Or she had ten roommates.

Remember the path laid by Vicky Stubing!!!

I think he is supposed to be at least a little sleazy but maybe that's just the pornstache? Me too, and I wasn't predisposed to liking it. We did know that Dexter's mom was Harry's CI and that he felt responsible for her death and Dexter's subsequent... maladaptation? I can't recall if there was something more to their relationship and whether or not they ever acted on it. I also can't remember why Harry took in Dexter but not Brian.

They will open a shipboard childcare center.

It's a full time job.

She was fine with a ponytail. Couldn't he just pull it back instead of forward and see what that does?

I get that it's a thing but the last thing on earth I'd pay money for is to make my ass bigger. I have ice cream for that.

That is a shame. He was young...

I figure her social media (really all of theirs) are all part of the marketing for the show. She knows that most of her followers are following as watchers of the show, so that's what she posts about (mostly). The social media and the show feed each other. It wouldn't surprise me if Christine (and the others) had private social media that they use the way the rest of us use our social media - to share kid updates, cute pet photos and recipes.

I don't think that she does much for him. I think all the "compromise" in their marriage is him changing to make her happy. I was surprised she threw a surprise birthday party for him but I guess since it counted for their "housewarming party" it was no more effort than she would have had to make anyway?

I am a social worker so I am picky about this job title. As I understand it, from another poster who found him on LinkedIn, David has a bachelor's degree in social work. That is great. Yay David. But I don't think he has ever been licensed or done any work in social work. I would say he is not a social worker. More importantly, I think the National Association of Social Workers would say he is not a social worker. I'm not sure what his actual job is except that he works for the city or the county and he works an evening shift. I don't think it's in anything social work-y. Back atcha and to everyone here. I think I only keep watching this show that I can chat with y'all here.

He said he quit as soon as she said it was a deal breaker for her. I think he vapes? Agreed. I also though Pia was emphasizing that David could change if Michelle introduced him to the finer things in life, instead of admitting that they are a mismatch and neither one of them should have to change who they are fundamentally. The experts like to throw a lot under the heading of "compromise."

It creeps the shit out of me.

I hope Tom's ex has found her perfect match too. Apart from that, I don't agree with what you have said. Tom and his ex-dated for nine years. Long time. He cheated on her. Horrible. People make mistakes though. And we don't know how long she expected this relationship to end in marriage, or for sure that she ever did expected or wanted that. She could have left, if she decided she was waiting too long for a proposal. She could have left if she felt she was wasting her time. I have several friends who stayed in romantic relationships longer than they should have because they were hoping to marry their boyfriends. I disliked their boyfriends for continuing relationships that, at least in some cases, I suspected was because they were unable to commit to marriage. But I also thought that my friends were making decisions to continue to stay, despite being clear on what they wanted and knowing clearly, that they weren't getting it in those relationships. Every single one of those women eventually said "now or never" and every single one of them ended those relationships. Every single one of them found a better partner. I don't think that the massage thing was an act, beyond sort of the regular producer-driven shenanigans and storylines. I think that Tom came on the show because he wanted a wife and I think he is developing solid feelings for Camille. Of all the couples this season, I think they might be the ones to stay married on Decision Day.

That may be what they are saying to Michelle but I think they are wrong. I think that David is living exactly the life he wants to live. I don’t think that he wants anything different. Michelle got some of the things she wants in David but not all of them. She herself has been driven to change her lifestyle since she was young. She wanted someone with a similar drive and that doesn’t seem to be David. Moreover, she doesn’t want a partner that has to change to make her happy; she doesn’t want to change and she isn’t asking anyone else to either. I do think that people are judging her for wanting more. Pia and the folks on AfterParty have called her “superficial.” The “comic” made a statement about how she should let genuine, good hearted, nice guy David go so she can “marry a rich guy and cheat with the pool boy.” I think all those comments miss the mark.
