I don't want to get into a huge discussion about Kaitlyn's ex, but wow on this article. Exactly what a lot of us were thinking with regards to her behaviour when they were together. Makes me sad that she put up with that for so long which to me totally explains her crazyness during those three years. I did not listen to the podcast yet but it sounds like a good one. Go to the link for the full story.

Kaitlyn Bristowe Says Shawn Booth Almost Dumped Her After Ex Nick Viall Was Named 'The Bachelor'
"When you became the Bachelor, Shawn almost broke up with me and said that you won," Bristowe told Viall. "And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ That hurt me so badly. And he said, ‘That guy won. That’s what he wanted. That’s why he came on the show and he won.’” snipped

"At the end of the day, you have a choice and I chose him and he chose me and then he chose to focus on you," she continued. "It really was hard for him. It was really, really a lingering thing in the relationship. Super unfortunate." snipped

"I think I was made to feel shame, but deep down I wasn’t ashamed," she said. "But that’s why I acted the way I did or that’s why we didn’t talk or that’s why I made little jabs here and there, because I knew he had been so hurt by it and I hated that... I truly, deeply loved him and I wanted to protect him, so it was so hard for me."

@GuardianAngel I listened to the pod this morning and I really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend listening. They have a lot of chemistry and are really fun together. Sometimes I haven't liked Nick as much as I used to but he's really likable here and it reminded me why I was a huge fan of him.

Good article. I was not a fan of Kaitlyn, mainly because how she had treated Nick post show and now I understand why she’d behaved the way she did.

Hurt people hurt people. Her ex was hurt by her relationship with Nick so he hurt her, in turn, she hurt Nick.

Now I am glad she found a confident partner in Jason and they can build each other up, a very important factor in a successful relationship, IMO.

I always felt that Kaitlyn was following Shawn's lead in terms of her attitude towards Nick. She did a 180 on Nick, and he didn't do anything to deserve that other than pursue her as best he could, which is the premise of the show. I was always disgusted with Shawn's attitude towards Nick, especially how he wouldn't call him by name, but just "the other guy." And honestly, I think that's when my dislike of Kaitlyn started, because she just fell in with Shawn's "mean guy" behavior. It was like they teamed up to turn on Nick. I never, ever liked her with Shawn.

I like the new Kaitlyn a whole lot better. Jason is a solid (and IMO much healthier) pick for her. She seems happier and more confident. To me, she even looks better than she has in years -- it's like happiness has given her a glow up. She looks healthy and happy, and like she is in a good place in life.
