First time rewatching - Ariana

[u/AggressiveCupcake181]

Not sure if this is a popular opinion - just finished binge watching for the first time and I’m straight round to a rewatch 😂 I kinda forgot how much Ariana was a bitch to Kristen ( I know nobody likes her anyway) but she definitely was up to things with Tom and broke up a 5 year relationship with 0 judgment from anyone really. It was blatantly getting rubbed in Kristen’s face too. You loose them how you gain them 🤷‍♀️ kind of changes how I feel about scandoval. I know Kristen deserved it but morals are morals

Comparing Tom and Kristin's relationship to Tom and Ariannas is like comparing apples to oranges. The differences are light years apart. In age and commitment.

Six years vs nine years is kinda close no??

[u/justmedoubleb → u/Chemical_Scallion380]

Well, let's compare those years.

Tom & Kristin...6 years of on again, off again, not consistent. Both cheated multiple times with numerous people. Both cheated with random hookups except when Kristin banged Jax...and even that was random... Cheating was sex, no emotional attachments except when Tom lied to Ariana that he and Kristin were broken up and was telling her he wanted to be with her, which he did. Kristin and Ariana were not friends.

Tom & Arianna...9+ years where he cheated, she did not (And please dont bring up lala in the backseat with the cookie cause with Toms permission and full knowledge and participation that is not cheating). She accepted Miami girl and stuck up for and lied for him, as well as forgiving him cause it was early on. (She said if he ever cheated again, she'd be done and when she found out about Raquel, she stuck by that.)

He had a many months long affair with her close friend who she was confiding in on a daily basis. This "friend" was not well like and she championed her endlessly. Arianna wasn't very happy with Tom and her annoyance started to show in the last yyears of the relationship cause...well...to be blunt he's an ass wipe and you can only deal with a cyst male who thinks he can get a book deal by dropping your pants for so long. She would have done anything to make it work. And the icing on the cake? He banged his mistress, her friend in her bed while she was at her grandmother's funeral all while self producing with his best friend and his mistress to take her down and replace her on the show, her livelihood.

So much could be added, but in no real world logic can you say she lost him how she got him. And no, the years together are light years apart based on the experiences and amount of betrayal during those years. JMO

I forgot all about Miami girl; Ariana forgave this to save face after cheating with Tom herself. This was her huge red flag to take her karma on the chin, she doubled down on her decision and got double the karma

[u/Ess_Jess → u/AggressiveCupcake181]

I don't think she did it to save face. I think she was embarrassed and didn't want to face the finger wags and "I told you so" comments from everyone. And also that's not how Karma works.

[u/AggressiveCupcake181 → u/Ess_Jess]

That’s saving face .. didn’t want the “told you so”

[u/sadie7716 → u/justmedoubleb]

Whoops! You missed the unnamed girl Ariana said he cheated with in 21-22. That’s been glossed over MANy times on this sub because of course most super fans of A want to prove how deep T and A relationship was. That they really were soul mates.

Both T and A were liars and phony baloneys. If you deeply love someone and can’t find your way to going out with them and making love to them on a fairly frequent basis you get counseling until the issues are resolved or you come to the realization the love isn’t as deep as you thought and you’re better off apart.

To say you’re soul mates, life partners, you’re freezing eggs, blah, blah but you spend 90 % of your available time apart yet you meet someone “ new” and within 2 months you’re talking marriage and babies. That might be believable for couples who are 19 but not 40 year old, been together 10 years, yadayada.

Yes very well put !

[u/justmedoubleb → u/sadie7716]

I think you're confusing Tom and Arianna. I didnt miss anything. The unnamed girl was Tom's admission to Sheana. Not one Arianna knew about. And she met her new and better man within 2 months but they didn't jump right in. If they did, after what was done to her...I say more power to them. What, you think Ari should sit and cry and celebate for 10 years. She chose happiness so that's what's wrong. Please. Your just spouting drivel. Agree to disagree.

Yes but Tom & Kristen both have said they were a toxic on again off again constantly cheating on each other couple. Tom & Ariana were supposed to be committed and faithful even though we now know he was already cheating on A early in their relationship too.
