I think Beth went too far when she brought up the anxiety attacks but at least she took responsibility for bending all the time. Randall didn't even seem to hear what she was saying.
Fair point. All the more reason though to start early in making your needs known. He needed to be taught how to bend. He can’t learn to bend without being given practice.
Problem is when she tells him he is squashing her (like when she lied about the conference and he caught her, which I am NOT condoning, but she told him then), he is not hearing her and not doing anything to change it. You can only do things without realizing it for so long because once someone points it out to you, you can't use that excuse anymore.Oh my gosh - just watched this morning - I can't believe there is only one more episode in the season!
But the nacho thing was spot on - he takes the best ones without even realizing it. It's not that he's consciously squashing her.
They made it seem as if Beth resents the closeness between Randall and Rebecca.
Rebecca’s prosthetics are bad this week.
consciously squashing her, it's just that he sees what he wants---- telling the roommate he's going to marry Beth (when she'd just asked him not to call)
.... a time-consuming job with a killer commute. - Did he not think that was going to cost him time with his kids?
Now that she is refusing to follow him and indulging in her dreams, we are seeing what happens when Beth does not bend to him.

We saw during the campaign she asked him to step out of the race for the family. He wouldn't do it. Once again she was left to deal with everything while he pursued his dream. When he wouldn't bow out of the race she didn't challenge him again. Which it appears to have been the case throughout their relationship.

Ok, I skipped over all the responses to do another live post. My husband is all tucked in so it’s time to watch lol
• uh Randall, you’re missing time with your girls and sleeping in Philly because of a CHOICE you made. You did it to yourself.
• LOL bringing up Roxanne. It’s so Kevin to not know it’s based on a play.
• not a very collegey first date place, but VERY Randall
• ugh @ having to pay before they eat.
• the Randall and Rebecca being so close would have driven me CRAZY. My husband’s mom died eight or so years ago (before we got together) and he always says we would have gotten along so well but from the stories he’s told, this is how it would have been.
• Randall is nice but he is a LOT.
• Rebecca’s prosthetics are bad this week.
• aww what a sweet proposal.
• LOL Randall’s vows are a speech. He really does always overdo things. He’s a very intense person.
• if I was getting married again I would totally steal these vows
• The nacho theory makes sense.
• William <3
That was a pretty intense episode. I don’t think Beth was trying to play a victim, I think everything she said was true. I didn’t really think about it, but she has been the one to always adjust to his life. I think that happens in most relationships to an extent. Will be interesting to see next week. My episode doesn’t end with a preview of next week so I go in blind every week.
I can hurt you, you know.Im on Randall side because he is a man

How is it that he had two separate phone lines in his dorm room?His unyielding nature was so strongly forged by his childhood it's virtually as if Beth will need actual hammer and tongs to get any movement out of Randall. I'm so thankful she looks as if she's quite strong and quite fit, because I want to see them happy together.
It's a shame Beth isn't actually closer with Kevin. Of anyone Kevin will have a keen understanding of what it is to continually yield for Randall's flights of fancy that become life or death priorities. The flashback to the Roxanne phone call and the vows also shows Kevin has a unique relationship with Randall because they've coexisted with an undercurrent of friction between them -- yet their bond never breaks.

I love that Randall catches her in a lie, with a bottle of wine and a hotel room and he (correct) jumps tot he conclusion that she is going to watch TV alone. It takes confidence in your partner's fidelity to jump to that conclusion first.
