This. I feel like he’s a good guy who has done bad things. He's already said he's cheated in his past and he's grown from that. That getting married is different for him than dating in the past was..... we'll see if that holds true. Its not even so much cheating for me. Its something else. Maybe the anger thing just stuck with me? It makes me nervous for her I also didn't like how its almost a game for him to get her to have sex. That all came across super creepy to me also. I havent caught up on the latest episode so something may have changed in that regard that I didn't see

I really like Miles too. I wonder sometimes if him and Amani would have been a better match. Brett sucks

I agree that Olivia seemed very focused on maintaining her single life and not enough on their shared life. He was equally annoying though when he refused to play the "rate your marriage" game and then iced Olivia out when she tried to talk about it. I do think this is the beginning of Brett's unraveling though. I've been waiting for his true colors (mainly arrogance) to show and it seems like it's happening. All of this. Idk how Olivia thinks she’s going to fit Brett into that jam packed social schedule. But he is for sure going to just lose it at some point. I could tell by the way that he reacted to finding out she made 3x as much. That smug smile on his face when he was purposely icing her out made me want to punch him lol. Christina seemed annoying with the food thing, but as a former server, that’s not even close to the worst I’ve seen lol. I didn’t realize that the producers are sitting there throwing questions at them while they eat and stuff. I feel like such a reality newb. I think she needs to relax just as much as Henry actually. Amelia and Bennett continue to be adorable. Same with Woody and Amani. But after their talk about anger in whatever episode that was, I feel like real world Woody is going to be different. Karen and Miles, I continue to love Miles and Meh on Karen. I didn’t like the way she handled him telling her about his depression. I also didn’t like that he can’t be a mans man because he has depression or emotions or whatever?! I love that he’s anti toxic masculinity. But I guess that’s not what she wants? So idk 🤷♀️ Yes to Karen. I get that she may have been caught of guard or whatever, but calling him not masculine is just something. And to say she wants masculinity, but wouldn't give him her phone number because she doesn't know him well enough?

I dont like Amani and Woody. I cant quite figure out why. Woody seems nice but something about him makes me uneasy? I dont even know what it is. I hope he doesn't hurt Amani. I like her a lot and just dont see them as a match He is a sweet talker used to getting his way. The way he talked about how he just has to keep doing things that she likes to get the Chasity belt off was what started it for me. He doesn't seem genuine to me right now.
I hope I am wrong

What is Karen's deal with the age? She is only 4 years older than him. I guess 26 and 30 is different but he hasn't made it seem as though he isn't a mature 26. I guess his video game system did it? I am here to tell her mine is 42 and still plays video games

Woof that conversation between Olivia and what’s his name about finances was awkward
I get what he was saying though he said it in a douche way. She can’t want to go to expensive things but have her husband foot the bill

They’re both digging in too much though and he in particular is getting defensive which is making him seem less reasonable and more combative.

Exactly but I knew they weren’t a match during the matchmaking special She seems to focused on social and fun and he is too focused on money and both are right but shows they will never work

And I feel like when she has debt he is probably concerned that it will be his debt now and she's talking about trips and shit when he probably feels like she should be getting rid of the debt first. I was glad he got up and got her the tissue though. I thought at first he was walking out.

I fell asleep during the end of last night's episode, but my god can Christina and Henry just be done already. Their "friend" get together was awkward af. I still love Woody and Amani (though him talking about their sex life was cringe), Amelia and Bennett, and Karen and Miles. Karen seemed to be opening up and they even kissed! I'm still not a giant fan of Olivia and Brett, but it was cool seeing them sit down and discuss budgeting and trying to compromise.

The only party that felt "real" was Bennett and Amelia. Fish bowls of truth or dare questions and shit just seemed too forced.

Ugh, Christina and Henry are such a mess. You can tell they have a lot of hostility toward one another and that they're both resentful toward one another. I just think it's so toxic for them to keep it up another 6 weeks when I don't really think there's any saving that relationship.

I kind of feel like Henry isn't trying. And he seemed embarrassed of her at their little gathering.
She finally seemed to get that he was slow moving and all that since his friends said it, but as soon as they were gone she started bitching about it again, so I guess not.

I think that while the "experts" thought their opposite natures would bring out the best in one another, they're on the extremes of their differences. Christina is very vocal and pushy about how forward she wants her spouse to be, which intimidates and pushes Henry away, and he's SO slow and shy and reserved that he's just further fueling her outspokenness, which shuts him down even more, and the cycle keeps repeating itself.

Yep! I keep telling my H that Henry needed to be matched with another introvert or at least someone who could be empathetic to someone who's a little more reserved. My H and I are both introverts but we like to say that we're extroverted together because we get each other.

So I’m still all in on Amelia and Bennett. I actually loved their quirky mural because it just seemed to work for them and their friend group. Amani and Woody are also still a fave. They seemed just so comfortable with their friend groups and I love how hard he seems to be trying. I was happy to see Karen and Miles get more comfortable with each other and actually kissing. I think if she can give a little on traditional roles and he can be a bit more assertive (because I think that’s what she wants) then they could be really great.
I cringed at basically all of the Christina and Henry stuff. Maybe it’s the editing, but her continuing to drag the production crew into their fights is so off putting. I think Henry doesn’t like her at all but is too shy/introverted/whatever to say anything. So he’ll let it keep going until decision day.
I also hate Olivia and Brett. I think she’s too stuck in her single life and he just reads like such an asshole to me. I’m glad they worked on their budget together but I feel like it will forever cause problems. Because they don’t just disagree, they look down on the other person for their choices.

The budget conversation was SO passive aggressive and I don't think it changed either of their mindsets about how to approach their finances. I don't see them lasting long term.

Agree with all of this I laughed though when Woody was all she likes nice things so she will pay for them if you won’t and I’m all.........no she won’t she wants him to

Finally Henry smiled! I'm glad they were able to talk finally, but...idk...still seems forced.
I didn't like the way Miles approached Karen about intimacy. It was too aggressive and he needs to just let things happen naturally. Dude, she just let you kiss her for the first time, you can't just assume she's ready to get naked now.
Unfortunately, I see more of a friendship vibe from Amelia and Bennett. It could just be that they don't show a lot of affection on screen, but off camera they do. Just from what I'm seeing it's like 2 buddies hanging out.

I love that they get along and their quirks complement each other but I don't feel like what they have is a marriage nor do I see them raising kids together. But we'll see. I'd like to be wrong! Miles was aggressive with the intimacy stuff but I wonder if maybe he was reacting to all the times Karen has emasculated him. He was probably giving her a dose of what she expects from a man since she hasn't been very receptive to an emotionally sensitive and present guy.

meowmaps, that's true about Karen. I feel like her friend was a bit misleading in the previous episode when he told Miles he needed to step up and be forward with her and stuff. I felt like she was making a trap for him to walk into.

His move was not the right one.
