Kaitlyn Bristowe - Shawn Booth - Bachelorette 11 - #4 - Discussion

Then they better get some counseling IMO because being the best version of yourself is not being continually drunk, angry or both.

definitely but at the same time i don't think she's drunk continually. She sure talks about it a lot but from what i know its not definitely all the time.

I have no doubt they love each other... and heck, maybe they are even made for each other and totally meant to be. Doesn't mean I have to like them as individuals or a couple. I think they both kind of suck, both individually and as a couple. I don't find them relatable or kind in the slightest.

@dina not to get OT, but since you brought up a Erin, I just wanted to bring up something that I had noticed. I believe Kaitlyn and Shawn were introduced to Erin through Jana Kramer. That is also how they became aquatinted with Lo Vonrumpf (the stylist @stylelvr). anyway, if anyone has kept up with Jana Kramer(country singer/ actress/ horrible dancer on DWTS) she had a rough year publicity wise with her husband cheating on her, and then a close friend supposedly went to US weekly and revealed all the details about their split. Shortly after, Jana did an interview and said she was no longer friends with that person for selling her out. She had unfollowed Lo on Instagram and then a few weeks later she unfollowed Kaitlyn as well. Idk if Kaitlyn had anything to do with that situation or maybe it was about something else but I thought the timing was just suspicious given the amount of time over the past year the had spent together.

Yup, Kaitlyn is supportive alright. Supportive of that glass of wine she carries around all the time and especially in the morning at Shawn's CityStrong events.

Well, it may not be all the time...she has to sleep occasionally.

I get that they are supportive of one another in some ways, but they also seem to bring out the worst of each other in others. Shawn seems to kowtow to Kaitlyn to keep the peace and she just seems to be imploding slowly. IMO it seems like an enabling type of relationship that will eventually be totally destroyed by her drinking unless she realises she needs help and goes and seeks it out. Others have mentioned this, but Byron/Mary and Charlie/Sara come to mind. It took 4-5 years for those relationships to tank and it could take as long or longer for these two.

People who are enablers always fall back on the old "I'm very supportive or her/him" theory. It's a very slippery slope. JMOAA

Yea, i know and i have to say it was lo and someone else who told US magazine. Kaitlyn actually supported her during DWTS but i think because kaitlyn is still friend with lo, she deleted her as well. Kaitlyn is still friend with jennifer and erin (both are jana's close friends).
If you remember jana also asked kaitlyn to support her for the whole domestic abuse and they were OK. She deleted her after the whole CMAs.

I think its very very important in a relationship to have a supportive partner.

@dina yea the domestic abuse awareness posts were after Jana had publicly said her and that person were no longer friends so that's why I figured it was Lo since he was her Man of honor in her wedding and he styled her for years and then she deleted him but then when she unfollowed Kaitlyn shortly after asking her to spread awareness for the domestic abuse I wasn't sure if maybe it was related to the incident. I just thought the whole situation was weird.

The glass of wine is more of an entertainment during the work out. Its not like she is just sitting there drinking wine the whole work out.
They wanted to make it unique and say its not a hard core work out but more of fun session. I heard it from people who actually attended the work out. I think the problem with kaitlyn is how much of BS she shares on social media.

@dina I'm not saying being supportive is not important in a relationship. I think you know that, too. I'm saying the girl needs help, imo and if he has her best interest he will encourage her to seek it rather than deny. There are appropriate and inappropriate times to imbibe. IMO she has lost that balance and judgement.
