Alanna wrote:Well Shawn said the same thing and I'm pretty sure he'd go kick some puppies if that had actually happened, so I dunno. I definitely think Nick's sm before snapchat showed a lot of hope that he and Kait still had a chance.

mindless wrote:I believe Nick will be fine, because this time he knows he did everything he could and she still picked the other guy. When Andi broke up with him, she in a way blamed it on him and his over-analyzing, or at the very least painted a very grim picture of their future together. Nick obviously didn't agree that that is how things would turn out, so I'm sure he was left wondering what he did wrong and what he could've done differently to change the outcome. He was blaming himself, he was blaming misunderstandings, when the truth of the matter was that she simply wanted someone else. It was cruel to leave him wondering like that.

This time he knows Kaitlyn a lot better and she knows him. They have fun, they have passion, they have good conversation. There is nothing more he could've done and I'm sure he knows that. Hopefully she also made it clear while breaking up with him that it's not him or their relationship, she's just in love with Shawn. If she did then I don't see why he wouldn't respect that. He should feel proud of himself for giving it his all, even if it didn't end as he hoped.

AllAboutLove wrote:^ Good thing Nick wouldn't kick puppies. And I know that the post is in jest but it is telling to me because that wouldn't even be sarcasm that pertains to Nick. The better man didn't win the show/girl but he is the winner overall, imo.

Also, regarding Nick's post-show behavior, Nick was liking IG pics of women post-filming and before him being on the show was aired. Kaitlyn would have seen that as well since she was following him for those weeks. Nick was out and about and not wallowing in depression. I think he has no interest in being with Kaitlyn which is why I think it is so easy for him to tweet about sex-gate and support her as a friend because he is over it all and just commenting along.

I think Nick is in a much, much healthier place than Kaitlyn is, because Nick can actually talk about it via his SM posts whilst Kaitlyn has her head in the sand. jmo

(and that could be something that can break the "love" or a friendship)
