| Showed my husband one of Tyler’s videos and he begged me to make it stop. His first response was that Tyler is a gay man. I was curious what he’d say cause he has the best gut instinct. So why the charade? I’ve known other sexually ambivalent never married men in Christendom. But I’ve not seen one so intertwined with the gay community who doesn’t just go for it. I found it interesting how Tyler has a female best friend who he has already established with Jen he’s keeping. That bff has been functioning as his emotional partner for years. He also mentioned his old male roommate got engaged and he struggled emotionally with the situation. This suggests his roommate was more than a flat mate but another emotional partner. Do you think Brandon sees this guy and feels bad for Jen or he’s just relieved she’s got someone so he doesn’t have to feel so guilty about his own romantic bliss? |

Re: Tyler. I've known a lot of people his age and older who are extremely pro-gay, everyone assumes they are gay, but they either don't come out (so technically we don't know) or it takes forever to happen. We don't know how he grew up and if there are still voices of decent in his head that entered in childhood. Re: Brandon. I doubt he is thinking that much about Jen because he has been unhappy for so long. I would suspect he wishes her well, but I doubt he analyzes the relationship with Tyler at all. He's over her. I suspect Jen thinks A LOT about Texas barbie. |

I think she thinks this is forever. And no, it can’t last. They don’t even live in the same city. |

Brandon seems so much happier now. Texas Barbie seems like a sweet, fun, low drama, chill girl with a real job who adores him. He’s got a cool job that allows him to be outdoors and reflect. I’m sure he’s got some regrets and is still putting some pieces of his life back together but I’m happy for him.

This sounds like he is asexual (part of the ace community.) |

She just told us the other day that her dad is the very best person in the world and has not one single fault. |

Well, he has one very big fault… |

Speaking of, can we talk about that Corvette post? I get telling people to 'do the thing' while they still have a chance, but the way she just kind of glossed over 'yeah, my dad is such a tightwad that mom had to save up money for her own couch because he said this one was fine.' Oof. And who knows...her dad has probably done many nice things for her mom since then, but it just struck me as if we are supposed to view him as some sort of loveable rogue who totally deserves this car now after all his sacrifices. |

Isn’t her dad a pastor? So, the “patriarchal system of oppression” ultimately afforded him a Corvette? Is it only ok when Jen says it’s ok?

| Ding ding ding, you are on to something. I’m betting that story about the couch is a family favorite. That time our working mother had to go open a separate checking account to save for a piece of furniture cause dad refused to get a new one. Says a ton about how much her mom’s voice was heard. Jen is like, ha ha isn’t that funny! No actually that is sad. Respect for mom knowing she needed to take matters into her own hands. |

| Btw Jen posted about her dad and uncle owning a ranch with some acreage and building’s etc. because it was their boyhood dream. When a poster commented this was a sign of privilege she got very defensive about how sacrificial her pastor dad had been and he deserved this dream. I’m sure he has been sacrificial and he is more than welcome to have land, cars, whatever, it’s just there’s a sense of denial here. |

Yes, if it benefits her or her family, then it's always OK. If you call her out on her or her family's privilege, she will get extremely defensive and lash out (as will her minions). I remember when she was posting going out with friends to restaurants and having large gatherings in Oct/Nov/Dec 2020 without masks, and it got really ugly and she made a million excuses. Someone else here mentioned the same thing when someone pointed out the wealth and privilege it takes to have a family farm/ranch that her dad/family had. |

| Pastor Dad didn’t think Mom needed new furniture, so Mom went behind his back and opened up a secret bank account to save for the furniture? And Jen sees this as funny and not controlling on Dad’s part and lying on Mom’s part? That’s some disfunction to unpack. |

For me it's not Jen's parents who bug me nor her politics nor her romantic life.
It's 100% her vampire like business model based on exploitation and emotional manipulation of vulnerable woman. There is nothing that can she can do to justify that. |
