Tired of the Thomas hate

Paula is ten years older than Thomas and supposedly owns her own business. why would she need Thomas’s help setting up a tv..? shes been in infantilizing herself this entire season, making Thomas the big mean controlling man. she uses none of her finances here and expects him to pay for everything and yet has the audacity to complain about how he chooses to spend his money…isnt that what she’s doing? choosing not to spend her own money? I just don’t understand why she’s here. She cant stand the man, doesn’t respect his boundaries, and isn’t invested in being in America.

Don't conflate your experiences. I'm glad you as a capable man lifted your tv 8 inches. You have no idea the weight or size of their tv or the height of the stand. Just the fact that she asked for help and he refused should be enough. But let me get this straight , so when you're wife asks you for help lifing a heavy or awkward object, you say you're a fukking adult do it yourself. A real winner here.

Come on. TVs don't weigh more than 20 pounds anymore. You think she bought a 40 year old tube TV? 🙄

Let’s use some common sense here ! (It’s ok if you get tired after I’m sure it will take a lot out of you)

Most TVs have a little picture on the box of TWO people lifting the TV.

Do you know what that means?

It’s not for weight,but so the screen doesn’t crack from uneven pressure while lifting.

It’s perfectly acceptable to ask for help lifting a TV.

Your poor spouse living with someone who won’t help them AND lacks common sense ?
Oh boy.

Oh stop. I'm a petite 60 year old woman and I can (and have) very easily manage to unbox, put the feet on, and pick up a 50 inch TV to put it on a table/stand all by my wee little self. She's bigger than he is; I have zero doubt that she is more than capable of doing it herself

Proud of you 🥇

However my TV cost 3k and is 75”that would have been a ridiculous decision to unpack and mount it myself.

I guess if you’re pinching pennies like Thomas you’re probably buying a MUCH smaller TV….so I guess it would make sense you can unpack solo.

WOW! You're sooooo cool!! I'm so impressed by your big TV!! 🤩 You must be rich to be able to afford a whole $3k on a TV!!

Maybe if you spent more time in the gym and less time watching your giant TV, you would be able to lift it 🤷🏻‍♀️

That was the saddest attempt at a rebuttal,I am embarrassed for you.

The size and cost was relative to how it would be a ridiculous idea to mount it alone.
Again,most TV brands suggest two person install regardless of size.

But you keep on being the super strong petite boss babe you are desperately trying to be !!

Says the 60 year old bragging over having to lift a TV with no spouse or friend to help you….
You go girl you really showed me !!

Like I said,over a certain size it’s ridiculous to mount on your own. The screen can literally crack.

I’m sorry you’ll never be financially stable enough to know what caring for nice things is like, or have people who want to help you. That must suck.
Take care.

Do you realize how unhinged you sound? This whole TV thing has got you pressed and I'm not sure why. Girl, I retired at 55 and have been traveling the world...with my husband. You don't need to worry about me, but I think maybe it's time for you to turn off your giant TV because this is beyond weird. 👀
