[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the last paragraph of Jen's recent post about her three years of Tyler...

I just don't think that has actually happened for her yet.

And the preceding lead up about her and Tyler's relationship. Didn't she say that Tyler just thought they were friends and she had to ask "What is this?" and he said he thought they were just friends and had to think about it or something?

And her at her hotel and him texting "Come to me." is not the romantic gesture she thought lol but rather a red flag of his not putting in effort and probably a metaphor of their whole relationship.

Him leaning up against his red car? Was he just standing there? And he didn't pick her up from the airport and met her outside her hotel?

This whole relationship of signs of rewriting and exaggerating and reframing reality to make it fit something that isn't there. Very desperately trying to make everything seem the best and the most this and none of it comes across as very believable.[/quote]

^^All of this. She is fabricating a story that is supposed to sound like the most romantic of movies. But I had the same reaction to his, "Come to me." Who speaks like that?

And she speaks so dismissively of going through all the "building years": "We are enjoying our life together because we aren't exhausted from building one." But the struggles and triumphs that come from building a life together can lead to something so much more rewarding and *real* than whatever it is that she is trying to convince herself that they have.

I don't believe for one second that they are handsy and kissy and lovey. They kissed for 5 minutes while standing on the street? He visibly moves away on live video when she tries to show him affection.

When my husband and I were dating, I got so ill from food poisoning that I was sick both ways (trying to keep it not too gross.) After he helped me get bathed and put into bed, he cleaned up the bathroom and washed the floor and rugs.  THAT is love and care for someone. Not performative buying them an expensive mixer so that you can get clicks and likes.

I don't know exactly what her relationship was like with Brandon. We know that 3 weeks before she filed for divorce, she posted a long ode to their love. But I imagine that if Jen ever found herself sick with tummy trouble, Brandon is much more likely to be the one to mop up her $h!t than Tyler would be.  [/quote]
