Omg I felt the same way reading Jen's post--when she actually said they "lean into each other as earnest as Baby Jesus!" Think about this image for a minute!! Jane, you are the best. |

| In 20 years with my husband, I have never once thought about what other people must think when they see us together, barring that one time where we got into an argument in public. |

| Jen’s need for constant validation and admiration is pathological. |

Jen Hatmaker's thoughts on her upcoming tell-all book about the breakdown of her marriage;
"I feel weirdly disconnected from outcomes or responsibility" What in the Prince Harry "Spare" hell is wrong with her? So many people will be impacted by her words on the page. She ain't worried! |

Jane has probably filled her roommates in on what the book says, if not given them the chance to read drafts or ARCs.
It's old news to everyone but her fangirlies who are eagerly clamoring for tea about someone else's divorce five years later. Trust me, everyone has moved on and if Brando or his new wife are upset or bothered by his ex's delulu rendition of what happened, they've had ample time to prepare for it and I'm sure they'll weather it. This book might have a lukewarm initial rush of oohs and aahs by C listers who have already agreed to support her book, probably without having read it, but it will fizzle into obscurity quickly enough. Even though she's made it abundantly clear that she sold out and doesn't care who it impacts, it is highly unlikely that anything she writes is going to have any kind of real impact on anyone's life. |

| Just went to her Facebook to see what’s going on there. Besides today’s posts, the next three were old posts of her mushing all over her and Brandon being so in love. Coincidence? |

This really is her last gasp of literary relevancy. But a post divorce heroine rises from the ashes is about 3-5 years past its window of opportunity. The Hatmakers just aren’t part of the public discussion anymore. No one cares except a rapidly diminishing rump of Big Sis Bitter Clingers. Also, Jen lacks the depth to write something truly new or fresh on this topic. She’s only with the victim or the hero in her own personal narrative. This is not the stuff of resonate storytelling. It’s not going to sell well. |

Probably wasn't in Trevor's contract. |

| Tyler rarely mentions Jen. How does she not know? Why wouldn’t he post about the Oregon trip? I can only think of one reason. He’s just not into her. I wonder if she begged him to come, looks as if he was only there a day or two. |

I think their situation fits Jen’s basic need just to have a boooyfrieeend regardless of how inattentive and uninvolved he is. And fits Sass’s need of posts of traveling, speaking and book tours (not his posts, hers), his profile raised however little with very little investment except to show up and occasionally do a post with her.
He doesn’t meet her needs or wants, but hangs in there because he gets publicity from her dwindling minions but it’s more than he would have on his own. They’re basically using each other. Don’t know if Jen doesn’t realize it or she knows but is willing to put up with it rather than seen as undesirable and unwanted by a man. |

| Yeah people think Jen is so desperate but being single after being raised Baptist to worship a husband and the marrying Brandon so young and so long, gay long distance bf is actually perfect for her. She gets to have a plus one for socials and still speak the men-dominant language of her gal pals while not having any real obligation. And a lot of her audience is obsessed with her being in a relationship too. Doesn’t matter with who. Only thing that could get her more attention is if Gavin actually let her post regularly with the grand baby. |

| The early reader book reviews she posted are so over the top. |

| As a divorced woman in her late 40s I completely get the need to have someone. It alters how the world sees you. As ridiculous as it sounds, you're not a threat to other women and their marriages if you're coupled up, even in absentia. Despite Jen dramatizing how she lost her 26 year marriage, it is actually not uncommon for couples to get divorced at that stage of life. If you're single, you're assumed to be on the hunt, whether or not that is true, and it has a huge impact on how you're treated in society, even by people in your circle. |

Good night- I have never thought about what restaurant patrons thought of me, unless it had to do with my child or if I was arguing with someone . Jen really thinks people are watching her every move.
Re:newly-single ladies- one of our dear family friends, vivacious gal in her 70s, saw her social invites dry up after her husband passed away. But Jen strikes me as the type who would talk just to your husband about stuff and ignore you. |
