I just checked, Dinwiddie is in the middle of nowhere, FYI they have a food lion

You know, there are other forms of female birth control than the pill.

True, but many are hormonal - except Paraguard.

Brandon is a dumbass. I wonder if he pulls out and thinks that is good enough. Jesus, that kid is not mature enough to have a baby. He needs to move out of Mommy's house.

Condoms are for slut people

Maybe this will prove to the parents that Julia is not a pole-dancing prostitute.

Brandon is an idiot: "Condoms are not as fun"

Think how much fun child support for 18 years is!

I accidentally watched Family Chantel Pillowtalk and sad to say I ended up binging all the Pillow Talks.  I would never watch the show though, that's too much of horrible Karen and stiff jawed Chantel.

[sainte-chapelle]

When you baby a grown man you end up,with a Brandon who is squirming about birth control. Wear a condom asshole

FIFY; the US has more of its share of assholes to claim at the moment without adding Laura.  😁

Mirena. We don’t dance. Especially after the 1st month horror cramps and weight gain.

[Maybeitsme]

So Brandon who is 27 but looks and sounds like a 12 year old and has spent all his money and gone in debt to woo this girl and thinks it's to much responsibility to practice safe sex, okay then. I don't think this is going to work out the way hopes

[Eldemarge]

I hate Dr Teeth's hair.  Do something with it.

[mmecorday]

Jovi's got Mr. Ed teeth.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Jovi engaging in the obligatory deep conversation with his friends.

I keep saying you guys can have her and the Biebs.

[Andi27]

It seems Jovi's friends think as highly of him as we do.

[Gobi]

Is that guy breastfeeding his daughter?

[charmed1]

Why is this weirdo pronouncing the word “America” like she’s Anita in West Side Story?

[Grifter Lives]

(Not Jon Bon) Jovi has a dumb laugh every time someone asks him about marrying Yara.

[Armchair Critic]

I keep thinking of Jacqueline Susann when I hear Yara but that book was Yargo. 

[Leilani]

Jovi is the homely version of Harry Conick Jr.

[sainte-chapelle]

I can’t take any form of hormonal birth control due to a medical issue ( I have had life threatening blood clots...not a Daevsn issue lol) so we went back to condoms. Much easier and less risky.

Why is Jovi’s friends giving him marriage advice when they aren’t married themselves. And Sarah seems like a bitch.

Jovi goes to his friend's house to pick up a TV. One that fell off the back of a truck, no doubt. 

(looks down, checks off "suspicious friend" on Bingo card) Hey, I think I have Bingo!

I’m wondering why he had to buy the land if it’s been in his family. Unless he had to buy out other family members?

 

Yeah probably had to buy them out. I think this is often an issue with farm land. 

[mmecorday]

You know, I was just saying the other day, we need more TV shows that glamorize teenage pregnancy.

Do women use diaghrams anymore? That’s what I used when I was in college.

[greekmom]

Speaking of friends is anyone buying that Brandon met Julia through a friend?

I'm thinking that friend was facebook.

I have a teen daughter, I would be so embarrassed to bring a boyfriend so much younger than me around her. But if you are willing to go on this show I would say you don't have much shame to begin with.

The K-1 visa is actually intended to let a couple get to know each other better on the same soil so they can decide if they want to proceed and get married.

It really isn't. The K-1 was created to give the couples time in which to plan their wedding and their new life. It gives the couple a padding so that they can book a venue, rent an apartment, and generally prepare for their new life. The people on this show act like it's a "getting to know you" period, but that's not the way it was intended to be used, nor is it the way that the majority of us used it. The show portrays it this way simply because it adds an extra layer of drama. Applying for the visa is done with the understanding that you and your partner ALREADY know each other and have spent ample amount of time together. I've spent a fair amount of time helping others with the visa on the Visa Journey website. Many of us had already lived abroad together, dated for many years, and even had children with our partners by the time the visa came along.

The show having the couples wait up until the end of the 90 days isn't realistic, either. Most of us got married quickly because we wanted to go ahead and get started on the permanent residency program. Until this show aired I hadn't met a single couple who waited until the 80th day or whatever to marry. It's much more common to marry within the first 2 weeks. The next part of the application process is expensive and complicated. It's also how our foreign spouse is able to work, too. While you CAN apply for a work permit while you wait, it's a separate (pricey) cost and can take months. You don't have to get a work visa, though. Once you marry and apply for Adjustment of Status you're legally allowed to work after it's approved. It can be a shorter process than waiting for the work visa.

The portrayal of the K-1 visa and how it's used is one of the biggest flaws of the series. For those of us who married using the visa, it's also the most frustrating.

Just as long as that toxic, repellent elf witch Michaela isn't on this season, I am in, though.

I honestly don’t know. It’s weird my doctor never mentioned it as an option. IUDs are high risk for me.
