Kaitlyn Bristowe - Bachelorette 11 - Discussion

limoncello wrote:It is interesting for me to observe how people cope with relationships differently, to say the least. I am still recovering, half year after my breakup of a one-year relationship. I can't imagine getting into another relationship, healed and open for the other person at this point, let alone after a long term one as hers and Shawn's.

I think she's very OTT with posting all her moments with Jason on SM, it's like she desperately wants everybody to know that she is in a good relationship. I hope they're both genuinely happy.

I think she desperately wants Shawn to know, which leads me to question the whole thing.

If she desperately wants Shawn to know, idk why she didn’t story the heck out of their date last night? I think it’s the opposite, she didn’t think he cared because why would he? And now she’s more reluctant to share.

That's what it seems like. I saw her stories last night and it was obvious she was intentionally keeping Jason out of them imo, even though they were together. I don't think that'll last though, and it shouldn't have to imo.

I think when Shawn and Kaitlyn were together a lot of what she was posting towards the end was her trying to reach him. That’s when he should have cared. She grieved and wallowed for months at the end of the summer, it was painful to watch. And then something changed. She found her spark again and chose to keep her budding relationship with Jason a secret until recently. She’s not posting for Shawn anymore, she’s posting for herself. IMO, Shawn needs to put his big boy pants on and realize she’s too special to just sit there and cry for him. I’m glad she has a Jason in her life now, whatever it is and however long it lasts, it seems very mature and just what she needs.

I do think there was a part of her earlier on that wanted to see Shawn see her with another guy and see her being desired and wanted, but I don't think she ever wanted to cause him pain and I think that's why she's scaling back. I remember Ashley I saying on the podcast "she loves you unconditionally...still" and I believe that.

I wonder if Shawn came back and begged her to take him back I think she might jmo

I think he thought this and counted on it and it was probably true until Jason, so most of sept and all of oct. Now, no way though, which he knows and that’s why he’s pissed off imo.

I actually don't think she would. Imo. I think they (Shawn & Kaitlyn) dragged on for a long time. Imho in the end, he didn't make her feel good about herself, didn't make her feel loved and LIKED. That's a horrible feeling, when in a relationship. Imho Kaitlyn is out of that funk, and wouldn't go back. Imo

(and I wrote this from Imo Kaitlyn's pov, because that's what the question was about. I don't think the relationship made Shawn feel good either, for a while.) Imo.

Maybe I misunderstood and totally misread it but it seemed like they were still “texting” so she could “see tucker” all the time until October. So yeah, I think she hated herself by this point but certainly sounds like she was still sleeping with him, being intimate/alone together, whatever, post-Sept breakup. I think she would have taken him back in that time period.

Then when she was still mourning and all messed up from this cluster, in late Oct, she met J, he told her they can have a bad day together (awww from me )  and I think that’s when any hope of Boothstowe really died.

I didn't realize they have a thread together and I put this also in their individual threads.

It’s Jaitlyn

For those that are interested, they did a radio show for SiriusXM Today show Happy Hour and it’s fantastic. There are other comedians on with them also, so it’s highly entertaining.
