Anyone else shocked that Molly went with a 7 rating for her marriage? I was thinking 5 tops!!!
I remember reading somewhere recently that people get into relationships expecting their partner to be a complete package, but expecting themselves to be a work in progress, and that seems to hit very close to home with these couples. Jon and Molly in particular. I can tell just from what she's said in the past that anything Jon does that might be considered boyish or immature is seen as unattractive to her. As much as she's very robotic, I think she just doesn't know how to communicate that effectively to Jon. On Jon's side, I think he goes to humor to cut the tension in awkward situations, which could be seen as immature to Molly, so maybe they just need to grow together a bit. I also feel like the fact that he's still unemployed is a much bigger issue than either of them are letting on to. What is he doing all day if not working?
I'm a bit shocked that so many people dislike Ryan and are just pointing out the bad things with him. It wasn't until this episode when Jackie brought up what was bothering her that he just went on the "offensive defense" and really changed my opinion. It seems like Jackie is trying to tell him that she doesn't like that his overall attitude is one of "me first" instead of us first. Then he goes off on a tangent talking about how he's only been late twice, missing the point entirely. What we have to remember is that we're seeing newly developed relationships, and now that their honeymoon phase has worn off, they are starting to see the cracks that everyone in relationships has to deal with. EDIT - One weird thing about Jackie that I just remembered...Why would you schedule an art outing with a nude model for someone's first time? Maybe she's trying to get him to try new things, but there are better ways to branch out than going that far! She should have done painting with wine or something more fun like that. If she thinks he's going to want to spend more time with her now.....
Jepthe really surprised me last night by running off. I still think they're going to work in the long run, but to react that way in general set off alarms to me.
