Juan Pablo Galavis - Nikki Ferrell - Bachelor 18 - Discussion

Nikki spent a year with him and clearly had some good times. I personally thought she always came off as a bit immature. Posting that quote is something my high school self would have done

To be honest, to a certain extent, I get her frustration and the need to post about it. She took a lottttt of heat for standing by him for so long, so I'm sure she just feels really sucky right now.

I just said the same in the fan thread, Emily basically never mentioned or alluded to Jef's existence ever again

Best way to handle it. Excision. Cut it right out of your life. Move on.

I'm so happy this train wreck of a relationship is over. It brought out the worst in both of them.

And as weird as it may be as someone who is a huge fan of Andi, i also really like JP. I genuinely think he's a person that's really kind and easy to get along with. I just don't think he's a good significant other. The premise of the bachelor is to find someone to spend the rest of your life with and I just don't think he's ready or has ever been ready (since the start of the bachelor) for that kind of commitment.

Also the criticism of Andi and Nikki being best friends makes no sense. They can be best friends with each other and still have other people they consider their best friends also. This isn't a new concept to the world.

Emily did post some cryptic quotes and tons of inspirational quotes and a few barbed pictures for a short time after the break up.  She never mentioned Jef directly, but the posts most definitely seemed pointed/aimed at him.  Her posts normally occurred after IG or Twitter went nuts about him hanging out with a new girl or a group of girls.

Yes, Emily got her digs in.

If they are over, then I hope both will move on with grace. I haven't liked the Nikki I have seen on CT, and will be glad for them to not have to suffer to try to make something work that shouldn't.

Good for Nikki, if true JP wasn't worth her time he is a manipulative man IMO, glad you are free.

It may have actually happened during the filming of CT. Episode 8 airs this Wednesday and there's a preview for that episode (but AFAIK you have to load the VH1 App for iPhone to watch it) with Nikki talking to Dr. Jenn where she thinks out loud that the relationship isn't making her happy. Dr. Jenn makes a comment like "Nikki it sounds like you've been spending all this time trying to get him to love you and now that you've stopped trying to make him love you you're questioning if he's the right guy for you". The clip ends there so we don't know what happens next but it sure sounds like it could be a prelude to a breakup. We may only now be hearing about something that actually happened some time ago and perhaps CT was the venue chosen to show it. The instagram message Nikki posted seems to somehow parallel this conversation with Dr. Jenn.

Interesting. Thank you.

The only odd thing about that is that she and JPG went to Bali together after CT filmed. I wouldn't think if you broke up you would want to travel across the world together. If not for that I would agree they could have broken up during the show.

Maybe something happened recently but I do think it has been a long time coming. I am sure more of the story will surface... unfortunately.

I'm sure this is for the best for both of them. I'm not really a fan of his and don't think he ever wanted to make it work. Nikki has her own issues from the sounds of it but at least she has a good career and she will mature. Hopefully she'll stay out of the public eye now that their relationship is over.

Maybe that quote was referring to her friendship with Andi after the rude comment by josh? Are we sure she is unfollowing Jpg on sm?
