Katie Morton & Chris Bukowski - Bachelor in Paradise 6 - Discussion

chrisjbukowski Love is tough. Love is beautiful. Most importantly love is patient. Sometimes you need a shock to the system to put a fire under your azz. What I felt then I feel even more now. I love you @katieemo and can’t wait to feed you pizza for the rest of our lives. #BachelorInParadise

katieemo As you’ve seen..It’s been the furthest from easy. From the decision to take the leap onto the beach, navigating what was real and staying true to myself, and my world that spun out afterward. None of it has been a walk in the park. BUT I’ve learned, a lot. More than some people will learn in 10 years. I’ve learned to be more direct, how to challenge myself and others, I’ve learned that I’m empathetic to a fault, that love languages are so important to understanding others, that self sabotage can be found in many forms, and BOY have I learned what patience looks like. But most of all, I’ve learned that happiness isn’t something to look for in your partner. Your partner can make you laugh but your partner is not responsible for your happiness. Happiness is found within and sharing that with each other is what lights up a room! Communication is the link to everything, which is something we sure did LACK in paradise and shortly after. It took us a few months to really get our bearings (especially with some exceptional and unexpected challenges). I know none of you will truly understand why things are the way they are but I ask that you trust me and support me as I navigate this new world of mine. Because I’m happy with me and we are finally happy with us. We have grown so much in our friendship and now in our relationship since that day. Like I said to both of our parents and I will say to you- I can’t promise you this relationship will be perfect (it won’t be/ it isn’t) and I can’t promise we will last forever. Honestly, some relationships don’t last after 20 years and some do, that’s life. But what I can promise you is that I take this seriously, won’t lose myself, I will always try my best, I will always keep it real, and we will have each other’s backs. Thank you for following us through this journey of hope, faith, and love and all of the next phases of life and more importantly - love cheers to an effing INSANE adventure

The bold items are what I feel they were lacking. Her love language and his love language are different. Hers is words of affirmation, not sure about him. But evidently he wasn't giving her the words she needed. The communication part comes in because once she communicated to him in a manner he understood, he knew words were what she needed and hopefully he communicated to her what he needs so that she gives to him as well.

I remain hopeful for these 2 and their future.

I prefer Katie's ring over Hannah's. It's got some bling but not too much. I just don't like diamonds all the way around the band. Stopping part way down like Katie's is more to my taste.

I may be in the minority but IMO they are one of the realist couples I've seen on this show for a while.  They were vulnerable and did not paint a false, pretty picture like so many have done in the past.

Still not too sure about her blindsiding him on ATFR and taking off her engagement ring but it seemed to "shock" him into realizing if he did not start making an effort, he would lose her.

With the love and support of each other, their families and friends I believe they have a shot and wish them nothing but the best.

I agree with this 100%.

@bluwavz Was wondering what the rings looked like. Agree that Katie's most reflects my style.

Enjoyed reading all your thoughts on these two. I hope they make it but it's going to take lots of communication. I hope they'll consider couples therapy. Katie is absolutely stunningly beautiful but I know nothing about her - education, where she was raised, what she does for work. I do know she has narcolepsy - thanks to a People article!

The 2 couples will appear on Strahan Keke & Sara today (along with Ashley and Jared). I will have to watch it on YouTube later since I have a vet appointment when it airs.

I've been seeing various behind the scenes stuff on their IG stories this morning.
