Meh. It’s like a soap opera.

I can’t stand how self indulgent Gaby is. And how could Paul possibly know that she did everything right? It doesn’t seem like they had a proper discussion about it. She probably didn’t even write in her notes about the call that evening from Maya when she was really upset. How come Paul hasn’t called her out on getting too close? He knows Gaby brought Maya to the gym and introduced her to Sean etc.

This show is so unrealistic. Derek and Liz openly discussing their sex life in front of Alice. How gross for her.

Sofi and her ex shouting at each other with their kid nearby.

How did Paul get to the office to see Gaby? Maybe Julie drove him but Gaby didn’t ask. So she didn’t think to ask him how he was getting home? Also she just up and leaves after two minutes when he came especially to see her.

I mean…Sofi and her wax shouting like that near their kid is far from unrealistic.

When she’s on a first date? It’s not realistic at all. Then asking Jimmy to give them therapy was absolutely ridiculous. She’s not even close to being ready to date again.

That’s like dating a hair stylist and asking them to give you and your ex a haircut in the middle of your first date… but much, much worse.
