First time poster here, it’s taken me ages to get the courage to post because I don’t like talking badly about people but I’m genuinely concerned so sorry for the incoming rant of things I’ve been holding in.
I’d followed Carrie for years, and I remember a blog post or a video from literally like 10 years ago (I think it was on All I Know Now) where she admitted herself that she can’t be single and has always jumped into new serious relationships very quickly after just getting out of one. It stuck with me because it concerned me at the time even though I was only about 15.
We saw how hard the beginning of this year was for her, and this honeymoon phase of a new relationship is obviously going to be heightened in contrast to how miserable she was, so she’s going to feel extra happy and extra in love. As much as she’s annoying me for being part of this, at least I can understand it a bit more from her side.
I think Joel has come in when she was in a very vulnerable place and has completely taken advantage of that by trying to take over Oli’s role rather than slowly building a new relationship privately. He’s trying too hard to do everything she did publicly with Oli to prove he’s replaced him, but it’s been two months so it’s just coming across as scary and possessive.
He’s so publicly inserting himself into every aspect of her life, but when the public have an opinion on it we’re told “you don’t know our relationship, you can’t have an opinion”. We’ve already seen him getting selfies with fans at her work, publicly trying to get involved in the family, posting about their sex life. You can’t follow her without him being seen everywhere now, and I saw too much of him already in that speedo so I’ve had to bid farewell to Carrie until this passes.
i was really expecting too much from them haha
