Re: Andi Dorfman - Bachelorette 10 - Fan Forum - Discussion

Yup, they are no doubt compatible. Which is why in the initials MM had said that Josh met his match.

[FLChica]

Yes Amberish. But the moving in together was not immediate as the couples lived in other states. So I still say that no other couple was as quick to "shack up" as Josh and Andi. But I do believe as well that they were a real couple.

Jillian and Ed immediately shacked up at their LA safe house until they moved into Ed's place in Chicago.

Anyway, I doubt shacking up for a couple of months has anything to do with Andi and Josh being incompatible and unable to be supportive of each other's choices. My opinion, anyway.

 Many will admire a couple's determination to keep fighting for the relationship - like Byron & Mary, Charlie & fogot her name.  But perhaps it's best to realize sooner rather than later that you are incompatible and unable to be supportive of each other's choices - Andi & Josh, Ben & Courtney, Jake & Vienna.  

Hopefully all involved will learn and grow from the experience.

I just don't think that they were incompatible. I think there were just other issues. As aviej pointed out, MM said that Josh met his match. Andi parents were also very supportive of the relationship and I think that they too felt that Andi found the one, the right person for her. I still think that they are compatible.

The issue is not shacking up but the timing of the shacking up. If it's done too soon before a proper foundation is established it can be a catalyst to the end of a relationship. And, JLilian and Ed didn't last either. So it could have precipitated the end, IMO. Timing is everything IMO.

I agree timing is important, but if a couple is not compatible, it'll never work.

IMO, "meeting his match" isn't necessary a good thing, but doesn't mean it won't work, either.

What I think is the real issue with all couples is that, although they may know how they feel about one another, they don't know each other, at all, once the finale wraps and to get to know each other takes time. I think it is fair to say that Andi and Josh gave the relationship that time to figure things out and really tried to make it work, but it didn't work, in that after all said and done, they learned they weren't compatible.

Even so, what Andi and Josh felt was love, it just proved not to be sustainable love. It wasn't just momentary lust (or insanity) as it has been for some Bachelor show failures, it was real love and a real relationship that just could not survive.

If we believe Andi was honest, and I do, she told us that they didn't compliment each other in a positive way. To me that means, they argued and didn't respect the other's decisions (and maybe even feelings). If true, they did right to break it off and move on.

[AnandaMarie]

I agree that it was real love and a real relationship. I still think that they are compatible though. I guess we have to agree to disagree on this. They pretty much lived with each other for 8 months. I agree that when the show ended, they didn't know each other that well. By the AFR you could see the love and happiness that was still there after they basically lived together for two months. I think that love and happiness grew by the AFR. I'm pretty sure that maybe by September or so, they would have really gotten to know each other. Living together, I'm sure they would have learnt a lot about each other a lot quicker than usual. They still seemed very happy and very much in love at that point. Andi didn't say that they didn't compliment each other. She said that they didn't support each other as much as they should have. I interpreted that as them not supporting each other in terms of the new careers that they were both trying to establish - Andi with her designing and Josh with Advocare. I didn't interpret it to mean arguing and not respecting each others feelings. I think even now, they still respect each others feelings which is why Andi said nothing bad about Josh in the interview and he said nothing bad about her. So I still think that it was real love and that they're compatible. But you're entitled to your opinion too.

[stuckinsc]

This is just my opinion, if a couple is compatible they stay together. These two chose to break up, I think that shows that they didn't have long term compatibility, doesn't change the love they had.

I have to say respectfully, the couple knows themselves and their feelings and wishes more than we do. Since Andi said they weren't good for each other at least right now, that should be respected by all.

If and when they get back together, then that would show compatibility. But for right now both of them have chosen to go their own way without the other, so that should be respected by all.

[Kashathediva]

ITA with the above. 
They know themselves and what they had, tried to have and in the end did not have.

I've noticed Andi hasn't been updating her blog lately, including missing the Friday Five last week. Does anyone know if and how she earns income from her website?

[Ash2214]

^ I do know that in most cases, most owners of blogs/websites get paid because they have advertisements on their pages. People will pay you to have those advertisements on your page and you have to get a certain amount of clicks on your blog/website for those owners of the advertisements to pay you.

I just checked Des' blog and she has advertisements on her website and the same goes for RS. I just checked Andi's and she doesn't have any advertisements at all. If I had to guess, and it's a pretty good guess, Andi doesn't get paid for her website. I think it shows too that she apparently hasn't updated it in a while. If she were getting paid, IMO she would be updating it very frequently so she could get the clicks on her site.

Ananda and I sent a fan email to Andi, and today (yesterday for her) she replied. She is so amazing, I was shaking and I still kinda am.
