I didn't love Nick but he definitely didn't deserve to be treated so badly. It seemed like Hannah's sole purpose the second half of the show was to embarrass him any chance she got. Her comments about his sexual inexperience for example were so disrespectful, given that he specifically asked not to talk about that with mics on.

That part really bothered me. She could have easily voiced those concerns off camera or told him directly. She did it whilst she knew she was being filmed in order to humiliate and further punish him. I dont care how goofy or how much of a mommas boy Nick is, he did not deserve her cruelty and emotional abuse.

Thank you! That's why I couldn't feel any empathy for her when she said that he made a grenade comment about it once to the boys after the reveal. I'm not sure if that was off camera but Nick definitely tried in the relationship. From the scenes we saw, he always gave her words of affirmations and very complimentary whenever someone asked about her. I fully feel he did exactly what he said which was love her no matter how she looked.

Yes!! After she realized Brittany was also competing for Leo, picking Nick ensured she would move forward as she was his only connection left. All things being equal, whether she felt insecure competing with Brittany or not, picking Nick was a surer bet than a potentially 50/50 shot with Leo. And she quit her job for this, so raiding the stakes like that kind of necessitates making it on the cast and getting to Mexico and beyond, because if you don’t get on the show and you gave up work for it that sucks even more than just going home…

my interpretation of the pasta incident was that nick was deeply afraid of doing it wrong and getting yelled at for being incompetent. when you're in that kind of relationship where you're walking on eggshells all the time, it can feel like you do even very simple things the wrong way, so maybe nick felt like he had to double and triple check.

I think there are some things that are being glossed over that bring more gravity to Hannah's action towards Nick. For example, when she is communicating to the other girls about the duck situation, her narration of the events it's very far away of the actual event, adding an edge of malice that wasn't even there in reality. She is very comfortable manipulating her words in a way that earns her simpathy from others and I think it was a miss not mentioning that. Edit: now having finished the video, I can just reiterate this point. A lot of Hannah's extremely demeaning comments are not really called out, and it kinda removes the seriousness of the situation. Personally, sometimes I had to stop the episode because it was really disgusting and unbelievable to me someone could talk to another person like that.

I feel like this is a perfect case of the punishment not fitting the crime. It might be frustrating that Nick isn’t as self sufficient, I get that, but her bullying reaction, which goes into abuse to me, doesn’t make any sense. That’s the opposite of being emotionally mature, which she claims to be. I can chalk some of it up to her being young and maybe inexperienced overall with long term relationships, but it’s still really sad to watch. Nick definitely has shortcomings, but he didn’t project those things onto Hannah in a cruel way the way she did. I actually hope she gets some help or talks to someone, because “being direct” is not the same as being cruel, or “being a b*tch*”, as she laughed it off later.

I just hated how everyone in the reunion treated the situation. Hannah downplayed her actions so much and just said she was bitchy. No girl, you were emotionally abusive. And then everyone moved on like thats a good enough explaination. Then everyone dog piles Nick for being mean behind her back. Yes, thats horrible. But honestly, being straight up emotionally abusive and cruel to someone's face is much worse than being mean about them to other people. She did it do put him down and lower his self worth. Everyone seemed so much more upset at Nick than her and it really upset me. I genuinly almost cried once durring it because how uncomfortable it made me. I dont like what Nick did, but why was no one mad at how cruel Hannah was? Why was it all on Nick? It was just upsetting. Im always too scared to comment on this because I dont want to give mysogonists any ideas but truthfully, I've noticed a pattern where the hosts/ people in the reunion seem to almost always take the woman's side, or at least put a ton on the blame on the men especially. That last shot of Nick where they were trying to act like everything was fine at the end of the day, and he looks at them and said it was okay... that was so usad. His eyes were so red and it really looked like he was trying to not cry. Anyways, this reunion kind of turned me off from the show.

It's as if they needed all the drama to cover up the fact that only had 2 couples make it together(?) I also wonder why they have PAST Love Is Blind couples showing up and commenting about current season relationships at all.. Is that some type a flex? Not that the men were innocent by any means, but the show let the women gang up on, talk over, be disrespectful to and be dismissive of all the men without a time limit, all while ignoring the deplorable behavior of the women and some of their families...made it a total $hit show to watch. 😭

And I certainly wouldn’t tell the friend’s spouse the things my friend said in that moment. They are working on things now, and even if they didn’t, I would never divulge what my friend shared.

I thought her mother did not come across as warm and loving but had a cold, detached edge to her. She was more dominant than her father (they both spoke about that) and seemed to be kind of emotionally detached from Hannah. She seemed embarrassed by Hannah's responses and seemed a bit (not a lot) contemptuous about it. It's also possible that Hannah was influenced by her peers in school and became one of the mean girls to survive socially and gain acceptance from peers.

Nick didn’t “passively aggressively” mention wanting closure. Hannah asked him first. That conversation was initiated by her. I think she already knew about Katie. To feel any type of way after the Leo debacle is wild. But, this woman’s behavior is something that should be studied because I’ve never seen anything like it. Not in my 20s, 30s or 40s. Her age is no excuse. I have no doubt in my mind she will be just as bad 20 years from now. Her friends (and now Marissa) validating her behavior is the worst thing that can happen to her.

I don't know, with regards to talking about opinions on partner appearance, do people not talk about their dates' and their opinions with their friends / family? Like "oh, he was cute" or "oh he looked different IRL than his profile photos". These folks don't have anyone to talk to besides their castmates, partner, and producer. And you can't tell your partner that you felt underwhelmed by their appearance at the reveal, so he's just got his castmates left! Hannah was trashing his appearance and going on about how underwhelmed she was ON CAMERA, so in comparison him confiding to the closest thing he had to friends is, at most, equally bad, certainly not worse.

I’m sick of women commentators not calling out Hannah’s abusive behaviors, but will call out a man who has done far less than her. This is hypocrisy. Hannah is 1. Manipulative 2. Verbally abusive 3. Goes around talking badly about him and hopes he doesn’t have anyone in his corner 4. Jealous 5. Vindictive 6. Emotionally abusive 7. Won’t take accountability or inability to apologize 8. Twists reality 9. Gaslights 10. Acts nice and loving in front of others 11. She enjoys his pain and humiliation especially around others ie reunion, with her brother or TikTok. 12. Crosses boundaries 13. Blames the victim for the abuse The only thing Hannah didn’t do was physically abuse nick. Whether you’re Male or female these are clear indicators of abuse and it’s not okay for your partner to behave like that. Get help!

When you mentioned the fact that she kept expecting her family to grill Nick, I think she wanted them to validate her doubts she had him. She mentions when she breaks up with Nick how her friends were the one who said it wasn’t right for her and that was what she needed to end things. This also was the case when she first broke it off with Nick in the pods because she listened to the other girls about him.

I think the brand that Nick was referring to is because he's a realtor. Realtors pretty much operate as their own entity under the brokerage. I'm sure most cast members after LIB season 2 are just coming on for clout as their top priority, getting a partner is just the bonus on top. They can call out Nick for clout chasing, but the same thing can be said about most if not all of them, except they didn't get caught putting their thoughts in writing.

The reason why Nick was emotionally mature is because he came from warm, loving parents who taught him those qualities. I think Hanna wanting her parents to "grill" Nick is bc she doesn't feel like they truly love or care about her. Her whole personality is a trauma response to controlling, yet still emotionally neglectful parenting. It's very sad. Sure, Nick can't cook, but that is much easier to teach someone

I've noticed multiple instances on this show of women being openly abusive toward their male partners. If the roles were reversed, there would likely be an uproar on Netflix, and the Lacheys would speak out against DV while openly supporting Hannah. For example, if Nick belittled Hannah by claiming he "turned her from a girl into a woman," it wouldn’t be accepted. This normalization of disrespect can desensitize viewers and perpetuate harmful stereotypes, particularly since men are statistically more vulnerable to depression. Ultimately, the show reinforces abusive dynamics without accountability. The reality is that neither of them truly believed they were ready for marriage, despite Nick’s efforts. I hope they seek therapy to gain the tools needed to become better partners in the future.

Growing up, my best friend was made fun of by boys in school for her looks. So when she started dating as an adult, she’d tell me all of the mean and degrading things she’d say to men and would pass it off as being outspoken when in reality it was a defense mechanism so that they wouldn’t have the chance to be mean to her first. This friend became very preoccupied with her physical appearance and eventually had issues dating where men would cut her off for “no reason”, but not because of looks. Hannah very much reminds me of this friend. And hearing the way Nick spoke about her behind her back must’ve brought up some deep issues. I really hope she’s talking to someone and working through her insecurities. A year later at the reunion, she’s gotten a complete makeover but hasn’t done much introspection and still excuses her actions towards Nick as “just being a direct person.”

One factor that I think informs Hannah’s self-criticism and criticism of others is that her parents fixated on her body weight when she was a child. In the pods, she shared with Nick about how her parents locked the refrigerator and cupboards (among other things) because they were “worried” about her weight. Their intentions may have been informed by common misconceptions that body weight is an all-encompassing factor for overall health, but the ways that they approached what they perceived to be a weight problem were in itself cruel. This probably had an overwhelmingly negative impact on her mental health and development. She talked about those experiences in a way that suggests they were traumatic for her.

@@Crystal0139 Exactly. I can see why his lack of knowledge in those areas would make marriage worrisome, but tactical skills can be learned or even outsourced tbh (if Nick did eventually make enough money as a real estate agent). And if there was underlying love and affection and respect, then that's the kind of thing that you could break up at the altar but still continue dating. Even Stacy was willing to continue dating Izzy despite their issues being (in my opinion) bigger question marks. I'm not saying Hannah was obligated to, but there ARE other options than "marriage or nothing" if the couple wants to make it work. And no one is born knowing how to do these things from the womb, so their timeline of learning just comes down to when they either HAVE to, or being one of the rare types who actually really enjoys this stuff. Just b/c Hannah had to do these things earlier doesn't mean that Nick is bad or that he'd be incapable of doing it whenever he had to. It's just that in his life, that necessity came later. SO many couples with different preferences and skill levels make it work with adjustment on both ends (either one person being fine doing more of the work, both parties moving towards an equilibrium, the other person stepping up completely, etc.). Even with the Gottmans, the most famous and rigorous relationship researchers, they've compromised on that by Julie not freaking out about John's pile of books until her life is in peril 😂 and it's fine if someone doesn't want to live that way, but it doesn't make them inherently better. But character is really the make or break, and that evidently can take a whole lot of therapy and self-help to change (and starting with WILLINGNESS!). Which Hannah does NOT demonstrate.

Hannah is down right abusive…. Sheesh! She manipulates the story around Nick and because she’s surrounded by circumstances that make Nick look bad, she is excused from accountability. Nick doesn’t have to be a saint to have experienced verbal and emotional abuse from this woman. Nick made 1 comment about her being a grenade, she made multiple comments about his looks, finances, “immaturity”, sexual performance, to so many people behind his back and in front of him. If the bandwagon of supporters could call Nick out which they should, then they absolutely should have called Hannah’s abuse out. Watching Hannah tear this man apart and deflect from accountability by pointing at him and the whole attendees of the show letting it happen reminded me of Zanab and Cole and I don’t think I’ll keep watching LIB if they continue to bring these bullies and let them tear apart the victims of their emotional violence.

IMO, this season's reunion was filmed in "dumpster fire" format. It turned out like an episode of Mean Girls Club crossed with a Jerry Springer episode with amount of victimhood being portrayed by everyone. I've never fast forwarded through a reunion episode of Love is Blind before.. But the way they let everyone scream over each other so you couldn't understand anything anyone was saying was very poor directing. In the end, Hannah proved to herself and everyone to be a self-proclaimed narcissist who would fully ditch her girlfriends for a dudes approval. Everyone believed Stephen about what Nick said (whether true or not), who lied about his own relationship intentions as well lol. And although Ramses never admitted to it, we all know it was Marissa's totally unhinged mother stating things like "I wanted to punch him in the throat" that made him realize that it would never work between them. I really hope someday Marissa gets away from her emotionally unstable mother and finds a healthy, non-toxic relationship. She seemed like a genuine person, but was also playing a heart broken victim, essentially ignoring her mother's toxic role in his and hers relationship.

I think she knew he wasn’t into her and that’s why she was on her aggressive side. It does feel like he was playing a part a bit . I also agree he definitely should have ridden the duck. I think she was more hurt that he entertained it when it was their first day there but she was also being harsh. However I really think it stemmed from her insecurity of how he felt about her ( from reveal). I thought she was a tad aggressive during the finances conversation but it needed to be done. He did seem very uncomfortable though. She could have adjusted how she continued the conversation, once she saw how he was feeling. Her mom’s reaction made me question if she was like that all the time.

The duck incident wasn’t bad at all. She was jealous and wanted to control what he does. Why can’t the man ride the duck? Hannah was insecure long before Nick. She also seems jealous of his family dynamics since they cut her off and critical of her. Nick comes from a loving supporting family who continued to love and support him in his adult life. He’s patient, listens and open to criticism. He will be a good partner and will mature further by living alone for some time. I can totally see her being a single woman or constantly rotating between that and in a relationship in her future. She’s insufferable and will need a 180 change of character

I hate when people call abuse “delivery”… Hannah was communicating contempt in every way she could. It wasn’t just delivery.

I believe Hannah chose Nick because of Britney. When Britney came back from her date with Leo and accidentally said his name, you could see how uncomfortable she felt. She looked like she thought Britney was conventionally more attractive than her, so she hurried back and got with Nick after she broke things off with him.

I enjoyed this video a lot, so thank you for taking the time to film it. I do however think that Hannah’s approach towards Nick was emotionally and verbally abusive and I would’ve hoped that you would’ve addressed that. Yea, they both had things to work on but Hannah displayed very abusive behaviour towards Nick.

So they had a conversation about not sharing their intimacy and then she goes in one of the outing and just completely embarrassed him, talking about how he does not eat the cat and other things. hannah is just pure bad.

I do think this highlights Nicks faults more than other places, which do gloss over it all. But this also really minimises hannahs overall treatment of nick which was abusive.

Steph, I just found your channel, and I love your insight. I think you are right on the money on all your assessments. There is phrase that we use in my life and training that I think fits what you were saying in this episode. "You can be Right, OR You can be in Relationship" I think that would work in so many conversations with married couples. You are awsome!

I am also so confused when people are shocked that reality TV folks care about how the come off. To me, the fact that he was open about it with Hannah and also wanted to know if there were thing she wouldn't want mentioned was pretty ethical and straight forward. We all negotiate privacy boundaries.

I'm like 2:30 in but I think Hannah quitting her job COULD be the first thing that she's done FOR her potential fiancé. The way she sees it at the end where it's all the things she's done for him, to help him grow compared to how much he's done for her, quitting the job may be the 1st thing even though he obviously never asked her to.

A "cute couple" doesn't necessarily mean cute looking, it's interesting that's where Hannah's mind instantly went.

I think him asking her about the work with the face is the very immature 18yo boy thinking that people who get plastic surgery and injectables look fake and weird and that natural women look more beautiful etc. I think it just showed a level of immaturity.

Hannah left her list of "10 things she hated about Nick" out for him to see. I'm 100% confident in that claim. I believe it was her passive aggressive retaliation for the situation with the duck race with that other woman

I honestly feel you went too easy on Hannah and I wonder why. I realize you tried to be even handed, but to me this really resembled Zanab and Cole and you were much more willing to call out Zanab's abuse there. The way Hannah talked to Nick seemed verbally abusive to me. And the way she talked about him was very disrespectful as well (such as exposing his sex game). I did not see that talked about here, but I may have missed it.

I’m glad you mentioned they should have support on this show cause I’ve definitely said this as this season came to a close. I think having a few counselors onsite to help them either on or off camera would be beneficial for a lot of these couples.

13:04 brand- I would identify this more in reference to his Real estate job. You do have certain clauses with the brokerage you work for, in respect to professionalism and essentially your "PR" for yourself and the brokerage essentially. Either way- no matter the excuse or reasoning, if you dont want to talk about what you did in your private time. Then it should be respected.
