Couldn’t agree more about Jim. Most influencers come across as narcissistic to an extent, comes with the job I guess. But Jim is another breed. He absolutely could not process Tanya’s rejection of him and it’s made him a miserable bitter old man at 30 something.
The thing is I could understand (to an extent) having weird feelings around Tanya still. She was his first everything and I sincerely think he thought they’d be together forever. They’re from the same home town, grew up together, Tanya was close to his family, so their roots together ran deep. But the way he chooses to process those feelings is so unbelievably pathetic.
He ran as quickly as he could to grab the first willing woman who ticked his boxes. Paraded her around and then knocked her up all in record speed. All with a sense of ‘something to prove’ rather than feeling like an organic choice. And now that the dust has settled he’s clearly feeling very unfulfilled and empty. I don’t feel sorry for Sarah because she willingly signed up for this, but I do feel sorry for their child. It’s like Jim sees them both as props in his life.
