      I also loved when Milton closed out the conversation with Uche by saying I’ll catch you on the group chat, instead of saying I’ll call or text individually. It was Oscar-worthy shade.

      YES. Uche wanted a reaction from Milton in the Pods.
      Milton and Lydia had a dispute and Uche wanted to “school” Milton on the situation and get some insight. Milton shut him down and said he’d handle it. Uche looked SO outdone by his reaction. 😂

    In the pods I really thought there was no way Milton could handle Lydia. Standing up to her so calmly with the shorts was the first moment I realized maybe he can handle her. Then at the party with Uche is when I realized Milton is perfect for Lydia. Milton grounds and calms Lydia. Lydia helps Milton see the world more passionately. And I think it works beautifully from what we have seen

    My favorite quote from Milton was, “Your perception is your reality.” This is so true. People can view the same situation, but interpret it differently.
    I am even seeing this with all the different Love is Blind commentaries, breakdowns, reviews, recaps, reactions etc… This is so fascinating.

    Milton’s family dynamics are fascinating. Mom and sister are so firm, dad and brother in law seem much more gentle and open. Milton clearly craves the openness that he got to glimpse with his father, but his mom seems to be the one in charge of the household . It totally makes sense as a black family in the south, especially with the size of Milton and his father, but it’s just so interesting to see a young man reject that coldness so definitively and be so emotionally intelligent with no obvious source of that wisdom. Great video!!!

      I get the impression that, while they might not be an emotionally demonstrative family, they have taught their children healthy personal boundaries and expectations. I’m curious what Milton’s grandparents and other extended family are like. I suspect they’ve also played a huge part in his personal development.

      I don't agree they are cold, I see them clearly in distress when he can't give any answer why he wants to marry her. They don't pretend cold. I see emotions on their faces, wtf emotions. And neither he nor Lydia give affirmations and reassurance to his family. Emotinal intelligence works both ways because you cant call yourself emotionally intelligent dismissing negative feelings of the family members. I dont' see wisdom here nope

      So Lydia stalked him and went on there for uche and manipulated him. Imagine your ex stalked you onto a tv show ? 🤣 then when you tell your ex no he sabotages other relationships telling your business to other dudes. Make it make sense. Then she preys on Milton cause he’s younger and more easier to manipulate as well. Lydia is a crazy women no parent would want there son to be with her. Milton should’ve never married her and y’all will see one day.

    My partner thinks this is a trash show that I love and he does not care at all about love is blind. But with your videos I can guarantee hes going to benefit from me watching the show. I learned so much in this video so the trash reality tv will have a net positive on my relationship.
    As an aside that I think youd appreciate as a therapist.... like i said, he hates this show. We were in mexico for a week in between the episodes dropping, so I told him that my gift to him for a good vacation was that i was not going to talk about love is blind at all while we were away. however, later on in the trip we encountered something that he knows is very triggering for me while at a restaurant. Immediately, he said 'lets talk about love is blind. fill me in on what is happening". So he listened and asked questions about the show for 45 min through the rest of the meal to help me manage my anxiety. He's an absolute gem.

    Regarding the black vs. gray shorts scene, I feel like Lydia was being a little too adamant even though she was bringing humor and silliness to it. I appreciated the way Milton handled it. He was firm but still showing her affection and using a respectful tone of voice. It felt like he was saying, “I disagree, and I’m firm on that, but I still love you.” I thought it was wise beyond his years to have a moment to stand up for himself and set a precedent while still being kind and loving.

      No they both felt like they need to prove people wrong.

Milton doesn’t deserve someone that only went on the show to lie & manipulate try to get back with her ex and when she gets turned down she tries to sabotage his other connection. Make it make sense. Oh but they’re good for each other right. She would’ve married anyone she’s over 30 of course she just wants to get married. She don’t care as long as it’s someone with money

In contrast, Milton is a genuine person who was willing to get in touch with his real emotions even though it wasn’t 100% natural for him to do so. In fact, Milton’s genius was his ability to separate how he was raised from who he truly is inside. Lydia is lucky to have him. And Milton is lucky to have her.

    Milton did seem calm and level headed amongst the chaos but like you said based on his personally type and what we saw, he just avoided opening up and expressing any emotion at all.
    I was shocked that he said yes too and even proposed in the first place. The way he was so hesitant it seemed like the hardest decision he's had to make. I can't help but think he got married to prove a point especially to his parents. We saw in the scene with his father on the wedding day. Milton was very dismissive even though his father was actually trying to give him good insight on what marriage could be.

    I think the clothing moment with the shorts was super pivotal for Milton. As someone who’s ex was super controlling (because he also came from a family with a mom that suuuuper controlling) I had a hell of a time asserting my autonomy and my right to choose my own damn clothes because it was a constant fight and I was tiredddd. I was also super young so it took me a bit to fully make him know I’m not gonna be controlled like that, but of course as time went on it was just always something else to deal against and I’m so glad I’m out of that old relationship lol.
    I’m also glad to see them happy at the reunion, and to hear that Lydia (unlike me in that old relationship) is strong enough and old enough in her sense of self to be herself no matter what, and that it has actually, in Milton’s words, warmed up not only his mom but his whole family!!

    Great review! Milton was my favorite this season. I do think that he had a point about Lydia’s behavior when she’s highly emotional although the way that he communicated it wasn’t the best. It did come off as a little judgmental and dismissive of her feelings. However, I think that he voiced concern about how they would teach their children to address conflict and doesn’t want them to try to get their point across by blowing up. I don’t think that he was trying to change who she was as a person, instead give her feedback on better managing those emotions and behaviors.

      I also feel, regardless of his "computer " personality, that it is a worry to censor your own feelings because of your partner's highly emotional state/tendency. It becomes unfair and challenging as you'll often be the person that tries to comfort than be comforted. That was honestly my biggest concern in their relationship as I can relate with mine. I've become a computer because of my relationship with someone so emotional.

    That is exactly what I thought about Milton. I noticed that he was a listener. It was apparent to me that he wasn't trying to sell himself or trying to convince someone to like him with fake small talk chit chat or banter, the fact that he found her weakness as a strength and something he admired in her and wished he could be more like her, I loved Milton after that. I love that he doesn't take things that seriously, he doesn't put up with her shit and puts his foot down, the fact that he defends her to others is so admirable. I think Lydia genuinely just wants to be loved and cared about. At first I found Lydia's emotional reactions to be a little over the top and it made her seem she may be disingenuine at times, but by the end I believe that Lydia never had any ill will towards anyone and only acted out of love and because she cared. I think Milton is a honest person and he tells the truth no matter what. I think he would not be able to get along with Lydia is she were not the same way. I think he admired the fact that she is also very honest but finds it fascinating that she expresses her feelings so emotionally. I think the fact that Lydia is so emotionally honest with her feelings is what attracts him to her. I think if she was disingenuine at all, he wouldn't be with her. I think that is why Uche had felt bad about how he had treated her when they had dated which is why he had cried when he was talking about her to Aaliyah. I think Lydia does her best and the best she know how to be supportive and to love and care about someone else. I think in her mind she treats people how she wants them to treat her, so she is so over the top being the supportive friend, or hurt lover that she doesn't realize how desperate and needy it actually makes her look and that it turns most people off. I think she got lucky that Milton admires her for being that way.

    • @UTubeSporaticUser
      @UTubeSporaticUser Před 6 měsíci +1

      I don't think Milton was trying to act superior or contempt when talking about how she reacted to the situation. I think he just thought that she could have handled the situation better. Milton is very prepared and thinks about his actions before he does them and thinks of the best possible way to handle situations before acting on them. Lydia just reacts on emotion without thinking. I think Milton just wishes she had thought it through before reacting on the best way to handle the situation. I think he is just calling her out on a bad decision she made and telling her that she could have handled it better.

    i know i’m late & this may not even count, but the scene with the black pants & Lydia wanting them to match, i remember saying aloud, “don’t give in. stand your ground.” i wanted him to assert his dominance over his own body. yes there is an age difference, but that doesn’t mean that he’s incapable of making his own fashion choices or having & voicing his own opinions in their partnership. that was a very important line to have been established very early on as it would serve as a template for how they would proceed with like situations. the way she was talking to him sounded very demanding & laced with the tone of “listen to your mommy.” i appreciated his self assuredness in that moment. i also cheered audibly when he made the decision verbally & cheered even louder when he wore it to the beach. proves that he isn’t easily swayed; we only saw moments of them when they were in the hotel & he could have been persuaded then to change. but he didn’t! i love his mind.

    Hi Steph, psychology student here. Wondering what you think about this, but maybe Milton didn't mean Lydia was being overly emotional, but overly aggressive at expressing her emotions. You can feel mad, disappointed, frustrated, etc. in a very strong manner and still not scream, shout and say things in a hurtful manner, but rather try and regulate your emotions and express them in a morr assertive way. I don't think he was trying to judge her for being overly emotional but rather for lacking assertive skills to express thode emotions in a calmer manner without attacking him
