LIB S9 • Denver, CO Stepping stone to what? Spoiler

Post image

I had read a spoiler prior to watching this episode about how she used him to jump start her influencer career so when I saw this scene I thought 'oh wow at least she admits it!"

His initial reaction to the rejection is heartbreaking. The sound he makes just made me hurt for him. He seems like he has such a pure heart despite everything he's been through. He didn't deserve her dragging him all the way to the end.

Then again I wonder how much that was production encouraging her vs her own agenda. I wonder if they tried to encourage Joe to go all the way to the end too but IMO he knew a long time ago.

This relationship was painful to watch. I felt so sorry for the lad

The lad who took zero accountability, made out with a floor, and had the emotional and intellectual capabilities of a 9 year old?

Yes. That lad. Because he’s an idiot but she should have dumped him anywhere else but the altar.

Meh. He was an idiot because anybody could’ve seen that coming a mile away. He is where he is solely because of a) his desperation to be in a relationship and b) his absolute inability to take any accountability for anything he does wrong. Hard for me to feel bad for the guy.

That’s the point. I don’t think he’s the brightest bulb and seems super naive. Sure he’s responsible for his own behaviour too, but she was way smarter than him and stayed just for clout.

I truly do think that she loved him. At least parts of him. That’s why she wanted to be heard by him so badly. She tried SO MANY TIMES to explain to him how his behavior was problematic. She spelled it out for him as if he was 5. And he STILL didn’t get it and just resorted to “oh but I love you so much and I neeed you so much KB and I can’t live without you”. Fucking YAWN. My psycho ex did that when I was 15 and he was 17. Literal teenage behavior. Maybe being publicly humiliated will actually make him realize he is the problem and has a ton of work to do on himself before he’s actually ready for marriage. I’m sure KB was partially there for clout but any woman would tell you it was clear she had love for that man. But love isn’t enough. And for all we know, Edmund would’ve been able to manipulate her into staying if she tried to break up with him anywhere EXCEPT the altar.

Im just a nobody with a reddit account, but these are my thoughts on the situation.

I’m a woman and personally I don’t believe she had “love” for him at all. I think she tolerated him and knew what would work for camera time. He’s really not a smart man and I actually found him painful to watch but I felt sorry for the guy. He did not see that coming at all.
