Concerning his extended family--well, some of them aren't even on speaking terms. I won't go into details as these people weren't part of the show.
Then to say how hard it was because of the kids--please. Yes, they are probably the most precious children on Earth, but a) they aren't his b) he new them less than 6 months.
Sorry cry me a river.

I didn't know his uncle, may he RIP. However, I do feel bad about Sabel. That poor girl put up with a lot. Hope she's frolicking away at that farm we all were told about as kids.

OF COURSE he had to include #respectful. Yes, people in relationships should respect each other, but his fixation on it is so WEIRD. Everything about him screams textbook abuser to me. This need for the women he's in relationships with to 'respect' him but his version of respect is so warped, any dissent or disagreement is a sign of disrespect in his mind. Also in the two relationships he's been in from this show, we know of two incidents of him causing public scenes and embarrassing the woman he's with, where's HIS respect towards them. This guy just continues to be the worst. All JMO.

Josh doesn't want respect, he wants obedience. Calling it respect is just the way that he justifies his behavior to himself and God. IMO.

Given enough time (and access to social media), these contestants will eventually show their true colors (IMO). It's not hard to figure out why he's still single. He may be a nice person in most aspects of his life, but when it comes to relationships, he just doesn't get it and probably never will. All JMO.

@ReneeM I just love for a man to tell me what I should be as a woman. what a pig!
IMO.

He doesn't want obedience, he wants subservience. Don't know whose theories or teachings he follows, but I hope he comes to a realization that it's false and makes a turnaround.

The comments section under that post of his is gold. People are telling him off. He clearly wants a subservient woman who wouldn't talk back or have an opinion.

I didn't think he could get any more gross. Yuck.

JMOAA there is always more potential for grossness.

I find him to be one of the most disgusting people to ever come on this show. He makes my skin crawl.

JMO But I wanted to comment that he actually had that or pretty close to that a couple years ago but decided that wasn't what he wanted.

IMO, the relationship 2 years ago was as much a match made in hell as the one from BIP.  Neither couple was a match that brought out the best side/version of the other.  

But IMO, Josh is going to have to do some soul searching and realize he's as much a part of the problem as the female in the relationship is, meaning it's not always the other persons fault.  He can be wrong, at fault and need to grow and change as well.  Until he realizes that and puts a little distance between Mommy dearest and himself, he won't have a long, last, HEA type relationship.  Not saying MM can't be in his life, but there needs to be boundaries and lines that are set and both have to realize they are needed.

JMOAA
