Josh Murray - Bachelorette 10 - BIP - Discussion

Let's remember "she" has her own thread.

He has taken over the mantle for Jake.

@reason your avatar is the face I pull whenever I see/read anything about Josh (side eye all day every day!). Also these two expressions

On another note, she always wanted out of Atlanta and Josh didn't. She must have felt real great that Josh packed up his bags so quickly to head to California to be with Amanda

If she's smart she'll through that charade IMO. I never thought Josh was in love with Amanda and when the spoilers came out that they were engaged IMO I didn't think it was a coincidence that Amanda was the one he went for. Single mom, at that point was pretty popular within the franchise and well liked by the general public, with the appearance of being meek.  The move meant nothing IMO because a) There shouldn't have been any other options IMO considering she has two children that she shares custody with her ex. and b) He was so obviously overcompensating in order to rehabilitate his image from that 'fictional book'. All JMO.

I would like to agree with you ReneeM but he just did an interview that he misses them, is having a hard time getting through his break up with Amanda and he went all the way to LA this weekend, I believe, to meet up with Amanda as they were seen together Friday night.  He also admits that he was part of the fault of the break up.  Doesn't seem to mind that Amanda disses him on SM and doesn't seem to mind that she made out with Wells.  Don't see how you do all that and seem to be trying to have a reconciliation with someone that you're not in love with.   Otherwise, isn't that a lot of wasted time and energy?

Being in the same city as Andi didn't make him want to go anywhere near her after the breakup. So I agree, I think he is missing Amanda. I am also probably one of the few on here that likes Josh and want the best for him. I agree with you all that he has some growing to do but I hope he settles down within himself, gets centered and is able to find happiness, where ever that may be.

IMO, Josh misses the idea of a relationship, having someone to do things with, come home to, slobber on, wipe his greasy hands on, boss around, make snarky comments about, diss them all while doing it out of love and in general have someone to be physical with.  

I'm not sure his idea of what he wants in and out of and how to be in relationship actually match up to what he does in a relationship.  Not saying that anyone is perfect in and at a relationship, but the dude has some serious issues, IMO, and needs to address those and put a little distance between mommy dearest and himself before he'll ever find someone right and be in a long, lasting, happy, relationship.  Again, all IMO.  

I don't think he necessarily loves or wants Amanda. I think he wants the pretty picture and she just filled the blanks at the time.  I think he doesn't like to lose and he didn't get to control the situation and narrative the way he wanted this go round.  Plus, Amanda could give him a ready made family which the last seemed to be putting off.  I think doing the 180 and going for Amanda was as much for redemption as it was to dig at Andi.  And sadly he failed on all accounts, IMO.  Because Andi did not publically melt down nor did he get his redemption edit.

JMOAA

IMO I don't think Josh is capable of even identifying his issues much less working on them. IMO The only way I see him finding happiness in the future is if he gets serious therapy and stops being a narcissistic, controlling, emotionally abusive assh*le.

IMO He was never in love with Amanda. The only reason he is seeking her out now IMO is coz she is his only hope of putting up a happy-couple front for the next few weeks. IMO Where was this love for her when he was posting all the 'single-happy-life' and 'molestation' pics a few days back? Josh only loves Josh IMO. Everyone else in his life is only placed there to make him look good IMO.

All JMO.

@ladybug82 and @coolangel you said so beautifully.

Don't forget that fact (at least IMO) that he always felt he had taken Amanda away from Nick on BIP.... He has never gotten over the fact Andi slept with Nick as well as him.

Josh needs to get it into his head the damn world does not revolves around him.  **edited**  SWNSNBS is also moving on with her life.  The next few months might be hell but he place him self there for be the idiot that he is.  **edited**  Josh needs professional help IMHO and I do hope he gets it soon because he clearly is a mess.

I'd wager that he just wanted to go party with the group to get his name out there and stir up talk about a reconciliation **edited** I really think he 'thinks' that way. imo.
