I wonder what the narrative will be like -post- Utah trip.... I feel like she will ditch the kids for a few days and upload weepy insta posts while eating ridiculously expensive treats

I am thankful that those kids will remember nothing about this trip.
Jen need to put her Bridget Jones' big girl panties on, pull them up, then move on.
Find her new path in life, that happens to intertwine with Don.
Find new interests outside of the home and the Ross family.
Rent a vacation home and take her parents along. Plus her new man when he appears.
Within two years the kids will be able to go to Utah, or wherever, with Don on their own.
I can guarantee he will remarry before her. As a couple they won't want a third wheel along for the ride.
Move your life on Jen. Show some maturity. You supposedly left Don so stop holding on as if he were the only man left standing.
I wonder if her divorce decree includes that if she re married she’s excluded from alimony. That is sometimes the case... it wouldn’t be in her favour to remarry anytime soon if she wants to keep her bank account stacked 🤷🏻♀️
I’m also (reluctantly) going to jump on the getting back together ride...
I think the split happened fairly quickly, most likely a very rocky point in their relationship for whatever the circumstances. I seriously think the responsibility and change that comes with having kids is what broke this down.
I think that the sourness may have worn off and they both have had a year of “freedom” .. after this trip will realize that they can still work it out for their kids. Kids are growing up and not babies anymore, it makes life a -little- easier 🤷🏻♀️
I myself fell in to this trap (separated almost 2yrs) guess how it ended 7 years later?! Divorce!
I think once that initial spilt happens, things never go back to normal. They will have a few years of being back on a relationship rebuilding and those issues will creep back up. The second phase honeymoon stage doesn’t last...
Ooopsss just headed over to that thread... I didn’t realize this was on the rewatch lol... I just came across is on a suggestion of YouTube 😆 guess it listens and knows where I have been lurking haha!
I don’t remember her going in to so much financial details, and this was applicable given the current circumstances hahaha
I haven’t commented on this thread in ages... I’m a healthcare worker and it’s been insane! Any who...
I CANT BELIEVE THIS VACAY IS REAL?!?!
it would cost an exuberant amount of money to have me vacation with my ex husband and children. Not in a million years! My relationship was toxic and abusive (he was criminally convicted) ... I wouldn’t even consider this if she was in fact living a similar life married. If she wanted to live an amicable life with her ex family, then she should have kept with that narrative all along. I know that’s been said so many times on here, but honestly I can’t even wrap my head around this!
Not to mention, you can live an amicable life with your ex... but you don’t vacation with them before a divorce is even finalized!!! Come on!
This stunt may be the fall of her online media presence.
As if Jen would be dating already. HA! Where is she going to meet these mystery men? Werq? Yoga? Spa time? She doesn't even know how to date, she had one boyfriend (that we know of) in high school which means nothing in real dating terms and went right to marrying Don. OMG WHAT IF HE'S THE ONLY MAN SHE HAS EVER HAD SEX WITH?? Is that going to require its own journal and journey when the time comes? Imagine the one little word book needed for that, I can't wait
I’ll put myself out here. My ex was my only serious partner as we got together when I was 16. We married when I was 21. I had never been with another man..
so at 30 woah man. Time’s have changed!
I’m not a “Jen” ... but it was eye opening to say the least.
If she does end up dating someone, I think she will be naive and expect they will be exclusive right away and a proposal on the horizon. Dating times have changed and unfortunately people are not committed like they had been in the past. I don’t think any amount of time invested in her “dating journey” will prepare for the cold world for actually dating. Her fragile self will never recover if she puts herself out there.
It makes me lol literally that she’s so confident in her “really good lawyer”
What she doesn’t realize.. the second that a couple doesn’t agree on something it goes in front of a judge. Lawyers can predict some of the outcome, but not all of them. It is actually nerve wracking every time you need to meet with lawyers or be in front of a judge. You always hope for the best. Her lawyer isn’t her friend, therapist etc. They are there to be a legal advocate. She’s in for a surprise!
She has her head in the clouds still that she has gotten through all the hard stuff when it comes to divorce.
When I got initially separated, my dad said “if you think this is going to be easier now.. you are delusional” I thought after my ex moved out that things would move along the way “I planned” ohhhhh hell no it didn’t. In and out of court for 2 yrs was a nightmare!
Mark my words.. when things turn a nasty corner and not to Jens plan, she is going to lose her damn mind!
I agree.. she wouldn’t make a good travel vlogger.
I think she was overly critical about everything and just voiced it more in the ending of their marriage. You know when you get in to a b*tchy mood and you know you are being ridiculous but can’t stop? I think Jen started that long ago and it just snowballed in to resentment and self pity. I think she got wrapped up in her own mind and believed things were much worse than they actually were. She just grew to hate don and made sure he knew it little by little.
I noticed how foul her attitude would be in the last trips they took together... really since the kids came in to the picture. Everything seemed to annoy her that didn’t go exactly as she envisioned. Details that stick out, she was annoyed on a few trips about the car rental situation taking too long, naps for the kids, being late for dinner etc. I am a mom and know sometimes it’s the little things that get under your skin... but if she’s showing these things on camera.. I feel like it was happening a lot more often than not. I am sure Don was annoyed a lot by her attitude. Jen is not at all flexible when it comes to the kids, and I am sure don being laid back the majority of his life this drove him nuts. I am sure he rolled his eyes a lot and thought “Jesus Jen just calm the f down”
Jen should be a party planner ... she likes micro managing and spending other people’s money .. it would be a great fit!
She likes planning, but she would absolutely suck at throwing a decent party. No one wants to go to a party where they are told they need to eat spinach squares at 7:05 pm, vegan dip at 7:12 pm, and tasty treats at 7:20 pm while gathering around her father singing his version of opera to the crowd. I'd rather spend my birthday at the DMV.
I am thankful that those kids will remember nothing about this trip.
