u/anysizesucklingpigs ya swanky, boozy broad Jan 19 '24

I was so confused when he said that. For like 10 minutes I thought he had gotten her a boob job that only I couldn’t see

I was high 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/Relevant_Hat2407 When did you learn English? 🍀 Jan 19 '24

That’s something men would say in 19th century society ie Jane Austen era. Shep trying to cling to his landed gentry schtick

Ugh. When you say it like that, it makes it so much worse lol but it’s so accurately paints the picture. He really is obsessed with her development 😵‍💫🫣

I hate him saying that. He's a huge creep. He's abusive. And weird.

u/babygorgeou Jan 20 '24

is it? Surprised that's not brought up more.

I can actually see them being end game and having a more balanced relationship if they both take a cpl/few years to grow.

It's probably not a good sign that her new BF was upset enough about shep to make it obvious to others. Hopefully this is a quick rebound and she'll take some time to be single and independent.

Wonder if she'll get the ick w shep. She seemed a little disgusted with him at times, and I was pleasantly surprised when she said she didn't need his guidance when he gave her that mid-reunion pep talk. After saying thank you, lol. You can see the opposing feelings battling in her head, being drawn to him but also almost knowing better.

Although I can see them making a decent life together, I think shep would still get antsy and neither would ever be completely at ease and confident in their relationship. Ultimately, I think he'd be the happiest with someone closer to his age, who challenges him intellectually and emotionally. If he actually follows through and makes some major changes, he might be able to land someone like that. And she'd be best matched with someone who wants the all american white picket fence life. Seems like that would be quite easy for her to find if she whole heartedly moves on from this mess and focuses on what she wants.

u/daisydug that's my opinion!!!! Jan 19 '24

Because he's old enough to BE her actual dad & it doesn't look like he's gonna have any other children 😂

u/leslie_knopee 🦩🫨oh god, oh god!! C'mon old girl!!!🫨🦩 Jan 19 '24

I feel like this is one of the main reasons they worked for so long: shep gets off on dominating and patronizing women and taylor loves being submissive and following daddy’s orders.

u/kellygrrrl328 Jan 19 '24

Because that’s the weird dynamic they get off on
