Fans Were Firmly On Team Theresa

From the moment Gerry and Theresa announced their split in April , I noticed devotee ofThe Golden Bachelorseason 1took Theresa ’s side in the stock split . Though most people decided to unwaveringly be on Team Theresa , she was just as responsible for for the divorce as Gerry was , and it ’s not fairish to put the rap entirely on him . The bottom line is that Gerry and Theresa got carried off by the vibraphone , and let themselves be rushed into an ill - apprise married couple .

As the locution goes , it takes two to tango , and both Gerry and Theresa did quite a little of dancing .

Theresa Should Have Been More Open To Moving

She Knew Where Gerry Lived

Gerry and Theresa cited unreconcilable differencesas the reason for their divorcement . The Golden Bachelorseason 1couple simply could n’t make up one’s mind on a post to survive . Theresa , who hold up in New Jersey , was loth to move away from her crime syndicate , and Gerry , who populate in Indiana , was n’t eager to leave his family . Though neither of them want to move , Theresa agreed to be on the show to be with Gerry , who she knew live in Indiana .

If Theresa was n’t uncoerced to bequeath New Jersey , she should never have agreed to be onThe Golden Bachelor .

While manyBachelorNation principal attempt to make the most of their newfound celebrity , Theresa has eschew the spotlight , and prefers I feel she prefers a still secret life .

die through a public divorce was difficult for Theresa , but I think she seemed to be truly happy to be focusing on her family , career , and beautiful garden now .

Though it ’s with child that Theresa is happy , it ’s not mediocre that Gerry remain to be blamed for their divorcement . Theresa is just as creditworthy as Gerry for the betray matrimony , because she knew what she was get into when she decided to appear onThe Golden Bachelor . Since Theresa has forgiven Gerry for the split , it ’s time for everyone else to forgive Gerry too .
