The thing I specifically don't understand is that she's got the means to leave home and cry in luxury hotels.
What is the obsession with doing this in a car?
I think, on some level, she’s trying to be the Anti-Tens, or Anti-Ross. She wants to convince anyone that this is who she truly wants to be, that her luxurious-by-comparison Ross life was just her being caged. Big mean Donald wouldn’t let her sleep in her car, or some other bullshit. It’s not true, of course, but the whole thing is just one big rebellious coping mechanism.
Don is off living an upgraded version of his same life with an upgraded version of Jen. If she keeps doing the same things, alone, then it indicates that the only thing wrong with the old life is that she was the one living it. If she sticks with Louie Vweeton and the Four Seasons, her bluff would be called.
She really let Glennon Doyle lead her to a ruined life, and she’s so stubborn she has to just keep on burning.
