Genuinely still really confused as to what happened there with Jacques. What is going on in his head.
he’s freaking out because I think he does genuinely like Paige but he cannot deal with emotions or vulnerability at all. He needs the help of a good psychologist before he starts embarking on a relationship with anyone. Hes a classic avoidant, cannot articulate or process his emotions at all, cannot handle being vulnerable, adopts manipulation tactics and has a need to control.
I don’t believe he’s evil, but he knows himself he’s not boyfriend material. C’mon Jacques - you’re a well paid pro rugby player. Get a psychologist for yourself and work on your communication and emotional intelligence.
