      She dirty. Period. If a man told you he got HIV you’re going to let him get his point across of how he still can have sex and not transmit the disease to you? You’re going to hear him out and take his consideration 😂. A blind women with one leg is better than a dirty woman. It gives men the Ick!! 🤮

    As an adult diagnosed ADHDer who had depression as a result, I found the episode w Alex's apartment somewhat comforting. I don't know her reasons, but seeing such a raw view of what a disorganised life could be like was a bit affirming. I live(d) with a lot of shame and I can't fully express what this series did for me and undoing my shame, regardless of online judgment thrown at her. My *almost daily mantra (cause I can never be consistent w anything) is "being messy/untidy is morally neutral. You're trying your best & that's all that matters".

      @ men and women come with red flags. I saw red flags in many of the women too, it is not a gender thing it is a personality thing. Most people get with the wrong person because they ignore things that show who the person is and think they will be able to change them.

    It’s Not Hard To Believe Alex When You Can Spot A Manipulative Man Masking As A Good Guy.. Tim Was Antagonizing & Didn’t Know How To Take A Step Back & Recognize How He Was Selfishly Affecting Someone He Supposedly Loved & Wanted.. Examples We Saw Of This: Barking When Asked To Stop, Getting The Ugly Hat, Making It About Him When She Just Needed Rest Or Space.. She Was Annoyed, & He Wanted To Paint A Picture That She Was The Black Woman With An Attitude Problem Without Really Getting To The Root Of How She Was Feeling.. I Would’ve Had My Guard Up With Him Too.. I Can Go On But I’ll Leave It There..
    Side Note: As A Avid Listener To Podcasts, The OVER-TALKING Each Other Is Annoying.. But Please Don’t Take That As Tim Would’ve Taken It 😂

      It doesn’t mean she never wanted to talk about it, but in that moment she was overwhelmed and needed space. Even admitting she misses her family probably was too much and may have opened a door to more questions.

    Alex mentions missing family/dad, which is very understanding, but the man she said yes to be engaged with was also to become FAMILY! What was difficult at that moment to say i miss my dad, let's talk about it later? Could have been the best solution to a successful engagement and eventually marriage.

      It’s called being human, and it’s so easy to be an outsider looking in giving notes in someone’s reaction when you cannot even imagine what she was feeling in the moment.
      And saying yes to someone is also giving grace to that person, which Tim sorely lacked and the situation just kept escalating.

    Everyone commenting defending Alex and her mental health, and her parents illness, when Tim loss his sister months before filming! Yall would NEVER give him the same grace. Alex knew this! What does she do….. ask for space instead of taking that moment of worrying about her parents to actually bond with him on the principal of understanding he is in grief too! Immature AF. And detached while trying to build a partnership/marriage? Red flag! She wasn’t ready to be a wife as much as Tim wasn’t ready! Then she tells the story of calling him a little B with the SAME ENERGY she had when she said he a year ago! That’s why he got pissed all over. She didn’t retell the story with ANY REMORSE. She had no growth! Yall really need to stop projecting and stop being so bias! Look at situations with balance! Instead of expressing your frustrations on past ppl you’ve dated to gwr your verbal revenge! It’s actually a sad look in these comments. I smell the bitterness! Heal!

    • @LawFirmMentor
      @LawFirmMentor 2 місяці тому +11

      Or perhaps, rather than assume what would be expected, he should communicate: “When I do …, I feel my partner should … in return”.
      People have different strengths and weaknesses. For ALLLLL that emotional labor Alex performed, listening to this long-winded, emotionally needy man, Tim performed ALLLL that physical labor cooking and cleaning. BOTH contributed - but not necessarily in ways the other needed.
      Ideally, if they had dated over time, Tim could have expressed his need for more physical contribution and Alex could have expressed her need for more emotional support. If both had been open to listen and give to the other what they needed, this may have worked.
      Unfortunately, women are just expected to cater to men. So people saw Tim’s need for emotional support as her obligation and cleaning as her “role”. His failure to allow space for her emotional needs? Not an issue. He’s the man, after all.
      It’s sad because they both had beauty inside and out and room to grow, but the internet picks a villain and runs with it. (Not saying your comment did that, but just in general.)

      @ I frankly think Alex is depressed. Seeing her home, hearing her describe two parents with MS, etc.
      I am not saying she should have no responsibility for housework. I’m saying this is a common complaint women have - that after they cook a big meal, the man doesn’t volunteer to do the dishes. When the genders are reversed, there’s outrage. But in every situation, partners must communicate their needs, expectations and desires. If partners “SHOULD” each other to death, negative feelings rise.

      ​@@LawFirmMentor I didn't like when she asked Tim If he was fixing a plate for her family. If he did all the groceries and cooking the least she could do was plate food for her family. Also why pick up a bar tending shift on the night Tims family were coming? Especially as she said that was the only time during the show she did that. That act showed she didn't prioritize his family's visit especially given how he went all out for hers. That was the bare minimum. Now Tim may have his issues but those 2 things when raised would be an issue.

At some point, a text conversation must end at that one seemed natural to me. The minute he brought that up I was like “so he’s been the problem this whole time.”

      Tim: yea but I have to speak
      Alex: I gotta work. I'm tired.
      Tim: And?
      She protected him while he never protected her. She allowed the narrative for a whole year and people still out here saying she put hands on him, even after everyone including Tim tell y'all she did not, and she needs to communicate. From what we saw and from what everyone, including Tim agree on, is that she did, he was informed, she expressed herself. He played in her father's face while being informed. He was fake. Should he have left after the argument? Yes. Should she have left after he did that to her father? Yes. Hindsight is 20-20. But there is no grace given to black women. Y'all expect them to work, clean, look after her parents, protect her man, and be 100% constantly. Her house was a mess, could she do better? Yes. Could she have helped with the dishes? Yes. Non of that is EQUAL to what Time Tim was on. She could improve those things. However I wonder if Tim would wash the dishes after he worked 2 jobs and she cooked all day for the family. Hmmm. It's really insane. Also he grilled for a couple hours. People acting like he was slaving away in the kitchen gutting and cleaning a whole chicken, pot of rice, macaroni, slaw, salad like STOP IT.

    Judging simply as an observer… I believe Tim was actually looking for a wife as a priority, not a byproduct. I also perceive that although Alex was looking to get chosen on the show… she was ill equipped to even be a wife. At least from a traditional standpoint. Nothing in her character was giving WIFE. Partner… maybe, to be fair. I also see that she was more than ok with the added incentives that came with being on TV which leads me to believe she was doing this experiment primarily for the clout and social media fame/exposure. This is just my opinion as a married man observing a heavily edited Netflix show.
