Bachelor… Painful to Watch.. Real Life?
Real Life.. definitely. After the show ends…
Did you watch the 3 hour Bachelor Finale? Was it painful for you too? 
All you have to do is read some blogs today and comments across the web and you will see a divided crowd. Some just hate Jason for what he did..
I will tell you this though, people can be very different in different environments.
To give you one real life comparison.. My wife before she met me was married to a Marine stationed in Hawaii. She went to visit him there a dozen times before he moved back to her hometown here in Wisconsin.
As soon as he was out of the military environment and took his uniform off, he turned into Mr. Loser *sshole. Her words not mine. 
He couldn’t hold a job.. he was rude and insensitive to her, her family and friends. He let himself go.. was a slob.
He simply turned into a different person; and of course, to my benefit, they got a divorce.
Well, giving Jason in the Bachelor the benefit of the doubt, who’s to say that didn’t happen and out of respect he’s not going to go into great detail with the general public?
What if she turned into a real *itch? What if she became controlling.. Maybe it wasn’t that bad, but maybe a combination of minor differences that changed her whole personality.
People are different in different environments. And a show like this is going to have more failures than successes because it’s an unnatural setup. Look.. you can’t force love. And you can’t force decisions. You can’t put a time limit and force someone to choose. It doesn’t work that way in the real world.
The Bachelor works as a show because its’ entertaining and people love soap opera-ish stuff. But as a real model to find your true love, it sucks!
Blend that with caring for multiple people at the same time.. in exotic situations they are in? Wow..
My wife says it’s like they know the “Vacation Person” when they are on the show…
That’s probably the case for a lot of these shows.
As soon as you are back into the real world and have to live a normal life, many things change.. and people will act and even look different.
Maybe Melissa doesn’t shower everyday.. and only did on the show. 
Actually.. I loved Melissa. And rooted for him to pick her. She does seem like a really nice and sweet person and I don’t mean any disrespect and wish her the best.
Just trying to look at it logically.
In the end, no one will probably really know what happened.. and Jason has to follow his heart and mind. If he is still with Molly in 10 years living a happy, happy life, then it was the right thing for him to do.
