If that were me I would, at least in that moment, be over the moon. I could convince myself that it was my own defense mechanisms that was eroding my confidence. Now in the weeks that followed I would begin to see the cracks and acknowledge, that my gut was right.  Even when she was introduced tonight she seemed very together and very rehearsed.   She  was in the same position as Becca was and the raw emotion was palpable then. Take responsibility if you  are questioning the engagement- then voice those concerns before accepting the ring.

As for his parents, what they say in private is one thing, in public another. For the sake of their son and his happiness with or without Madison, I think they screwed up big time.

I am not giving Madison a pass here either. You get more with sugar and I think I would have said, I know that we didn’t get off to the best start, but I do love Peter and I know he loves you, so I would like to get to know you and give you a chance to see in me what your son does.  Understandably, she is as good a human being as HA and therefore she is hurt that they drew that line in the sand.  

I really wonder if the producers did a mind game with Peter and insisted he get engaged. That whole engagement and break up seemed very emotionless and rehearsed. They were saying the right words, but without any joy.

As for Peter he should have done what Colton did, walk away and refused to get engaged and sort his feelings out. Wonder if those two  have chatted?

I'm genuinely shocked! Just by Barb's outbursts - nothing else

Also RME at Barb acting like "flying across the world" was such a chore that they had to do. You got a free, all expenses paid trip to Australia, babe!

I understand if Barb had concerns and preferred someone else. But the reasons she's actually listed for treating Madi so appallingly are PETTY and just based in bitterness. That the discussion between Peter AND Madi ended up being 3 hours long, delaying them from arriving. That Madi didn't apologize to them. That Madi didn't say she'd want to get engaged. Again, Barb just has no capacity for empathy to see what was going on in the relationship between Madi and Peter. This could've all been addressed off camera, there was no need to bring it up on National TV, let alone DM strangers to trash the woman your son loves. Attacking Madi on camera and ruining what was a happy moment for her son was disgusting and toxic. Even sadder, I don't even think she cares. I cannot even imagine if Madi's mother had spoken to Peter in the same way how she would feel. Again, Barb just sadly has no empathy. Peter's personality and insecurities make a lot of sense to me now. Whatever happens, he needs to seek distance and support outside of his family unit. All JMO.

Proud is an understatement. I believe in you and support you always Madi Rose!
