I don't even know what to say about Ryan. I initially thought they were a lock for remaining together. Now I am not so sure. He has shown himself time and time again to be nothing but selfish. If I heard him correctly the evening the 3 men met with Pastor Cal, he went to work, then went out with the guys after work to unwind, then met with Pastor Cal, then came home to find Jackie sick and then decided it would be a good idea to go out yet again with the guys to clear his head or whatever nonsense he was spouting? He doesn't want to change or give an inch. I call baloney on his excuse that he is holding back b/c he is afraid that Jackie will one day decide to up and move and leave him alone with any children they may have. Projecting much? All she said was that she had a Gypsy soul. When he did finally speak to her about it, she said well yes, she does like to travel but that's why she wants to make sure they get a lot of traveling done before children come. Crisis solved. Ryan does not how to communicate at all. I'm wondering if he has a drinking problem. He goes out a lot after work and he ain't drinking diet Cokes, that's for sure. Plus, I notice at meal times at home he is drinking beer. Now, I know that is not unusual for a segment of the population but as I am married to a non-drinker and I am barely what one would call a social drinker, I find it odd that he is always drinking. Plus, whenever they are having a discussion he always looks like he is looking right through her and his eyes are glazed over. I don't feel he 'listens' at all. He is quick to jump to the defensive at the least bit of criticism from Jackie. And IMO she wasn't even criticizing. She truly wanted to know if there was room in their marriage for her. She was fine with giving him some slack but it seems as if he just doesn't want to spend any time alone with her at all. He wants his life to remain exactly the same and doesn't want to give an inch. All that posturing with Pastor Cal was silly "I have never been submissive, blah blah blah."
I have done a complete turnaround and Shawniece is my favorite. She puts a smile on my face. Their segment when they were sitting on their front steps talking about their future was the best part of the episode for me.
Still not sold that Molly is all in. She said she would try to be more affectionate and Jon got a little birthday kiss! He seemed pleased with his gift certificate to his favorite store and he was looking at her with such 'love' when she was exiting the trapeze. He definitely is smitten with her but looks fade. They do seem to get along and he is a nice looking man imo, so I don't quite understand why she is not attracted to him.
