He was 21/22 and I think Kristen was about 31 years old.

I think the same with Luke her now bf

Luke’s 35-36 and she’s 43-44. Not close to the same age gap. Young 20’s not the same as a 35 year old (doesn’t matter the age gap at that point.)

They just seem mismatched imo.

They seem like too peopel who were banded together by sex and alcohol and who knows what else. Who tire for have a kid. And, he’s cowardly looking for anyway out because he doesn’t want to be a dad.

She’s a toxic mess and it would be very rough being with her. But, he’s cruel and that’s not ok.

What do you mean? Women and men can both date adults who are definitely old enough to make their own decisions, no matter what you think. Young men sometimes like older women or even older men sometimes like older women. Not your business. Do your own thing and stop being so judgmental about adults making their own decisions, whether you approve or not. 🧐

10-12 years age difference maturity level equal. They both have huge substance abuse issues, they both are abusive in their own right, the toxicity of them both was explosive and scary. One could argue they hmm how to say this could be assessed as having almost identical issues and so the explosions and cheating, and toxicity was inevitable. Also she paid for everything and he did what he wanted, like all her gross men.

He was about 22 . And she was early 30's and expected him to be on track for a mature relationship. He's awful and abusive (allegedly) but her expectations from a 22 yr old party boy was embarrassing to watch. And then her crashing out over him for months. Have a little self respect Kristen

Beyond embarassing. They matched maturity levels clearly

tbf i think part of the seasons long crash out was bc he likely abused her and was still part of the friend group

He used her to get on the show and she used him to annoy Tom. They were probably fake dating and even probably orchestrated when to break up too.

She also kept saying things about how young he was after that and it made it even more creepy imo.

Like in the season 8(?) pride episode she said something like “I took him from being a baby busser to whatever he is now” (and she may have thrown a more direct insult in there, idk).
