Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I think these two are the most (dysfuntionally) codependent couple on the show: she, a severely needy empty shell of a woman--the taker; he, a doormat who measures his selfworth by how much he can please another--the giver. I'm not even sure if they are actually *in love* or that, more so, they are together because they perfectly fulfill each other dependencies.

Which is every time they show her. Whining. Crying. Sniffing back snot. Yuuuck!

I agree, this couple is extremely young and not ready for marriage. Michael cheated but Jacylyn is taking all of the heat for not having the trust she once had in their relationship. Once a partner strays in the relationship, trust completely goes in the toilet. I absolutely know that I could not stay with anyone who would cheat on me but I am also not 23 I am 40 and can take care of myself. I am divorced and have been doing it all on my own with my son who has Autism for 8 years. I think that Jacylyn needs to get out of the relationship now, she is young and still has her head all over the place. I was the same way when I was 23 and marriage was not anything I was considering, I was having my fun with my friends and getting into the whole college life. Jacylyn needs to live her own life and she needs to stop trying to please others, her parents and her fiance. I feel for this girl and I want to see her go her own way and learn to put herself first.

momof2gg24 - Interesting, very interesting!

This couple really caught my attention on today's show.

I guess her mother never taught her that she cannot take credit for her looks, geez, she had nothing to do with it. The only thing Jacylyn can take credit for is hygiene!

She is way to much of a whiney baby for me and her trying to get others to compliment her would drive me nuts.

I know that sounds mean but if you don't know yourself, can't value yourself, or love yourself, you sure as heck can't be there (I mean sincerely be there) for anyone else. I have felt like Jacylyn does and I even got tired of it so I did something about. Better that you kick yourself in the backside than someone else come along and do it to you! Just my opinion.

I really liked Michael when he brought the rose to Jacylyn and give him alot of credit for being so honest with her. Yeah, I know he cheated but we still have to hear about that.

What I tell my two daughters - "Remember, you are only as beautiful as you smell"

This couple did have me in tears today but don't tell anyone.

I don't think she is all that pretty. Sure she's not ugly but she isn't a goddess of any type. Her family must have put her on one heck of a pedastal because I just don't see it.
