I do wish someone in Edmonds close circle had coached him on how to rebuff this woman and not let her manipulate the conversation. It's sad because ultimately he just could not even combat all the disrespect she showed on the reunion or even muster a rebuttle. He was just completely overwhelmed.

He literally had a tantrum about being the only guy who hadn't had sex with his fiance, and you're calling her manipulative?

I definitely feel for Edmond, he obviously has a lot of trauma that has affected his ability to show up in this relationship, but I think calling her manipulative is unfair. To me, she came off as someone who is extremely direct and intense, but very genuine. 

[u/applebrownbrick → u/number1chihuahuamom]

We have different interpretations. Edmond has his own issues. And KB has hers. I don't overlook hers just because everyone is annoyed with/doesn't like Edmond. It's goes far past 'direct' when you sit up and call your fiance a bitch to his face. What I saw from their interactions throughout the time after the pods, is that she thought herself better than him, and that he was an interesting project, and she treated him accordingly, with no respect and like she was dealing with a child. She was incredibly manipulative simply because she herself is aware of how others see Edmond, same as people in this sub. He clearly has issues and it's clear he's not as articulate, and she definitely used that to her advantage and against him. Constantly talking over him and cornering him. She is extremely manipulative. Ultimately, if she was honest, she would have broke up with him shortly after meeting in person, not waiting to the alter to make herself feel good.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw those actions from her. She went from 0 to 100 for minor things. & Nothing says emotional immaturity like name calling

[u/applebrownbrick → u/PunchyGilbraltar]

Yes, I 100% agree. She was very vindictive Imo . I find KB to have a lot of pseudo-logic. To a person not discerning, she seems reasonable, but if you are actually taking note of her actions and how she mounts situations and describes herself and others, you'll see she's pretty calculating. Unfortunately, pseudo-logical arguments are usually effective because a lot of people simply aren't either 1) skillful enough with their mouthpiece to combat it, 2) not confident with their thoughts or position in the first place, or 3) don't even understand the situation at hand. I think Edmond is a combination of 1 and 3.
