I doubt that. It's what you first said: She's created phony drama. She's
playing the villain. She never intended to get married.

Reality television is entirely fictional.

Of course not. Shit like this doesn't come up in the ordinary course of
conversation unless one is specifically having a political discussion.
Since a married couple would never discuss politics except under highly
limited circumstances, it's not a sign that the spouses are
incompatible. Now, if he's frugal and she spends double their income,
that's an incompatibility indicating they shouldn't marry.

No, she had no intention of marrying him. She created phony drama, then
dumped him.

I'm not quite going to agree with BTR1701 here: If they had gone through
with the marriage, then the two of them deserved each other. Real Men
(tm) don't find love by humiliating themselves on national television.
Actual life is so humiliating, one doesn't need reality television.

Rest of your comments snipped as I generally agree and have nothing else
t add.
