Typo on People’s part. It’s correct later in the article.

Sure. Why wouldn’t it be? It advances the relationship and it’s very vulnerable to say it first.

I do know, as an earth sign.

Yikes - if he works second shift and Michelle works standard business hours, they didn’t have a chance to get to know each other. He works 3-11 and she’s in bed when he gets home, and she likely gets up and goes to work while he’s still sleeping.

Yep, Gregory in particular is a really good communicator. So often I think “just ask,” and he always just asks. This was my interpretation too. I know the show is filmed in advance of current events but I REALLY hope they can work the Eagles winning the Super Bowl in somehow. Sheryl and Quinta were HYPE after the win.

Clutter. I don’t need texts from that guy I went out with twice two years ago (I don’t even store those as contacts), or my medical provider confirming appointments that have already happened, or the car salesman I met at that dealership that one time for that test drive but I didn’t buy the car, or notifications from my building’s package service telling me about packages I’ve already picked up, or “happy holidays” texts from, like, my insurance guy. I just see no reason to keep them, particularly for stuff that’s already happened. Like, the appointment is over, I have a record of it in the patient portal, I don’t need the text. Exactly.

I delete them manually because I don’t want to lose the ones from my late father. Before he passed, I had them set to auto-delete after a year. I’d find it more odd for someone to keep every text message ever. (I’m pretty quick to delete messages and contacts from men I’m no longer involved with, once we stop seeing each other.)

I would not be interested in living with a couple and their infant, as a young single person. I’d have a hard enough time with the baby there half the time.

It’s also further evidence that she doesn’t respect him or their relationship. Your new interest basically breaking up with your husband for you is nasty work.

Dr. Pia is a new mom. Congrats!

Yeah, it’s like that one who got caught on a dating app a week before decision day. He and his wife (I forget their names but she had bright red hair) weren’t a match and they were clearly going to part ways, and him getting on an app after decision day would have been fine. But as she said when she confronted him, you couldn’t wait a week? Madison and Allen and David and Michelle were already going to split, and the kinder thing to do would have been for one of them to speak their truth to the other privately (I feel so bad for Allen having to go through this on TV), and then start something up. Michelle would be on social media talking about “I knew it!” but it would be easier to ignore that. David opened this can of worms with the texting. I laughed at Tom’s “I’m too old for this shit.” I’m also not sure if Juan and Emem’s comments to Allen were helpful. They were stressing that he’d get through it, but it had JUST happened. He’s allowed to wallow a little bit. I think I’d have gone with “you’re right, this sucks” and a hug if he was open to it.

I don’t like Michelle but “do you need anything else from me?” with that “and?” look was hilarious. I’m here for Dr. Pia saying she’s not interested in pretending “this isn’t what it is” next episode, and I also hope Michelle curses Madison out. That “you want to start shit or have a conversation?” defensive posture Madison came in with is a bad look when she just admitted to inappropriate behavior with Michelle’s husband, when she herself is also married. Madison and David are the villains in this story and I hope people other than Michelle and Allen call them on it.

“Fuck her and fuck you.” I know that’s right, Allen. He didn’t deserve this. He probably feels humiliated.

Calvin’s Fred Sanford walk made me laugh out loud. There’s been some good physical comedy on the show lately.

I did, and they could use some whitening. But if he likes them and they’re healthy (bad teeth can lead to other health problems), so what? Also dental work is really expensive, so unless Madison plans to pay for it, she needs to shut up. It’s pretty insulting the way she finds new ways to tell him she’s not attracted to him each episode. … He was cute though. 😂 Yeah, to me this is a “they all suck.” Michelle for treating him like shit, David for not formally ending the façade and doing whatever with Madison, if that’s what happened, and Madison for doing whatever with David. Allen’s the only innocent party. Ikechi is a fucking clown.

Yes. There was a documentary called “Nursery University” set in NYC that looked at this. My friends with kids all started looking at day cares really early (like, while pregnant) because the good ones have so few openings. Also Tina kicking down the door. Tichina Arnold really is such a great comedic actress. Has been for decades.

And EMTs make surprisingly little.

Kaleigh is so dumb. No sympathy anymore. He told you what it was TWICE. Jakeema’s still not on the visitor’s list. Ugh. Her poor kids.

I think it’s her apartment building’s pool.

Ugh. Marriage? She’s SO DUMB

Just for a visit. She needs to move though. She’s dumb.

Kate is too old for this revenge shit. The best revenge is breaking up with him and not speaking to him again.

I feel like my mother - “that’s what you’re wearing?”

I mean, there’s no reason to toss your sex toy.

I’m embarrassed for her. I felt bad, but her picking it back up afterward is cringe.
