I wonder if JD still owns this home. The home that he and Abbie used as their address when they registered to vote.

That looks like a much nicer ranch house vs the construction trailer.  I think Abbie was shown making cookies soon after they were married & she was standing at what looked like an island or open counter in a kitchen.  That kitchen looked different than one shown on nail video. * Maybe they or JB is renting out the orig house like someone said a few posts back. 

I'm sure if JD & Abbie  were  asked about why they live in  trailer,  they would say they are so much in love with each other it doesn't matter where they live. (Just gag me.) 

*for all I know, the cookie making segment could have been done at the guest house we assume the Smuggs live in.

[Sew Sumi]

Cookie baking could have also been done at the Pool House before it was put on the market

It seems it was mentioned around the time John and Abbie got engaged that John's ranch house was being rented by the Duggars' sweet friends the Day family.

We have often speculated whether JD was actually living at home until his marriage.

I wonder if he has been living in this trailer for a while.

A trailer in Arkansas, the jokes just write themselves.

I loathe JD about equally with how much I loathe the other Duggars, which is considerably.

But, I'm over snarking on the roof someone puts over their family's head because it's humble, or on wheels, or is manufactured housing vs. built in place.

Living in such a home doesn't mean they are meth dealers or amoral trash, FFS. In the case of JD and Abbie, as with Austin and Joy, it appears to be a choice. Probably a short-term choice. They appear to be in the fortunate position of choosing to live in tight quarters while working up to a nicer place. Joy and Austin just recently moved into their nicer home. That's anything but snarkworthy, IMO.

Oh, I could snark all day on JD's playing law enforcement officer with his homemade "patrol" car, his guns, and his tinfoil badge. He's like Barney Fife for the 21st Century but with an ugly edge. And, on the subject of how he and Abbie are no doubt breeding for Jesus like the good Gothardite folks they were reared to be? Oh, let me at it. 

But, if he and Abbie are living in a "trailer"? Nope. 

ETA: This touched on a sensitive issue for me. Sorry if I went off too strongly in this post. I'm watching the cost of housing (for renters and owners) skyrocket where I live, while wages remain flat. Homelessness isn't just a thing for addicts, grifters, and drifters, and it seems to be an insoluble problem that's getting worse. TBH I can think of many worse places to be than "a trailer in Arkansas."

They're probably living there at Jim Bob's wishes to look after the property.  The interior looks nice and maybe it's less than renting the first house.

Thanks for this!!!  I actually live in a manufactured home (I call it a trailer, from 1972!) that is nice and roomy.  Much better than any apartment in my price range in Santa Barbara.  The low income apartments they are building all over the city?  Cost about $3K for a 2 bedroom.  About $1K more than I pay for 3 bed/2 bath with a yard and no one above or below me.  And it is a pretty location.  So while I wouldn't want to be in a trailer/manufactured home in tornado alley, I am cool with it in a very expensive city.  And I can pay my own bills while being employed by someone other than a relative.  Take that Duggars!  HA!  Sadly there are some staff on our campus that are homeless.  Pay here stinks!!!

Thank you! I grew up in my fair share of trailers in Arkansas and can't knock anyone for living in one anywhere.

There is nothing wrong with trailers. It's just the Duggars.

Well JD learned how to act as a married man from Boob, who always is clutching  Meechelle. It would drive me crazy but maybe fundie women like it. Or just tolerate it since the headship is always right.

Ok, I mean this in a non sexual way but I doubt he has had a chance to touch that many people. No holding hands with his girlfriend when he was 12. No cuddling with the same girl watching T.V.   probably very few hugs from his parents . He is probably ' touch starved ' if that is a word

[galaxychaser]

I think all the Duggar’s are attention/affection starved. It’s really sad. I doubt the parents can even name 3 things each of their offspring likes.  Not even a pet of their own or a friend.

Example: JD loves cheesecake, his favorite color is red and he wants to be a real police officer when he grows up.

OMG all that touching from JD - it would drive me nuts!  I am your average affectionate person and don't mind minimal PDA by Mr. lookeyloo, but, if he kept pawing me all the time I'd have to deck him.  Good grief!  We know you are married.  We know you have had sex. We know your wife is pregnant, assumed by you. She didn't exactly have a zillion suitors (what is the courtship equivalent, courters?) and didn't think she'd ever get married.  I don't think she is going anywhere.  Give it a rest!!!!

[Barb23]

That's what drove me nuts about the marriage retreat episode. Every time they showed the couples together on the couches, each couple seemed to be mawing one another. It's one thing to hold hands or lay your hand on your partner's leg, but I just can't with all their touching. We understand & don't need to see it all the time.

It's all they know. They are the children of 'Mr and Mrs dry humping on the mini golf course.'

No kidding. I can't stand to watch more than a few minutes of any episodes of this show, and that's been true from way back in the 19K&C days. I still remember tuning in to watch an episode which I think was not long after The Sex Pest married Anna. The scene was I think the living room of the TTH - it was furnished with some leather sofas, maybe sectionals. JB and Meech were there, and the Smugs, and I think they were visited by David and Priscilla Waller. Anyway, there were two or three couples there, it seemed to be just an ordinary afternoon, and the Howlers were running around, and OMG! ALL those couples were just ALL OVER each other. It was ridiculous! Lap sitting, hand holding, kissing, pawing. Like, we might not understand that they are FINE CHRISTIAN people, who have been MATCHED UP BY GOD into HOLY MATRIMONY to GLORIFY GOD  in Jesus' name - and they are MADLY IN LOVE. It was gag-worthy. 

I posted about it at the time, which must have been two or three websites ago, lol.

This is what happens when a physically and intellectually normal late-20-something man with the emotional development, sophistication, knowledge of human behavior and interpersonal and sexual experience of a 12-year-old gets married. To someone he was barely allowed to get to know before the wedding, let alone touch much. And the only actual married male role model he's ever had is Jim Bob. 

Pitiful. Luckily, Abby probably doesn't really know much better.

The Bates family does the same thing with 'all the touching'. You hardly EVER see Gil and Kelly without their hands on each other's thigh, handholding, or leaning up against each other in their TH segments. The same goes for their married children. Yes, quite annoying and unnecessary. It must be a 'cult thing'.

[Zahdii]

When I started living with the guy I eventually married, I would insist on him sitting next to me so we could hold hands when we visited his relatives.  I was very insecure and wanted to prove that our relationship was 'real' and not just a temporary thing.  I still remember the day we walked into his aunt and uncle's house and I sat on one end of the couch and he sat on the other.  One of his cousins yelled out "The honeymoon is over!"  Naw, we both liked having an armrest and I'd finally gotten secure enough to not think that we were doomed if we sat apart.  It was kind of a relief.

For the Duggars and the Bates, I think the young couples are similarly insecure, but they have their shows and their most obvious source of income on the line.  Not to mention that they've been programmed to visually demonstrate that their restricted form of finding a spouse is the best way to go.

JD has literally never touched another human -- much less a girl. I think he (and his siblings) are sensory deprived and attention starved. They also, as a group, lack empathy. So JD is desperate for physical affection, doesn't really spend a lot of time thinking about how other people feel, and watched his father paw his mother non-stop for 30 years. She'll be lucky to get a breath of air in this relationship.

On the other hand, I think that having your husband pawing you non-stop is a status symbol in their world -- so a win for Abbie?

Yup I agree. I am NOT a touchy person (it’s actually my last love language), but I can see if you ARE someone who longs for physical affection (even a platonic/friendly variety), growing up in that family would leave you feeling touch deprived. Also he’s a newlywed in the throws of  “new relationship energy”, he and Abbie didn’t know each other very long before they married. So long as Abbie is fine with it (and it looks like she is), I think it is fine and will likely taper off in the next couple of years.

I just thought of what it will be like for poor Abbie in labor. Will JD be able to let her go if she asks?

Or will JD, first responder, sibling to 18, brother of Jill and Jana, deliver their baby because he's an expert?

I wonder if Fundy men hyperventilate when males in the medical field need to examine their wives' lady parts.

My two main love languages are physical touch and quality time (real fun when you are single and not dating any one LOL). But I'm also an introvert and need my alone time to recharge.  I think JD would drive me crazy with the touching and never leaving me alone.   But I look at Jill taking a plate to the bathroom to eat or JD always touching Abbie,  or Jenny's perpetual sadness (those are the three I can think of right off the top of my head, but I know there are more), these kids are now searching for what they didn't have from JB or MEchelle  (OK I know Jenny isn't married, but I worry about what kind of fundie she will end up with).

Those pictures are a combination of creepy and horrible. Abbie's dress is bunched up, JD looks positively rapey, and the glare from the sun makes me want to squint. Not a particularly flattering set of photos. 

[ouinason]

Looks like the bunching is intentional.  Like that elastic stitched bunching that comes on some dresses.  It's not a style I like.

[Fig Newton]

Pic number 3 ----

Please, please tell me that is a crease in his pocket and not an outline of something I hope to never see in relation to a  Duggar male.

Maybe JD just hangs really far to the right..................and it resembles a pencil.🤮😤🤮

[Zella]

If the glare from the sun is supposed to be artsy . . . it is not. 

I am not sure how to embed, but if you click on the link to the photog's page, there is another pic not in this batch in which it appears the sunglare is a spotlight on JD's ass. Keeping it classy! 😂

As shitty as some of Jinger and Jeremy's professional photography was, this somehow makes theirs look like A-list material. 

[Snow Fairy]

I would never say she is 36 weeks, her belly is not big.

There were better pregnancy photos in the family

[laurakaye]

All hands on belly!!  All hands on belly!!  ALL HANDS ON BELLY!!!  

If they stop touching the belly, does it mean we won't know she's pregnant??

Plus the "heart hands" have been DONE and DONE.
