Look at how she addresses Kristine regarding Keith’s needs and how she coddled Luke. There is no way in hell anyone should have fed into his bullshit, especially not to the degree Jessica did. Where was her bashing of Luke for saying that he was repulsed by Kate? Didn’t she go in on Molly for being cold to Jon? She pissed me off. I want to see her with Will to ask him why he hasn’t initiated intimacy with Jasmine to see who she says is at fault. I’m 99% sure Jas will be in the wrong in Jessica’s eyes.

You never have a romantic (or any other type of outside relationship) with a patient - current or former. It's called "dual relationships."

The Pastor Cal's and Dr. Peppers and Dr. Jessica's are legion out there and they are little more than manipulative quacks. The fact that they align themselves with an experiment like this, tells me where their priorities are. Their lackadaisical handling of Puke and Kate is sickening.

The truth is that the risk/reward analysis of marriage is just not panning out in the modern era. Marriage means that you will lose a lot of freedom and take on a ton of responsibility, particularly if you have children. Add to this high expectations that your spouse has to be all and everything you need in your life. I say this as someone who has been happily married for well over a decade. 2 Link to comment

I think it is a bigger problem that they keep matching people who want to be married with people who don't. We have seen it several times. Amber and Dave were the perfect illustration of that. She wanted a marriage and he didn't. It wasn't even about her, he just didn't want to be married and it showed. He just didn't like that he was increasingly left out with his friend group as his bros began to get married and have kids. It doesn't help that they keep matching based on drama potential instead of compatibility, They basically limit themselves to one legit match per season the rest are just for "entertainment". But even that isn't working well anymore because the couples are so awkward and it is becoming unwatchable. Edited March 2, 2019 by aphroditewitch 3 Link to comment

It should be especially relevant with a professional in the public eye like she is. But I've long given up on rules being upheld and respected even by professional organizations anymore. People seem to think that rules should be interpreted to serve their personal desires. And it may work for them because it's all who you know or how you are positioned that determines the outcome. Plus it seems like a lot of people these days have drunk the kool-aid about personal desires being more important than keeping up a professional relationship and image. Sorry, I guess I'm more cynical lately due to stuff going on in my local political scene. 2 9 Link to comment
aphroditewitch March 3, 2019 Share March 3, 2019 Dr. Jessica and Jon have been tying themselves in knots making sure that everyone knows that it is not unethical and basically threatening anyone who would consider launching an official complaint. Dr. Jessica went out of her way to make it known that she is not contracted to be a therapist or counselor on the show and should not be viewed as such. I would be surprised if the show got rid of her because she plays into the show's underlying narrative that women are always to blame for relationship failures. Davina in season 2 doesn't like that Sean is a liar but she is blamed for it quite harshly by Dr. Logan. Even though Dr. Logan could not come up with a reason for why it was Davina's fault, she still blamed her. Ashley in season 3 is not attracted to David with the history of a domestic violence arrest, must be her fault so give her a bitch edit. Yet upon review no one can really say what Ashley did that was so terrible other than not be attracted to him. She never said awful things to David, she didn't even tell him that she was not attracted to him, the expert at the time Dr. Joseph Cilona told him and then Ashley is made to feel bad about it. 2 Link to comment

Whatever board oversees her may admit that it's technically not a breach of ethics, but it is well known that such boards can make decisions about this at their discretion based on the specific circumstances. The fact that they are acting defensive and threatening tells me they have reason to worry about what that decision might be. The fact that they have been very open and public about their relationship doesn't help their cause. At the very least I think they should have shown some restraint on that score so as not to give the appearance of impropriety. Her professional ethics do bind her to worrying about what people will think. She can't just say that's their problem and do whatever she wants. That's not how it works. 4 Link to comment

Thank you. Once again another person that "gets it". I made a post similar to this in an episode thread but I think a lot of people didn't agree. I do believe that in cases where the husband is either the bad guy or at the very least far from perfect, the show has mostly attempted to cover up their bad behavior and made the wife look to blame even when she is completely innocent. I rattled off a series of names going back to Season 2 to illustrate my point and both Ashley and Davina were on the list. The show hid Derek's possible illegal drug use and made Heather look like a royal bitch for walking out on him over something as innocuous as "smoking". Most of us suspected it wasn't just cigarettes! It also made Sheila look like a royal shrieking shrew and then it came out that she had every reason to be that upset, but the show was hiding it. The show also tried to make Season 2's Jessica look like the bride from hell and sanitized Ryan's talking heads to make him look like the devoted husband. Then the truth came out after the show was over that she had to get a restraining order against him. Of course this doesn't mean there haven't been women on the show that have looked bad because they were awful, like Sam, but I think the evidence points to the point we are making. In Ashley's case, to be fair, she just didn't interact with David at all. I'm still not sure that was the decent thing to do even if she knew he was a jerk early on. She didn't seem like the most decent person to me either. But I think your point still stands that she was made to look worse than she probably was. One of the only times the woman was clearly awful was Molly, and the show certainly didn't try to hide that fact from the audience. Same with Sam. Edited March 3, 2019 by Yeah No 2 Link to comment

There is enough there for Jon and Jessica to be worried, which is why how public they have been is strange to me. If you are worried about an ethics complaint, then why be all over social media with your relationship. They could have have kept things quiet but chose not to. I also wonder if things between them started much earlier which is why the show was keen to make Molly the bad guy. Molly more than anyone would have had reason to make an official complaint against Dr. Jessica, but if the show discredits Molly publicly with a situation that still doesn't make a lot of sense, then they make it harder for Molly to make that complaint. I would be willing to bet that couples are given the impression that the experts are there in the capacity of therapists. 4 Link to comment

So, Sonia moved back in with Nick. I had a real problem with that entire situation. Not surprisingly Sonia and Nick later split. I don't think Sonia should have ever moved back in with Nick.

Amber and Dave were the perfect illustration of that. She wanted a marriage and he didn't. It wasn't even about her, he just didn't want to be married and it showed. He just didn't like that he was increasingly left out with his friend group as his bros began to get married and have kids. It doesn't help that they keep matching based on drama potential instead of compatibility, They basically limit themselves to one legit match per season the rest are just for "entertainment". But even that isn't working well anymore because the couples are so awkward and it is becoming unwatchable. Ryan from Boston is another example of someone who really didn't want to be married. I don't even know if you can say that Ryan doesn't want to be left out his friend group when he kept running with his friends. I still can't understand why Luke would want to get Married at First Sight. Dave and Ryan may not have acted like they wanted to be married, but at least they were physically attracted to their wives. Edited March 3, 2019 by discoprincessthe2 3 Link to comment

There is enough there for Jon and Jessica to be worried, which is why how public they have been is strange to me. I don't think so - have you seen any of the social media responses to any posts about the two of them? I think the public at large that watches this show is much less appalled than the people on this forum since most comments I've seen have been largely positive and supportive. Frankly, I don't get it. I think she should have been replaced after hooking up with a participant. Besides that, she gives shit advice as evidenced as recently as this season with Keith and Kristine. Also, with Luke on Unfiltered she was the least harsh out of all the experts. Total BS. She gave Mia a total pass last season as well. The one time she was honest was with Molly, and of course now her motives there are suspect given she is with Jon. I still can't believe she didn't tell Keith to step it up and make an effort. He is a grown, college educated man. He can figure it out. She didn't do that at all though. AT ALL!!!!! I am glad Kristine seems capable of standing up for herself because she won't get any help from these dimwits....... 3 Link to comment

I don't think a professional ethics review board cares much about social media comments from supporters when they make decisions about whether there was a violation. If Jon and Jessica are not worried, there would be no reason to make threats, which Jon did on his social media. I disagree about the Molly situation. Something about the whole thing doesn't smell right. The cameras are on them pretty much all the time if they are not at work or sleeping. Then conveniently a night where Jon and Molly go out, none of the shows cameras are there? We get one side of a confrontation. I have a feeling that both Jon and Molly were saying terrible things to each other and the show possibly got at least part of what happened on camera outside of Jon's grainy phone video. Then to top it off the expert who chewed out Molly is now going out with Jon. Yeah, more happened here than any of the people involved and the show are letting on. I think both Jon and Molly were likely terrible but there was a vested interest in making Jon out to be a good guy. I don't trust Jon, there is something creepy about him IMO. But I don't trust anyone who gets rid of their cat or any pet for a tv show relationship. Edited March 4, 2019 by aphroditewitch 4 Link to comment

I agree but my point is more that people on this forum have been more critical than the population in general that watches this show. I don’t think they are worried because they’ve been together for almost 9 months and are not hiding their relationship. Just look at Jon’s recent twitter posts. Maybe he was defensive at first but that was months ago. If there was some professional ramifications for this for Dr. Jessica I would think that would have already happened. I wish the show would have sacked her. I think it stinks and it’s shady as hell, and besides, her input is garbage. I long for the days of Dr. Logan...... 2 Link to comment
silverspoons March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 Did anyone else see Anthony on the Voice tonight? His sister was on and made it on Kelly's team. I guess it is a trend. Evelyn from 90day on American idol and now Anthony's sister on the Voice. 2 1 Link to comment
