Love is Blind has captivated me through all its intriguing seasons, and the UK version along with Season Seven sparked my interest in writing this blog post.
There has been laughter
There has been confusion
There has been some occasional shouting at the screen
and a loooooooot of tik-tok debriefing sessions
What motivated me to share my thoughts here?
This common narrative below.
A man meets a women, who he pursues and expresses his love for, only for it come apparent that he has either omitted some truths or become entangled in significant lies that can’t be overlooked or overcome.
These untruths create tension in the relationship. As the woman seeks clarity and truth, she encounters intense gaslighting, making her doubt her feelings and her own intuition.
Often, these situations leave her feeling confused and questioning her choices, while the man seems to avoid accountability.
What I find most concerning the man blatant lack of accountability and the clear intent to rip this women's self esteem to shreds.
It leads to months of introspection, anxiety even depression for the women. Until finally someone tells her or it occurs to her on her own.... she is not the problem. He is. Meanwhile the man is walking around in denial acting like he's the one who was wronged. Only when he is publicly called out on social media does he reluctantly apologize to her.
We see this same story over and over again in real life and reality tv (in the real world the apology may never come).
In my humble opinion this needs to stop.
I would like the producers to take responsibility and actively seek opportunities to address this behavior.
They can also creatively demonstrate healthy ways to handle such situations, whether the couple decides to end their relationship or work through their issues.
Dear producers, you can give us fantastic trashy reality tv and educate us at the same time. Please do so.
