I guess I just assume that Amanda really likes Wes because...

Yeah.

I can at least wrap my brain around trying to understand how Amanda got here, you know, coming out of a 10-year relationship, feeling isolated, scared to date again.

You know, that all just makes sense.

Wes pursued her, we now know.

I still can't wrap my brain around, like, what's Wes's logic.

We're now, like, trying to figure, you know, I think that the best guess we have now is that, like,

He was trying to capitalize on the sympathy he thought Amanda was going to receive post-divorce.

That's really threading a needle that is pretty hard.

It's just like...

I mean, listen, I feel like buzzwords are often overplayed and the word pick me is definitely up there.

You know, like these stupid kind of like competitions we have even with our friends because, you know, and it's just like the only thing that makes sense between Amanda and Wes is that that's their mindset where it's just like no matter who they

Says what to Amanda?

She's just like, he picked me and what I have with him is different.

And you guys don't understand.

And like, it just makes.
