I haven't checked in regularly for almost a year (like when those first photos of Tensleigh dropped) and it seems that everything with Jen is still... the same? But different? But more or less the same? It's kind of appalling how stagnant her existence is.
For years, I've lurked almost obsessively and semi-participated because I couldn't keep a steady job and Jen was the cautionary symbol I looked to when I got super lazy during prolonged periods of unemployment and indulging in excessive navel gazing. But a couple years ago I finally got a steady job and, while I'm not really a better person or anything, it has forced me to change in a lot of ways. I'm definitely projecting something onto how I view Jen, but it's kind of a pity that she has never and probably will never be forced to do an honest day's work in a legit professional environment with real stakes and consequences for others.
Plus, my company recently relocated and organizing and setting up my brand new cubicle has actually been one of the highlights of the job. I'd watched her play Business Lady with her planners, pens, notebooks, etc. for years. Jen would have a blast cluttering up her workspace with tons of tchotchkes and playing with office supplies that actually get used. She just seems really suited for a mindless admin job that provides a lot of busy work with low expectations of her. For someone who had so much and was given everything, she's really missed out. -

I'm two, maybe three, thread behind because I got a haircut the other day and my stylist suggested that I change my part so... I did and have had to take some time to be gentle with myself as I embark on the journey where my right eye is no longer caged by the forelocks. -
.I don't know about that. Didn't she say they typically went to bed at the same time? Bath or no bath - wouldn't have made a difference.
I think it meant they went upstairs together. Her various routines took close to 20 minutes each night. I’m sure he didn’t sit on the edge of the tub to watch, lol.
And she definitely stopped going to bed at the same time once the kids were born.
Didn't she once claim that Don would take a bath after her in her old dirty bathwater...
Of all the lies to tell, this one was truly baffling. -
.
She would put her running shoes on her kitchen counter, do her makeup sitting on a hotel floor with everything spread all around her... Jen is not just messy, she's filthy. -
.
The one thing I'm certain about regarding these strangers' lives is no matter what problems arise between him and Jen, the blended family, potentially with Tens down the road, Don's solution will always be to throw money at it because that's all he's good for. -
.
I've been with this group for so long that I remember when YGSM was a newbie on GG. Couldn't tell from my post count, though.
The biggest reason I lurk is the threads just move too damn fast, and multiple people have already said something I would post. Also, there's only so many times I can participate in the same debate. She's crying though, no question about that.
Longchamp. -

I kind of fell behind and skipped a few pages. How did we get on the subject of Don's intellectual superiority? He's probably book smart, I'll give him that. But we've all heard him speak... farts have more substance. -
.All I’ll say is that there are some huge leaps being made about Tens, based on very little information. She’s not OrganizedLikeJen, who had a habit of oversharing. It’s why so many of us have a PhD in Jenology. (Uselessly!)
Ok, well then, for more substantiative evidence: Tensleigh thinks it's a good life decision to marry a guy for whom, when you Google his name, one of the first pictures that comes up is a picture of him shirtless and describing himself as a 420 friendly hypersexual dominant. A guy who put that on his Tinder in the first place for anyone to find, when he and his ex-wife chose to be public figures. Twenty years from now, when their kids are applying to jobs, that's going to come up on a background check. She also thinks it's a good life decision to marry a guy who had a video broadcast on television of himself doing some weird "pwincess" pre-coital ritual with his wife in which she acted like a 5-year-old while carrying a toy crown and scepter, and who wasn't even embarrassed about it after the fact! The dress is just one more item added to the dumpster fire.
...
While I didn't think the dress was attractive, I didn't think it was totally inappropriate. I'm neither a whore nor a prude, so I'm not judging T based on the blue dress.
I did judge her based on the other reasons lurker1991 stated. To be fair, I always found him repulsive, and the thought of seeing all the Google results on him and thinking he'd make a good partner and co-parent just baffles me. -
.So I had been taking a break from Gene myself -- great suggestion bakers! Hating on her was just putting my into more of a funk about the demise of my marriage on the same timescale.
The developments uncovered are leaving me gobsmacked.
I cannot believe that Don is already engaged. I know that people comment about not dating until the divorce is finalized or whatever other defining event you chose but seriously I am broken and only holding the pieces together for my kids and to stay vaguely functional at my job. There is absolutely nothing that I could bring to a relationship at the moment.
I am trying to rebuild friendships and learning to trust people again. But ultimately I ask myself why would someone want a relationship with a new divorcee? For me processing through all the cycles of grief and loss and rejection has left me feeling incomplete. Why the fuck would I want to bring someone else and their children and my children onto a new roller coaster?
I think it was much easier for Don because (and this is conjecture, of course) he was the one who checked out of the marriage first and then dumped her. And it's so much easier to rebuild a life with that Ross money. I don't think it took him that long to move on and without Jen, he's living his best life.
Of course, it's all just about Don.
Wishing you the best GrumpyPants

So as the one who's been prepping the artisanal charcuterie board and putting out the rolling papers at the Table of Suspicious Minds, this has been a hilarious weekend and I've enjoyed the bitchfest.
And you know what? I don't feel bad because Don is a tool who used to revel in the Jenions' adoration. And someone (and I don't think it was Jen) sold Tensleigh out to a snark site with thousands of readers. I do think the lurkers and Jenions who tried to friend or follow Tensleigh are dumbfucks, though.
Repeating myself, but at the end of the day I hope CC and D get along with the other kids and have at least one fun, happy home. These are their most formative years. No matter what, they need a good, loving home with Don and whoever he marries because Jen isn't providing it. -
.
I just really hope CC and Donny get a good, stable home life.
Gold diggers often don't become great step parents. Prove me wrong, Tens. -
.Is there any way to find out when T started following Jen on insta? It’d be pretty wild if she was a “fan” of hers before meeting him.
No. If you view Instagram on a regular browser instead of the app, the follow and followers lists are sorted from most recent. But there's no way to actually know. And even though Jen has been hemorrhaging followers for months, she might also be getting new followers regularly that would push T further down the list. -
.Second wives aren't generally too kind to the first wife's children after the honeymoon phase.
That's not necessarily true. I know many second wives who have loved their step children as their own and have great relationships with them. I'm sorry your experience was bad, truly, but there are many who have had great step parents.
I worked family law for 2 years so I'm not basing this on my own experience or social circle. You're right, and I've seen numerous examples of both scenarios. So I hope the reason Jen is no longer shot in the ass with luck is because CC and Donny have taken it all from her. -
.ofcourse she is a gold digger!! 🤣🤣🤣no question about that! Which mom of three would go into engagement or marriage within 10 months of being divorced from a long marriage (that was good enough for her to have 3 kids), UNLESS the guy she found is a millionaire? Don’s tinder pic was creepy abs she proceeded anyway. From gold digger1 to gold digger2... Don keeps getting the same kind.
I think they probably really love each other. I think Don's a good guy and I'm not surprised he's engaged. I think after the first marriage a lot of people have grown, know who they are and what they want out of a partner.
......And that's why I worded my post the way I did lol.And again, Don has the extremely unique problem of having literally thousands of strangers knowing years of information about him, his personal details, and extremely adept at digging up information. And Tensleigh still thought, for whatever reasons, it is a good idea to marry him.
Maybe it's because Jen legit has no friends, but no matter how hard we've prayed collectively for years, no legit insider, no cleaning ladies, no Vincente, no nail tech, no long-forgotten high school acquaintance has ever joined in. But Tensleigh got handed to us on a silver platter within months of her engagement.
To your first point, I think T is a bit of a gold-digger and Don’s a smooth talker. She also seems like she’s into his dominant 420-friendly lifestyle.
To your second point, I honestly think the bakery unearthed everything that any of those auxiliary people in Jen’s life would know. Only family would have the real tea.
Well.. he does have his mom's knack of talking a lot but saying very little... Also... "dominant 420-friendly lifestyle" is... he must have completely changed as a person if that's how he comes across to Tensleigh.
I wonder how much money is worth taking on this type of baggage. It's not just her, she's got 3 kids she's bringing into this. The mods have locked things down pretty good here, but even we're not the most rabid of all of Jen's watchers.
My second point was more about how Tensleigh got sold out before she's even officially Mrs. Ross 2, and what kind of person she might be that there's someone who's willing to do that so quickly.
Second wives aren't generally too kind to the first wife's children after the honeymoon phase.
