Alright, info about Alyssa.

She's commented about her 20 year history of anxiety, panic attacks, being on medication and in therapy. Every sympathy for anyone struggling with their mental health, but that combined with her ongoing divorce, I don't think she ever should have been selected for mafs. Far too much pressure. I think it's irresponsible of the production to her and to Duncan.

Which is sad but plenty of people have terrible upbringings , awful things happen to them and don’t act like a complete prick to others

Although I agree with you about more due diligence being done re contestants mental health (on all and any reality show) I still have little sympathy for her.
I apologise if this makes me look like an arse, but I just don't believe her. I've mentioned before about sadly being experienced with Narcs, my mother is one and my childhood was hell.
Alyssa has more red flags than I've ever seen on anyone (including Harrison) and sadly anxiety and mental health is something they come out with when they have nothing else in their arsenal.
SPOILER SELF HARM/suicide
They also tend to come out with suicide/self harm baiting as a last resort. For example 'if you don'tcome back I'll kill myself
If she comes out in the press with 'my self harm hell' I wouldn't be surprised.
I'm sorry if this is a downer but I've really been surprised about how obvious the red flags were there for Alyssa/Harrison/Melissa this season. I just hope people who watch it will be able to recognise it and be forewarned when they meet a Narc irl.
Xxxx

Oh no, I have zero sympathy specifically for Alyssa, she's awful in every way. I just think she should have never been on the show, they really did a disservice to Duncan. I don't know enough about her otherwise. Very familiar with another thread here which covers narcissism, the victimhood, and domestic abuse in detail, but still just surprised that she somehow passed the vetting process.

Did Whoreman really not think there could be a chance Duncan would dump her? After her behaviour?

Complete narcissist. Their brains work differently. She thought he should say 'yes' SO HE SHOULD SAY YES. That's why she started shaking her head. It wasn't processing for her. She didn't understand.
She also thought he would chase after her, which is why she stormed off.

Wonder if she does regret any of her behaviour now watching it back.

I highly doubt it. She couldn't see it any week the experts were telling her her perspective was wrong. Even if she came out and said she saw the error of her ways I would just call it damage control and not believe her! She didn't accept responsibility once during the ixperimint for their duck ups. Not a hope does she regret her behaviour!
 
I almost feel sorry for her because I think it's really obvious that she's absolutely desperate for someone not to 'give up on her' but I just can't actually sympathise because she's so nasty. A lot of people have trauma and damage and they don't take it out on other people. Duncan has been nothing but patient and kind to her and the look on her face when it started dawning on her that he was going to leave her, she was just completely in disbelief? It's also just bizarre because at the home stay, the tone she used when saying she could only see him every other weekend etc was like she wasn't even bothered about the whole thing anyway. I totally get having anxious attachment issues is hard but when you treat someone like tit over and over and over again they're allowed to leave you.
