Josh Murray - Amanda Stanton - BIP 3 - Discussion

Josh being passive-aggressive..same sh*t,different day.When this relationship blows up (& it's a WHEN IMO and not an IF), it might truly result in the first non-scripted reality show this franchise has ever produced.

Get ready for another 'fictional' novel in your future Josh.You have provided Amanda enough material to work with already.

Right stacia620?   I cannot comprehend why such an intelligent woman would put him with him for more than a week.  

I know it hurt her, but IMO, she is SO MUCH better off without him.  Duh can have him.  Andi will find someone MUCH better!

IMO, He likes amanda because he can call all the shots and demean and belittle her and she just goes along with it because she's not very intelligent.

No, I wouldn't think so, unless the new parent legally adopts the child.  So unless evil Nick gives up all his rights to them or gives approval for the change to happen, I don't see how they can or how a judge would approve this.   Unless maybe they add on Murray, maybe hyphenate and combine both last names?  But I would still think with the girls being minors, their actual father, not some dude talking about #dadlife would have to be aware and give consent.  But maybe someone more knowledgeable in this can help us out.  

I agree, seems like an attempt to further remove the girls actual father from their lives.  They have a father, who seems to spend plenty of time with them and is active in their lives.  I can't imagine he'd willingly turn over all his rights of the girls to BOR and Duhhh and simply walk away from them.

Honestly, I personally don't see this relationship making it that far, but who knows stranger things have happened.  It well end, very ugly at that, at some point though, IMO.  JMO

Andi is no prize but what do I know.
Back on topic, so, this two are still together. Have they made it past 6months?I tend to be cautious with opinions about this pple's extended families since they didn't sign up for the show. The kids seem happy, look healthy. I am not sure why her parenting skills are being questioned. They look healthy, happy and well loved, shouldn't that be what matters? again, but hey, what do I know.

Josh actually said the girls wants their last names changed. *eyeroll* What an age appropriate thing to discuss with two preschoolers. Good grief.

Honestly, I don't see how andi put up with him for so long. More power to Amanda! She has a LONG life ahead of her...

That was such a bizarre periscope. He "jokingly" called her a piggy again, got in approximately 653 digs at Nick, said he was going to make Amanda keep having babies until she gave him 2 boys, was very adamant that he does NOT love pizza, and was just all around icky and full of himself. How was this guy ever a fan favorite?? IMO.

I'm watching it right now and he's complained about the editing on the show about 50 million times already. Dude get over the pizza. That wasn't even the worst thing about you.

ETA: Ugh this douchebag is still so butthurt about Nick, it's hilarious.

This is crazy. Josh is so, so incredibly unlikeable over periscope and how demeaning he is to the woman he supposedly loves and wants to be with forever and blahblah. Holy $hit. Save yourself and the littles, Duh!!! You can do better! Imo.

Word. She seems so sweet and likable and had nice things to say about everyone and he's just so revolting and bitter about everyone. Barf.

I think it really depends. I know plenty of people who have changed the kids' last names. Although in this case I'm not sure I see Amanda's ex allowing it. But if the girls currently don't have his last name then I doubt he would put up a fight.

I don't get how the girls wouldn't have their dads name right now? He's their dad. He's on the birth certificates, he watches them at 50% of the time while Duh is getting to spend some quality time alone being verbally abused by her man. I don't get how he's anything but a dad, in both name and his responsibilities, and would allow this? Poor girls if they stay together, Josh is going to screw them up so bad: "if you don't want my last name, are we really a family, girls??" Just ugh! Imo.

Okay I just finished watching both Periscopes and I don't know what on earth this very dumb but sweet woman sees in him. There's absolutely nothing likable about him. He complained about the editing and TPTB so much but if anything they actually made him look better than he is because he's just so yucky in real life. He's still very obviously bitter about Nick and there's no doubt in my mind he thinks about him constantly. Someone asked why he didn't whoop Nick's azz and he said he didn't because he wanted to be respectful to his family but if he had known he'd be edited the way he was then he would've whooped his azz. Also I got tired of him praising himself for being so real and telling it like it is while calling everyone else on the show fake and actors.

I seriously can NOT wait for It's Not Okay Part 2: A Fictional Novel based on more fictional stories and egregious lies.
