If the Ick were a human, it would be Rob. I do not understand why Sophie is with him. He is so mean to her! And the disrespect. Sophie is lovely, beautiful, sweet, smart, and even though Rob’s a dick to her almost all the time, she still treats him kindly.
When he said in tonight’s episode that he hoped Sophie would see she’s got a good guy and he just made a mistake I cringed. Good guy 🤮
Ew, and then the second hand embarrassment when he did his airport dance. Mans looked so proud of himself, he will be riding that high for years.
Why do you think she’s with him?
She is in the early stages of an abusive relationship with someone who is at least behaving exactly like a narcissist. He is lovebombing her every time she makes up her mind to leave in between the bouts of abuse and disrespect. That’s what the romantic hotel night is for and that’s what motivated him to do that dance, it just didn’t work. Intermittent reinforcement makes our happy “in love” hormones skyrocket way more than consistent positive relationships and actually make us addicted to those hormones and the abusive partner who causes them by contrasting increasingly abusive behavior with increasingly rare bouts of lovebombing.
