Brandon never mentions Jen or their marriage directly. He just shits on it by constantly stating how much happier he is now.

I’m not saying Brandon’s relationship is happy or healthy. Everything can be an illusion. But it can’t be easy for Jen to see Brandon heaping love and security (by marriage) on a gorgeous new woman. While she sits bragging about some dude who straight up neglects her and negs her.


Her vulnerable posts about missing Brandon get a lot of likes and comments—more so than anything else she posts about. One one hand, I think it makes her more relatable to a huge portion of her audience—middle aged women who have experienced similar. There’s a weird space between acknowledging what could have been, or what you dreamed of while also not wanting it back. I get that sadness—it’s more personal and less about the person you’ve lost. On the other hand, I think it’s a calculated PR move. This is the base for her next book. She has to stoke the flames and keep the narrative going.


Maybe I’m too prideful. But no way am I gonna post any hint of missing him while he’s loved up on a new wife. That also has to be so tiresome for Brandon and Barbie. It’s been two years. He’s moved on. You should too, Jen.

This is correct. He cheated, and spent thousands on gambling, and then went to "rehab" but came out and started drinking again and decided he wasn't really an addict, and then left Jen, not the other way around. She was willing to work it out but he didn't want to have this hanging over his head so he moved on. And I don't really believe that this was all about trauma. He has been an attention-seeking douche for decades. At ANC he was the kind of guy looking over your shoulder to see if there is someone more important he should be talking to and trying to be cool all the time. Always spent more money than he should have on clothes and trucks. He's flashy and he could not handle his wife getting the attention he wanted.

I had to laugh at the person who said he's not cosplaying but in a "real" motorcycle gang. Grown men in any kind of a gang are still cosplaying.

Posting the Instagram link to Jen praising Brandon doesn’t lift him up or make him better. It shows that despite most of the narrative here, she was good to him and gave him attention and affection. Of course she was crushed to learn that the guy she was gassing up in the post was living a lie. It’s sad to lose what you thought you have. That’s different than losing what you actually had. There’s some difficult reckoning in the space between feelings and reality.

Final section:

Is this some kind if karmic retaliation? Jen’s lies and shilling and narcissism finally catching up to her?


I don’t like to be so callous. I don’t wish Jen harm so I hope she is just pretending with Tyler and doesn’t actually love him to the depths of her soul.

This is all kind of tragic… it’s true. We haven’t heard about any of her friends in a while.

Spending the entire holidays apart from Tyler with no special shoutouts from him at all.

Jen’s still releasing content and going on talk shows bragging about this relationship.

Jen is like all women in that they want real intimacy and to be cherished and adored, despite what she might say.

Tyler doesn't check any of those boxes. He doesn't highlight her, or talk her up, or even mention her. He doesn't really make an effort, really, not even a half hearted effort at one.

This eventually will become a real issue for her sooner than later.

From Glennon's podcast today about her anorexia. Amanda replied with an analogy (unrelated to JH) but it's as if she's talking about JH

Amanda Doyle: And that happens all the time. Think of the people who have been traumatized by an infidelity, and then they go on and have relationships with people who are emotionally unavailable, so they never have to risk having an intimacy and a breach again. Or make themselves invulnerable to connection. And they’re like, “Look, I have this relationship. I got over that.” But you’re like, “Did you? Because you’re creating a world in which you never actually have to go to that place again.”

You find a man who lives in another state, who won't ever marry you, who tells you he has his own single life that he will keep going. Tyler Merritt is the most unavailable bachelor in Nashville.

Anonymous wrote:Why are we so sure Jen had a tummy tuck? I always assumed her weight loss was stress related. (I lost 20 pounds in three weeks when I had a traumatic breakup and it wasn't even a marriage.) For some people, stress manifests as low-grade constant nausea and a lack of interest in food. It's not unusual for people to either gain or lose a lot of weight when stressed, so do we have a reason to believe she had plastic surgery or was it just a possible answer to rapid weight loss?

Rapid weight loss during divorce is super common. The issues isn’t her weight. It’s that her stomach is tight and weight loss doesn’t stretch your stomach across and give you a flattened stomach. She even admitted she didn’t exercise aside from walks. So losing weight wouldn’t have pulled her stomach tight and her belly button has the classic tuck look bc it’s SHALLOW. with age and time and some weight like she was previously carrying, she’d have a deeper button. That is always tell tell to me when I see a woman post kids in that age bracket w a flattened stomach and perfect button. SURGERY. Lots of those comments in that ig post actually

Bonus question: why was Tyler not along for concert fun?

Bonus bonus question: I just noticed a Texas A&M hat on Tina in Brandon-grams. Did Tina graduate from A&M? Or is she just a fan? Wow. Brandon outdid himself picking a wife who supports ex-wife bitter rival (UT/TAMU) and whose birthday is on ex-anniversary and whose breasts are…well, no comparison.


Jen didn’t go to Texas. She’s a Walmart gear fan who lives in proximity of Austin, that’s all.

IRL Brandon is sweet and a little bit awkward and insecure but he’s very likable. I got the sense he was never really comfortable in his own skin but this was quite a few years ago which might explain the whole biker thing, a guy looking for an new identity.
