The Miles/Karen thing

Karen wants an out she got it. He didn't cross a line. He was joking. She can never really banter. Just roll with it.

With the questions Miles was asking, you don't have to give a vulgar answer. His questions weren't out of line. 

You can say you like sexy music. Romance first. Feeling comfortable with my partner. Whatever. Also, just point out that these things will come in time.

The writing the sex thing. She could have had a sly comeback like it ain't never gonna happen if you write it up there. Or something to jokingly have fun with it because that's all he was doing.

On Unfiltered, Henry said if Christina wants a kiss, she needs to tone it down. When she toned it down while they were playing golf, he said she was patient. If Christina would have kissed Henry on the golf course, he might have been receptive. 

If Olivia and Amani remain friends post MAFS, hopefully Woody and Amani invite her to game night and Olivia meets a guy that is better for her than Brett. 

Miles was right. Grocery shopping can be a date. He should have pursued some of that conversation off-camera.

I wonder what Miles/Olivia, Christina/Brett, and Henry/Karen couplings would have looked like.  

I think both Henry and Karen are coming from a place of being totally not attracted to their spouse...at all. Again, this does not mean their spouses are not attractive, just that they are not into them.

When this happens the other spouse has to almost dig themselves out of a hole. Where if you are very attracted to a person, you almost temporarily put them on a pedestal and they sort of have to "come down" for you not to like them. Both can happen since attraction often has no rhyme or reason, but chemistry is a powerful force.

Karen seems to treat Miles like a little brother. His naturally sweet and open nature is actually a bit of a turn off to her. When he came barreling at her like a puppy dog in bed...I was like no, Miles. It is not right, but she is reading this as needy and weak. If he toned it down a notch, she would really open up to him. Again, it is not right but Karen has some preconceived notions of manliness and Miles, as great as he acts, is just not fitting the bill.

On a shallow note, we all talk about how pretty Karen is...her friend, Felicia, from last episode was also quite stunning.

Henry, also has some preconceived notions of femininity, but he probably would not word it that way. He probably likes women like the petite/pretty brunette gal that is his close friend. Christina is does not fit that bill and she totally turned him off with her annoyed and impatient attitude. I do not think she really has a chance to turn it around at this point, but we shall see.

I agree with this! She could have ended the conversation earlier than it ended by either bantering or saying "can we talk about this later, over wine on the couch?" or ANYTHING other than acting like he was being inappropriate by even talking about having <whispering> s e x (gasp!) with his wife. He tried many different openings, to which she could have responded "I'm still not there yet, and I'm not sure what it's going to take, but I hear you" and he would have accepted it. He wanted to be on the record that sex with his wife is a goal of his.... she wanted to be sure that he knew that even talking about it was verboten. She got her out, but she's been looking for it to be sure.

I'm no more a fan of ChristinA than anyone else is, but I think her nose in the air move is an attempt to hide her double chin that she gets when she moves normally. It really shows up at the oddest times. Also, I've been on a half dozen ADD meds in my 30+ years of taking them, and going off them may change my patience and attitude, but it shows up in ALL things I do (meltdowns while housecleaning, chaos in the kitchen, shaving one leg and forgetting to do the other 😁 and, well, everything) so people know I'm "off" but maybe aren't sure how. But it's pretty much across the board, not just being a bitch to one person. Oh, wait, I forgot about how she treated production! Her friends would notice a difference, though, and hopefully question her about it. I prefer the stigma to being on meds over the reputation of being a flake. Her mileage may vary.

Who else wants to start a GoFundMe for Socks for Bennett and Amelia? 😎

I am very ignorant about ADD medication. I did have a very smart and kind friend in college who went on antidepressants.  He gained quite a bit of weight with the medicine.  He came off it and it was not pretty.

I wonder if the ADD medications caused her to gain weight and that is why she went off them before appearing on TV? Her mother being unsupportive probably did not help.
