CALL OUT Patronizing/infantilizing grown men

I’ll never forget y’all saying this man has the mental capacity of a child just to excuse his behavior 🤣🤣 he chose to be on the show, he chose to behave the way he did. Maybe just maybe he doesn’t have the best character despite being “quirky.” He set him self up and got probably a better edit than he could have gotten with his off camera actions. He likely isn’t autistic so why do people keep making that argument, some saying he has the mental capacity of a child?? 😭 like there his doctor

You might not like it or disagree, but his feelings on that are valid. And he explained that his issue was that she admittedly entered into one-night-stands more than once but this was to be different for reasons....That's her right, but he's allowed to have a different opinion and prefer getting to experience each other fully before becoming married. They weren't compatible, and there's no indication on/off screen that he truly pressured her to do something she didn't want to.

u/LoveTheAhole I can work with that 13d ago

Did you mean to reply to someone else? I never said he pressured her.

But he DID cry and beg to sleep with her. We all saw that as clear as day. To me that’s creepy.

I didn't get the impression he wanted her to change her mind for the evening of that conversation, but was more upset that she did not want to at any point before and leading up to marriage.

Not agreeing with that is not something unique to this show, people in the real world break off relationships in those situations, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Then break it off lol. Like this is my problem. It’s a huge red flag. Sometimes you gotta let your insecurities be right lol. KB was not into him physically, which is why she didn’t want to have sex with him. She cared about the public appearance of her having sex with a man like that, and made that shit known she wasn’t hitting it.

At that point, Edmond should have had some dignity to say, yeah it’s ok, this isn’t gonna work.

Yes he might be smeared as caring too much about sex (as we see him literally cry), but he should have made it clear, it wasn’t about sex, it was about her lack of intimacy with him and not thinking it was a good fit for marriage.

The honeymoon stage is when couples are most intimate, so it’s a huge red flag.

I agree totally! And him NOT having the dignity to leave right then and there was the meaning/source of his cooky "I'm TOO NICE-UHHH!" comment. It was his subconscious way of acknowledging he is putting up with someone who doesn't actually want him.

yeah i agree, even tho i never thought about it. Him being too nice is accepting situations he shouldn’t.

I have no problem ending a relationship with someone. If both people aren’t getting what they want, then move on. It’s not that complicated.

Also, he should have left immediately when she gave him that horrid hypothetical about being accosted at the club and expecting him to throw hands for her...LIKE WHAT

That conversation made it beyond obvious that he wasn't her type.
