*Trump does anything*
Jen: “This is an outrage! If you voted for him, there is BLOOD on your hands! And Jesus will never forgive you! How dare you?!?! We demand ACCOUNTABILITY! Impeachment! Arrest! Protest! Resist! This is unacceptable!!!”

*Joe abandons thousands of Americans in Afghanistan and sets women’s rights back 20 years (if any women actually survive)*
Jen: “Let’s not make this political. Click the link in bio to donate.”

Are. These. People. Serious?

She’s as self righteous, hypocritical, arrogant and annoying as the Jerry Fallwells of the world. Can’t stand her brand. Also, my spider senses are telling me she’s going to come out with her “He cheated on me out of nowhere and I cried my eyes out over wine to my tribe but I’m a strong woman and I’ll get through it” post very soon.

I would imagine there is some sort of clause in their divorce that prohibits them from speaking publicly about it. That doesn’t mean one of her friends can’t leak it at the most opportune time…… (My money is on “Jamie the Very Worst Missionary”.)

OMG. She would 100% be the one to do it.

Are they still friends?! Real friends?! What makes you think it would be her?

wonder if "weird shit on the internet" guy is Jamie's ex-husband.

i stumbled upon on of her blogs and she had the same blurb about secrecy vs. privacy and the i am not going to tell you why we divorced routine JUST LIKE JEN DID.

she also said "You would be proud of me" for leaving him. we would all be proud of a person leaving their husband for doing "weird shit on the internet", wouldn't we?

lust a thought.

To be fair, they almost all do that. However, unlike Jen she didn’t go on and on about her divorce and wallow in it. She also moved on very quickly.

Still don’t think “weird stuff on the internet” is Jaimes ex though. Afterall, I think he is still a pastor of some sort and they are still civl and he was around at her son’s funeral. I think he was “just” emotionally/mentally abusive towards her.

Heads up! With the new Texas abortion ban, what’s the over/under on Jen “speaking up for women’s rights/healthcare”? Remember - it’s no longer about what she believes, what the Bible says, or what Jesus would do. It’s all about the fan base, marketing strategy, and social media presence.

Did you guys see the post about her missing Brandon/life with Brandon? Seems so random to post that.

"When you are recovering, new things present themselves to grieve or process or deal with constantly. Maybe you didn't think of it sooner, maybe you hadn't faced it yet, maybe the thing just knew you finally had the emotional bandwidth to go one layer deeper so it rose up.
I have twelve gorgeous 100-year-old pecan trees. They are majestic. I had them all trimmed last week to restore their perfect canopy and give them their next 100 years. I watched through the windows and from the porch all day long, because I am OBSESSED with the before-and-after of tree trimming.
And the thought that wouldn't leave my mind was this: "The only person that knows how much I love tree trimming is Brandon."
It has stayed with me for over a week now. After 26 years of marriage having literally grown up together, he is the keeper of a million little things about me:
How the backs of my hands prickle when I get an adrenaline surge. How I giggle uncontrollably when I am nervous. How I weirdly get goosebumps when I'm too hot. How I love open blinds. My devotion to 90's country, women specifically, Trisha Yearwood especially. How I don't like people to watch me cry during a movie. How I have a telepathic gift to find an obscure lost object by using my weird brain power. How I cannot deal with scary movies. How I like my coffee with horrible Almond Joy Creamer.
So I find myself asking: "Who will know me like this?"
How can you recreate a lifetime of knowing someone and being known? It all feels lost to the abyss, or at any rate, so much to start over with. No one new can ever know all my memories, all my experiences, all the everything...and I can never know theirs.
Starting with someone halfway through your life holds the possibility of doing it all better, wiser, more grounded and true, but it is also sad, because the first half will always just be a retelling, and some of it will be lost. Someone will have to ask how you take your coffee, and that seems like an absurd thing to have to explain at 47.
Second Chancers, how did you navigate this? Did you ever feel like no one could ever know you as well? Did you worry that the missing first half would be insurmountable?"

I actually think that’s quite nice and real

I think so to. Just kinda random. However, now she is seemingly wanting to start dating again but wants her audience/fans/ to find the guy for her. Understandable. Makes me
Wonder if something is up with Brandon and his Texas Barbie.

I do too...I think this deeper, sadder recognition often comes later, these are some of the painful emotional losses that come with ending a long term marriage obviously. And it is deeply sad (and if her ex has any heart at all i would imagine he has these moments too). I give her kudos for being able to both feel it and write about it. It suggests she may have more depth and maturity than we give her credit for.

I thought this was sad and true and brave of her. I'm not always a super fan but this seemed really real to me.
