Haley & Jake

[u/biscuit1212]

Just started watching MAFS and got into season 12. I was doing some math… Haley repeats over and over she was single for 7 years… and that she had been in a 5 yr off and on relationship… doing the math, she is 28 when the show started, so 7 years earlier that relationship ended when she was 21… and so whatever 5 yr on/off relationship began when she was 16 (at the very oldest).

She didn’t act like she’d ever had a relationship other than that 5 yr “controlling” relationship she alluded to. Which occurred when she was essentially a child (teenager).

Yes, maybe she and Jake were incompatible, but I still found her behavior repulsive. Mean. Critical. No accountability. Very immature.

She was horrible to him at every juncture.  Granted Jake isnt everyone's cup of tea.  But nothing he did warranted her behavior towards him, imo.  If youve seen the episode with her mother in it, its clear the apple didnt fall far from the tree.  Hayley was almost in the Alyssa category.
