IIRC, Nene dated a still married but separated man years later. I don't necessarily think Bethenny wanted wife privileges but they were something and possibly going to have future and he and his legal wife were getting divorced and she was dating someone else too. I think Bethenny was more of a present/future situation but his marriage and Jill were past.

I am thinking about the loss of Dennis and how it will impact her view of Jason, the custody battle and things related. Huge personal loss has different effects on people so I wonder if seeing Dennis's children miss their father will have her re-think her fight for full custody. Will she see that children need their father in as many ways as possible? Does she want to inflict any more damage on an already broken situation? I hope the death of Dennis causes her heart to soften not become harder.

This is simple and classy; it is all that needs to be said.

I like this.

They are both Cluster B Personality Disorders so they do overlap. She could be BPD with with co-occurring NPD but I think she is more BPD with NPD traits/features. I work as an RN on an Acute Inpatient Psychiatric unit. We dread the BPD patients we already know from previous admissions and new ones that our psychiatrists have accepted to be treated. IMHO it's one of the "worst" diagnosis or labels you can give to someone both clinically and like we are as there are so many preconceived ideas about the disorder with some being true and some not. ****In a post above I talked about teaching children and adults. I was a teacher then went back to school to be a nurse.****

The Capitalist Libertarian, everyone-has-free-will-to-do-or-not-something-regardless-if-it-exist-or-not part of me agrees 100%. Those that sign on the dotted line know what they are getting into. The other part of me that holds Christian/Catholic Social Justice in high esteem, thinks that if Paydays didn't exist, people wouldn't get screwed so we should really try to shut them down. Also, informing this position is that I've worked in lower-socioeconomic neighborhoods as a teacher of kids in schools and of adults in Welfare-to-Work programs and know that there is very low literacy and numeracy rates with the typical Payday user so they literally may not know what in the hell they are signing. Don't even get me started on the cost of a phone call to talk to a loved one in jail!

I see what you did there. I was honestly LOL!!!!!

I love this show!! I'm going to miss all of the people even though we still have the main characters. I think Florence is hysterical!! Karen- omg! She's a howl! Steve's "bush pants" was gold! I'm not sure I'm going to like people trying to kill our castaways!

I have no idea if he was abusing anything legal or illegal but a point of information about some drugs. Cocaine is very hard on the cardiovascular system and can be the COD even after someone has been sober for years as the damage is already done. Also, narcan only works on opioids not benzos, stimulants or cocaine.

WOW, that's a lot to deal with. I'm almost certain he already has a chronic pain doctor due to already having neurostimulators but if not, find one. They can do things other docs can't.

How sad that she feels that way about African-American men. I wonder where that stems from?

As well as whole groups of Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Muslims and Jews. Tristan knows that is a preference or a want of his and I think he thinks by virtue of it happening, it was the will of God. The line of thinking is God showed Tristan favor and granted him something he wanted; He certainly didn't have to but he did. So..... his thinking is Mia is the person who God wills for him to be married to for their good (how they can grow to be more like Jesus by being together) and for God's glory. I'm not saying them being put together is or is not God's will just that it seems as though my spiritual bent in some ways is similar to Tristan's based on what I've seen and am pretty confident in interpreting his line of thinking. God is far more concerned that when two Christians marry, they are each the best people for the other to be as Christ-like as possible, point others to God, raise children to love and honor God and bring Him glory. Tristan and Pastor think skin tone is a preference like height or weight, right? Pastor didn't call him out when it was mentioned. How and when does it turn into a prejudice? If his preference were for darker skin tone, what is that? I'm white and short, average weight with green eyes, fair skin and reddish hair- red when a child, turned brown, now I help it stay red. Some guys aren't into my look so they wouldn't consider me at all and exclusivity date tall, natural-haired, black girls. Am I to feel some type of way about that? Some might say yes but I just don't. I literally don't have a type in any category except religion so I don't really get it. It gets offensive when they are rude about it or everything else is there but no movement in the preference of the physical. My only "must have" is they must be a Christian- and live it out in fairly similar ways- ex. I don't believe that giving money to men on my tv brings me any favor with God or I will get more money in the the future. I think it's borderline heretical (and believe that I could support it with the Bible) so my husband could not be into that kind of belief system. God would have to do something for it to change. I had something happen years ago that still bothers me. I was a regular teacher in a middle school and there was a substitute teacher in for another teacher who was a black male, around my age and Christian. I assisted him throughout the day and we talked about our faith and other stuff during down times. I thought he was nice and cute. My precocious 8th graders saw all this and decided to help their 20-something year old teacher out without me knowing about it. I'm not exactly sure what they said to him but his answer was that he didn't date outside his race. Even though I had no intention of anything with him, my feelings were hurt and I felt very "less than" since I can't change my race. I was very surprised as I thought that he would be open to whoever God had for him regardless of race or ethnicity. I also felt bad for him that he was limiting himself in a matter that can't be supported with the Bible. I know that's right!

I agree with you that Tristan is following what he believes is God's will for him. I don't think the shade of his wife's skin plays into that much if at all. I am a Christian with beliefs like Tristan's and even if we prefer X and God gives us Y, then Y it is. We are not to hold on too tightly to our wants but trust God for our needs and believe that who/what he provides for us is for our good and His glory.

I think I missed something. Where did T & C meet? Some Bachelor Nation event? So let me get this straight: They were hanging out or maybe even dating and he all of a sudden left to go on the B'ette? That would mean he doesn't care about Tia so why is she waiting for him and crying?

I kind of remember something about that. I guess they are ok since he was at her party?

I love Destiney and have from TPC. I think she is the prettiest out of all of them women- with Mona a close second. They were busting on Nema and Mona for not speaking Farsi read- less Persian- but they actually lived in Iran when they were older unlike the others who left when they were very young. My point is I think they remember more of Iran so I think that they are just as Persian as the others and maybe a hair more. I guess Morgan is Persian too? A Sammy sighting!!! YAY!!

I agree in that they seem really, really, really happy and in love. More and different than other couples I've seen on both shows.

He probably owns a tutoring franchise where they make bank! It is very expensive to send your kids to one and they don't pay their teachers well at all. I worked at Huntington Learning Centers when I was a new teacher in the '90s. https://www.franchisechatter.com/2018/01/17/10-best-tutoring-franchises-2017-2018/

I agree it's a lot of money for sure! He looked pissed as though this was on ongoing issue in their years of marriage. If he didn't want to deal with someone's debt, don't get married at first sight.

I really do not like Mia at all. I love Tristan and could watch him just living life. He comes the REAL Bobby! Money will bring it out!!

He wasn't trying to leave at an airport/border crossing that is on the lookout. He went to California and was ahead of the authorities so yes, scarily, he could've gotten away had he been faster. Mia's charges had been there for a few months so authorities knew to look for her name(s).

Oh WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds really unethical!! Jon was a client! She can't do that!! Where did he post the pic? Now, that is a Lifetime movie and/or Law & Order: SVU episode!!

I think the experts are delusional!!! They have a "fixed, false belief." Mia is a lying liar and playing all of them!

I love Uncle Leo!! That was a good episode- but weren't they all???? I LOVE a Seinfeld shout out!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! 5 minutes later......... I just researched it and it's true! :( They are replaying S2 then. S3 was already written too!!! I'm so sad!
