He didn’t even ASK for it at that point.

All he did was get pissy and walk outta their room when she tried to talk to him about it.

When they get to the check-in, the focus turns on her after he mumbles some “Me and the guys thought it’d be a good time” bullshit. Nevermind the fact that he knows she hates him going to “the streep clopb.” Nevermind the fact that he was literally trying to get an ex-flame to come see him in an environment that solely revolves around pay-for-play sexuality. Nevermind the fact that he’s been inside this chick before.

“Why don’t you forgive him?” they pile on Yara.

WHY DOESN’T HE APOLOGIZE??? How 'bout that?

Why is SHE expected to do all the heavy lifting after he’s the one who violated her trust repeatedly that night?

(omg, i’m way too invested in this stupid show, lol. look at my sloppy writing.)

Whatever. It’s our escape, right? Anyway … how awful was that?

    What really fucked me up is that this mf can’t even go a month without going to a strip club. Go to a couples therapy getaway and he can’t even last a fucking month. Obviously he doesn’t actually care as shown by his actions, his go to nothing happened pisses me off aswell. What!?! Because you couldn’t get ahold of the stripper to stick it in you get a pass for not fucking her? How stupid does he think she is? On what planet does it make sense to apologize to the guy who instead of showing remorse ran away.

    the “therapists” are a joke. if they do more seasons, I’d really like it if the tv therapists were not AS ridiculous as the current ones & if they let the cast members do normal, private therapy sessions alongside filming. anything Jovi says or does this season has me sooo mad lol.

    Yara could do so much better. The series really showed what an empty headed idiot he is, devoid of conscience or empathy. He made it seem like a joke. Even laughed when he said he didn’t know it made her feel bad about herself and that he wouldn’t do it, again.

    Forgiveness is for you. Sure. But, to encourage her to stay? Nope.

    Also why is he so pissed about Ed bringing up his daughter? She’s going to be an adult someday and see her parents on tv and see his stripper obsession eventually

      I think it was partly the messenger. I wouldn’t be able to take Ed and his need for the center of attention seriously if I were already pissed and saw how Ed treated women.

    The therapists on this show are very sub par. It’s hard to find a good therapist, but when you do, it’s life changing!

    All the pressure was on Yara to get over it. I feel so sorry for her!

      I was shocked at what the therapists said to Yara. The therapists were asking her to forgive him for abusing her, IMO.

      When I got out of a women’s domestic violence shelter, I had to go to court to in front of a judge to get a protective order. The only advise I got was from a paralegal who said “Don’t worry, they never show up to contest it.” And while I had extreme anxiety anticipating going to court, the shelter didn’t help me get therapy or meds.

      Well he did show up to court, with his attorney who he had been meeting with continually for the two months while I was in the shelter with my 3 year-old and had no access to an attorney. I had 10 minutes to talk to the DA. Then the judge asked if he wanted a divorce, so they put me on the stand, where I was grilled by his attorney. The judge asked if I wanted to stay in the house, and have him leave, but I was afraid if I continued to “rock the boat,” he would get angrier, so I said no. After that, I just gave in, because I didn’t want to lose my house. So, I returned. The court ordered couples counseling, and it was a husband and wife team. They sided with him, that I needed to adjust myself to accept his behavior.

      We also were ordered by the court, to see a Forensic Psychologist, for child custody, if it came to a divorce. He gave us both of us a number of tests, including an intelligence test (I scored very high and he scored average, the psychologist told me.) Then he grilled me like a investigator in the room with a murderer trying to get them to confess. The court sent over papers that either of us could be an abusive party. As he’s questioning me, the psychologist stops talking suddenly, looks up at me in shock, realizing I was the victim of him, and says: “My God, what did he do to you?!”

    Also, what about the part where he told the camera privately that yes he’d hooked up with the stripper before but when Yara asked he said he hadn’t. Did everyone notice that happened?

    He’s a southern man. Sorry but in my experience, that means he’s an alcoholic chauvinist that does what he wants and will say whatever lie he needs to say to keep the peace and for some reason the therapist is perpetuating that behavior. Why?

    I was abused badly in childhood, especially by my father, and he left as I was entering my teens. The judge forced me into a therapy evaluation that was utter nonsense and that counselor both lied to me and then lied about me to the judge. The judge then pressured me to get my dad to go back to church because that would obviously solve everything and is of course always the kid’s job /s. I’m actually still religious and happily so, but that judge was utterly screwed up in his attitudes. The judge still tried to force me to go on visitation, in spite of my telling him that I was afraid for my safety and my life (with good reason because my father had tried to kill me at least 2 or 3 times with some other instances that I suspect were attempts on my/my mother’s life, but I have less objective proof). Then after me refusing to go on visitation, including “running away” to a friend’s house out of town a few times (my mom did know where I was, but I made all the arrangements) to avoid going and getting beaten or screamed at for hours or days. The courts are seriously fouled up, especially in divorce cases. They don’t want to listen to the victims at all. Frankly counseling isn’t much better in my experience and I’m completely done with the entire profession because it attracts way too many dangerous narcissists and does nothing to prevent them from doing more damage to patients.
