On the other hand, there is no fresher hell than a man who withholds affection and commitment just because he knows she needs it. It is just ridiculous to think that her family would have been so upset about Bryan's "sloppy seconds" comment but, would have been perfectly fine to hear Peter's MOM tell Rachel that her highly superior son may commit to her and have kids with her but, "not necessarily" marry her. WTH?!? I would certainly be interested to hear what the Honorable and Mrs. Lindsay have to say about that in reference to their private schooled, accomplished attorney, middle daughter. My dad would have met him at the door with a shotgun. That comment was disgusting and demeaning.

I feel like this whole SM reaction and demonization of Bryan to prop Peter is some alternate reality where a clearly wonderful, attentive, affectionate man without an iota of bad press from any girl - after 20+ years of dating in Miami (of all places) - who is smooth HALLELUJAH, handsome YESSS INDEED, a GAINFULLY EMPLOYED professional, with his OWN Condo, office, staff and a PHD. If there is something wrong here, pullleeeze help me understand what it is because I swear, I DO NOT Freakin' GET IT! JMO

OK, I'm all better, now. Thank you for listening.
