The ‘ick’
I feel so silly even writing this but me and my partner have been watching MAFS UK and one of the grooms (alex) is so obviously abusive and narcissistic.
My ex was both of those things and used to antagonise me until I snapped, and would then do the same smug grin that alex does. My partner knows about my ex and the things he did, yet when we watch MAFS, he’s almost cheering alex on?
I’ve reminded him that it can be triggering for me seeing how alex behaves because it takes me back, yet he still says he understands alex and so on.
It is making me dislike him. I can’t even explain it, but seeing him laugh at alex repulses me and makes me not want him to touch me

First of all, I'm so sorry you went through that. That's awful :(
Can understand how it could trigger you, maybe don't watch it?
It's also just a show. Alex is a total dick but it's so badly edited and parts probably cut out to make him look like a complete arsehole. I'm not defending him but it is just a show and not your ex. Don't turn against your husband because of a show. He's prob laughing because some of the women on it are idiots too. I only find Emma and christina genuine Xx
I can understand it's triggering, but honestly it's not real, those people are acting and he prob isn't even like that in real life, just doing it for the ratings. What parts foes he understand like is he just enjoying the drama, these types of shows can be so bad for the mind and emotions, try not to take it so serious if he treats you well and stiff just ask him what he likes about him..
