She stated in her intro video & her time with Kevin that it was something she just started to deal with and IMO clearly needs to continue to do so.  Just the fact that after the beautiful proposal from Kevin she still wanted him to say something “nice” about her speaks volumes.  How much affirmation does she need???  Kevin gave her an “out” to walk away with Mikhel and she still chose Kevin. So why bring up 6 months after the fact that you still have love for someone else?!?! I know that personally would NOT sit well with me, engaged or not.  And I don’t believe if she chose Mikhel she would be any happier right now.  Jasmine still needs to find herself and what she really wants.


It seems that time, distance, insecurities are what may have did them in, only time will tell… 

Again, JMO

That she chose Kevin or that IMO they have struggled and are still having problems or are dunzo. Their relationship was full of chemistry and drama. The fights and poor communication was not going to get better because IMO they may have felt love for each other but their communication and fighting did not bode well for a long distance relationship. IMO jealousy is insidious to relationship longevity. I hope if Jasmine and Kevin are broken up.....that both of them just move on with their lives and find happiness. The ridiculous SM bashing needs to be ignored and both Jasmine and Kevin need to tune it out and move forward. IMO they probably ended things recently. Laurelly did not sound too positive about Kevin on the recent podcast I listened to. Also on the ET (facebook) Kevin telling Jasmine to say something positive about them was very telling....then she talks about their post season fights...and how they have improved...not exactly a ringing endorsement. IMO canceling all the interviews today is not a positive sign of a HEA.
I am on team Jasmine. I think she was a wonderful Bachelorette. If Jasmine has second thoughts or she and Kevin just have run the course of their relationship....no harm..no foul. Relationships come and go..and I still think all parties involved probably learned alot about themselves on the journey.
All JMO

During the FRC there was an interview of Kevin saying that he had given Jasmine an "out"
during their final date.Told her that she could pick Mikhel and he would leave and figure his life out.I took that as him basically putting her on the spot.ie "Tell me now if it's worth me staying (I'm the last man standing) or I walk".Again...putting pressure on her in a very difficult situation and hitting her where her insecurities lie...abandonment!I'm starting to believe she was still unsure of her decision at that time and loved them both almost equally but for different reasons imo...

Did you see Jasmine's Mom at the AFTR ceremony...at the very end,they panned over her and she was stone-faced!...I would put it up here but I'm practically computer illiterate....

Someone earlier had mentioned KW for bachelor.No thanks! Imo...he's not all that great with words.I'm hoping for Mik....but after seeing what Jasmine's going through,he might decline!

AllAboutLove wrote:Kevin wanting to leave reminded me of Shawn B and Sash/F1 (Bette AU S1). However, as far I know, those F1s only wanted to leave one time and then when they decided to stay they were "all in" and no more threats of leaving or anything like that.

Kevin on the other hand seemed to want to leave, go back, leave, go back.... that's a pattern of behavior, IMO, that is not about the show and dealing with the concept of it all, but about more about him and control, IMO, and I could see the same thing playing out post-filming.

At this point, I think the rumours of them breaking up that were posted awhile back were true. Maybe they tried again for the sake of trying and maybe they still are... but IMHO, when someone wants to walk away and leaves or threatens to do so and does this more than once then that's not a relationship built on trust, but one of ego and manipulation.
