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. (In mine too but I just want to see how Jessica responds.) 8 Link to comment

You never have a romantic (or any other type of outside relationship) with a patient - current or former. It's called "dual relationships." You don't date a patient, hire him, make friends with him, etc. I'm assuming the code of ethics for clinical psychologists is the same on this point. 1 3 Link to comment

Claire Voyant February 28, 2019 Share February 28, 2019 I've come to the conclusion with these "experts in marriage experiments" that it's kind of like the blind leading the blind so far. I wouldn't want them advising anyone I know on the merits of the sanctification of holy matrimony when the holy part is ignored completely. Pastor Cal needs to read as well as comprehend the book in order to give spiritual advice to anyone. He is a scary dude and I don't trust him. Dr. Pepper is worthless. Anything to actually avoid real confrontation is her motto. Jessica needs to go far, far away. I have no respect for her what-so-ever. Zero. Zip. Nada. She can take her villain free advice and go pound sand. You can look up Quack in the dictionary and there will be her damn picture, I'll bet! 😕 1 7 Link to comment

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

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".

Even if Jessica gets away with dating Jon on a loophole or technicality there's still the matter of the appearance of impropriety in my opinion. 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

During the Miami season, if I recall correctly, Pastor Cal was trying to say they are few things that are unforgivable in a marriage, and I believe he said that to Sonia, even after Nick had told her bluntly that he wasn't attracted to her. 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.

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 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....... 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

seacliffsal March 5, 2019 Share March 5, 2019 So Luke gages someone's "drinking problem" by whether or not they drink more than he does. That is some arrogance... 1 3 Link to comment

He doesn’t know shit about communication. For example, after the big revelation that he needs to be a bettter communicator, he skips out on the one month anniversary to hang with his friends because he wasn’t sure where he and Kate “left things.” Dude - ask! Plus - wasn’t he the one who got so drunk while out with his friends that he puked and couldn’t get home? He’s an ass. Edited March 5, 2019 by Elizzikra 3 Link to comment

She is reasonably attractive (but has terrible hair!) --and she's charismatic, at least from what cuts the MAFS editors have shown of her. (I suspect she's gotten the "good" edit.) She also seems to have a pretty good job. But, as a (former) nurse myself, one who worked with dialysis patients on a regular basis, I have a pretty good understanding of how demanding Keith's 4-nights per week job really is (it may actually be full-time, if he works10-hr. shifts). Either way, that's hard work ...and you always have to be ready for anything to happen, so it's highly stressful too. Plus, Keith is not only a dialysis tech, he said he's also a student trying to get the education he needs to advance his nursing skills to the Dr. level. And "Queen" Krisitine sometimes acts like he's just a lazy couch potato!! Can't she give the dude a break? I mean, I think it's good that she encourages him to learn to cook. But to demand that he (at least) does "his half" of the cooking?! ...I'm sure Keith is ready to drop from total exhaustion after nights when he works -even if he doesn't have to study or go to school the next morning! So if Kristine throws out an ultimatum to Keith that he's not doing 'his half' of the cooking -- I think she's out of line. Marriage is supposed to be "until death," if you're taking it seriously, and even if Keith took a semester off to do MAFS, he'll soon be burning the candle at both ends again --between working as a tech and studying to get that Doctorate! Is Kristine just one of those TV diva wannabes who found a way to get on TV?! ...Or does she simply not want to wait for a man to improve himself through education?

Is Kristine just one of those TV diva wannabes who found a way to get on TV?! Is Keith in nursing school or is he just doing prereqs right now? Because I question how he can be in nursing school and be able to go on the honeymoon, the date shown on the picture during Stephanie and A.J's anniversary scenes, suggests the weddings were in early September when fall semester would have been underway already. Nursing school is intense, to the point that most tell students flat out they need to devote a lot of time to studying in order to pass the tests. And most nursing schools make the exams hard because they want their students to have a high pass rate for the NCLEX. So I question how Keith can have the time for nursing school, his job, and have time for a new relationship. 2 4 Link to comment

I haven't seen a nursing school that would be okay with a student missing clinicals because the student is getting married and going on a honeymoon. Nope. The joint mini-moon in next week's episode looks like some production-engineered mess to maximize the drama. It almost makes AJ's beef with production seem legitimate. 1 Link to comment
