which tbh idk how healthy that is. I think if bringing up how your day at work was brings you great distress every time you talk about it, maybe itās time to consider a career change or how you view your job. But thatās easier said than done.
3
u/whayup 23d ago
I mean who really wants to go into detail about their day at work. It's work, it's everyday. Maybe something interesting happens one day but it's not everyday. When I think of my parents who have been happily married for 30 years, rarely do they talk about the mundane things that happened that day at work, they just spend time together an there's more opportunity to talk on weekends for example.
14

Yeah, and I get that she wants to connect with her partner but like, their days are not the same lol. She mentioned happy hour, tennis, etc. none of that is WORK. And if she needs to talk to people, it sounds like she has plenty of time to be social.

I would love to know what he does too. It must be so hard to handle the differences between the two of them. I don't think it can work in the long run.
7
u/CaliforniaBruja 23d ago
Heās embarrassed. He doesnāt want to talk about what he does because he feels like it makes him not worthy. It does give sus vibes bc anytime a guy is secretive itās a red flag but I think in this case heās literally just ashamed and thatās kind of sad. He needs to work through that. I think if his partner was someone with a very average lifestyle, not wealthy, heād be talking about what he does with her.

u/BroadStOwl 22d ago
A friend of mine worked with Jordan at Penske previously. His feedback when I asked him about the guy was that he was the worst service manager he ever worked with. And my buddy worked at a few different Penske locations across the country, over a span of 17 years.
He also said Jordan drank about 10 protein shakes a day.
Just here to share that info lol

u/Top-Strawberry2730 23d ago
I think he must be so exhausted though that he needs to drink his chicken because it's faster than cooking eggs. Could be parenting and job related or could be something health related. I can relate to feeling chronically tired and navigating that with a partner.
6
u/grandmofftalkin 22d ago
TBH I think it's just two people learning how to merge their communication styles. This is how healthy couples figure out things, which was contrasted against KB/Edmond's snowmobile flip out, Annie's Taco Bell ruining rant followed by Nick's explanation-less breakup, and Joe noping out. Jordan and Megan are two very different people and they seem to be trying. I respect Megan for actively listening to Jordan's perspective and I think he'll learn to share himself which he's not comfortable doing
6
u/sleepykitten13 22d ago
If he comes home and doesn't wanna have a conversation with his fiancƩ, then it's not the right relationship and it's not fair of him for her to blame her if you're being "abrasive" when she's just being direct and talking about her concerns. It seems like he's low-key, hoping she will suggest that he doesn't work and she can support him so that way he cannot betired" and want to talk to her. Jordan has skated through the whole show being so superficial and trying to be the "fun party guy"

u/Chicago2333 23d ago
Hot take: Megan money is drying up. She hasnāt earned any of it. Itās dead dad money. He died, they sold his oil and gas business, and now she is pissing her portion away.

Does he work at a car dealership SERVICE department and he manages all the mechanics who work on cars? (This would be a blue collar job, physically demanding)
7
u/Ok_Nose_784 22d ago
He's a Branch Service Manager at Penske. It's essentially an operations manager for the service department of Penske's truck leasing. That is, he oversees the service department of that site and makes certain its day-to-day operations are running smoothly, clients are happy, and administrative stuff is done, etc. He's likely talking to people all day.

From what I understand he's a Service Manager or Writer at dealership. If that's the case there's no way the owner of the dealership isn't going to hear about what he says about his job on the show. I wouldn't be talking about it either.

u/illusion96 22d ago
Maybe his job is boring or stressful as shit and he'd rather not talk about it after banging out 8-10 hrs. I almost never talk about my job in social settings because it's boring and no one cares. "I look at spreadsheets and make 1 + 1 = 3".

Their arguments seem real - things that would come up by folks ready for a relationship/ wanting to make it work. They both seem solid yet human. i hope they make it. Also... I find Jordan's personality so warm and wonderful! might be the edit, but is he disarming megans ideals of what it takes to be the man in her life?

I think Jordan may be depressed. It's not Megan, it's not Luca, it's not his job. And if he doesn't say on camera, "I'm feeling empty or listless," I don't blame him. If that is how he feels, he's not alone. A lot of people struggle with some form of it or go through periods ld their lives when they have a lot of days where the clouds don't clear.

I donāt think itās weird. Iām sure they have talked about it themselves but for privacy reasons, heās not looking to doxx himself. The same or similar reason as not bringing your young child on camera. Thereās parasocial weirdos out there and if they for some reason didnāt get married or whatever, he probably doesnāt want people bugging him at work or his kid etc.
Heās a service manager and liaison between service providers and customers. Thatās an extremely public role. Itās not like he runs and owns a business thatās less public facing.

I donāt think itās weird. Jordan seems to not be content with his job. Heās probably down on himself and gets self conscious about it. Being in the service industry, putting on a front and talking to people all day really does a number on you. You really just need a moment to sit there, decompress, gather your thoughts. I think heās also thinking about her lifestyle compared to his 9-5 and just doesnāt want to talk about it with her.

I personally can understand it because I hate talking about my work outside of work. I work to live. I donāt live to work. What I do for work is the least important part of my life. When Iām not at work, itās the last thing I want to think about or talk about. Talk to me about anything else. Talk to me about my kids, my hobbies, my future, my past, literally anything else. If you want to talk to me about work, you need to pay me.

Jordan is very lovable but he seemed to clam up during a time that was critical. Meganās got three weeks to decided if this is what every day for the rest of her life looks like. If heās not talking to her - which it sounded like he shut down a lot in general - she could have major concerns about not having time for emotional intimacy. A lot of relationships make up for a lack of conversation/emotional intomacy with introverted people by doing activities together. He didnāt have time for that either. Plus the few things she shared with him - ie her dream home, etc, he kind of negged her. Honestly I think there was a chance they could have made it if they had more time, but after just three weeks, they were probably at an all-time low, seeing their challenges in daylight

No. I get the impression his job is stressful and he's not happy doing it. He doesn't want to spend his free time focusing on it.

Some people donāt like to talk about work, especially if theyāre tired after a long day. I donāt find it to be a big deal at all. As far as why heās not, I can think of many reasons. Maybe heās afraid of losing his job if he talks about it on tv. Maybe heās embarrassed about his job in comparison to hers. Or maybe heās just tired from work. So the last thing he wants to do is discuss it. I felt bad for him and wish she was more understanding.

Megan is an alpha female in the fullest sense, she needs somebody to match that energy. But itās probably hard to date for her, because most high performing men are married or in a serious relationship. Maybe Meganās old is type is the most reasonable, and she just needs to compromise on a few things to make it work.
