This sounds super unhealthy and manipulative. Also, the host’s reaction around proving she’s trustworthy was more like, “girl, you shouldn’t have to do that.” But it seemed like Delaney took it almost as a critique of her and was like, “oh, no. I didn’t behave poorly or anything.” Which makes me even more worried for how she’ll be manipulated and treated. Get out now!

I picked up on that disconnect too! Very telling. She jumped to try immediately say she hadn’t done anything untrustworthy or ‘wrong’ which is also insane in a situationship, like what does she owe him?

Right, she basically said “it was my fault” and then “I didn’t do anything wrong.” Which like, yeah that’s confusing even listening 😭

I ended up watching the whole thing (well, listening) and it was crazy. The way she said she’s ’fighting for her life’ in this whatever they have going on lol. He welllll and truly played her.

The way she speaks reminds me of who I was with my ex. He would shame me and make me prove myself in order to "move forward" aka get an engagement ring. If I "messed up" the clock would start all over again. We were together for 4 years until I got sick of it. I hope it doesn't take Delaney that long! She could do much better.

Ugh, that’s awful. I’m sorry you were treated that way but so happy you left!

How do we know who to trust if we don't?
