Marcus Grodd - Lacy Faddoul - Bachelor in Paradise Season 1 - Discussion

Yeah that comes under the umbrella of sheer speculations (which we just love to do here hehe).

Marcus has stated the facts. He has not thrown her under the bus nor has he proposed any reason for this split. Imo of course.

The "why" this whole thing happened is up for speculation. I agree with you guys, she probably was not on the same page as him for a long time in terms of the kind of life she wanted to lead and he sure as hell threw a curve ball.

Totally not surprised at all. These two are so different.
The only thing that surprises me is Marcus had no clue.

I do think him saying that she disappeared on him pretty much is throwing her utb, actually. I'm sure he has an idea that she wasn't happy. I highly doubt she just packed her bags while he thought they were blissfully happy. Jmo.

Once again, sm is right. There is no such thing as "private" couples imo. They're either posting about each other and seen together or they're not.

It is about time that one of them put the relationship rumors to rest. I am not in the least bit surprised....they have seemed over for months and months.  If Marcus had said they were actually married.....that would have shocked me.

Looks like they never even moved in together.

He said he found flirtatious texts on her phone, I'd say that's throwing her under the bus.

So if I remember @chloep originally Marcus joined the Coast Guard, the we heard Marines. So he seemed to be changing and not making a decision. JMO.

I also remember last fall we had pics of him out and about with other women. Nothing says I want to be with you like going out with other people. 

My impression was Marcus screwed up (cheated) and was trying to win her back.

Now he claims she had flirty texts and is just hurt? Sorry he totally threw her under the bus. I hope she just ignores it.

I don't think he cheated. I also don't think she vanished, but it's clear to me that he was sort of lingering without proper closure/a break up, maybe he wanted to work on things and she was sure of it. Idk.

What seems very obvious to me....is that their relationship was more TV than RL.  If you stage a marriage on a TV show but don't move into together in RL...that does not seem like much of a relationship.  I think their relationship has been gasping for air for a long long long time. Maybe TPTB finally gave Marcus the okay to state the obvious.

I thought they lived in Lacy's place after filming?

They lived together until he went to Bootcamp. After that it appears things went downhill.
