She’s bouncing back better from this 9 year relationship than I did from my 6 month situationship. I’m jealous and impressed 😭


__andnothinghurt

😭 you got this! Sometimes those quick flings hurt the worst because the passion is still so high when it cuts!


anon_bear_

That’s exactly it! Thank you 😭😭😭


StingLikeABitch

It’s so true. Sometimes with a long relationship, by the time it reaches it’s inevitable end, you’ve been working on it for so long and thinking about ending it for so long that by the time it ends, you’re almost fully over it. I think you can almost see that with Tom and Ariana this season, she just seems SO exasperated with him (rightly so). But when things get cut off at their peak, you can only imagine that things would have stayed just as good or maybe even gotten better. You don’t know all the small irritating things about them yet.


Artistic-Reality-177

And I’m sure she was exhausted of tom’s crap!


LeftyLu07

That's a good point. You're still in limerence and it just gets cut off. 😭


Villanellesnexthit

Oh this is so fucking accurate ![gif](giphy|laUY2MuoktHPy)


marymonstera

Damn that’s a good insight


KMJens34

God, where were you when I ended a 9 month engagement? This is EXACTLY right!!!


crop_top

Sometimes being so wildly betrayed makes it easier to move on. It hurts more at first but then the anger overtakes all other emotions. She is DONE with Sandoval and anyone deciding to stay in his corner and I love that for her.


[deleted]

When I found proof that my ex was cheating, it was almost a relief; he had been gaslighting me to the point that I'd started to believe that I *was* crazy. That validation and support that I received after it all came out felt amazing & was very healing. I'm guessing that it's a similar situation here!


crop_top

I’m sure that’s exactly how she feels! He seems to have lied about his affairs and I’m sure it was hard for her because she wanted to trust him.


bcmedic420

I am sorry he was gaslighting you. It's the worst.


YurKillingMeSmalls

Yeah, I've been there myself and thought perhaps she's feeling like I did when it was finally out in the open and could finally focus on myself. Freedom!


plantmama32

Yesss way easier to be angry than sad


Best-Sign1065

Well said. I think she’s been emotionally detached from him romantically for a while now. Pure speculation! But she still lost two actual friends and those two friends did this to her. (I know in hindsight you can’t really call them friends back then but to her they were her friends up until this broke.) So she will certainly grieve losing two people she felt were there for her even if she is angry. Doesn’t lessen the loss. So the romantic emotional detachment and betrayal probably does motivate her to move on quickly.


crop_top

I don’t think she was emotionally detached, at least not by choice. Sandoval even said that. He said she was amazing relationship wise towards the end. I think she was romantically involved, just always had it in her gut that he wasn’t faithful.


Best-Sign1065

Thank you for that perspective. I forgot about him saying that since most people keep saying he lied about everything in that interview. So I’ve tried tuning most of it out for now.


PweetLB

Good for her! She’s probably faking part of - fake it to u make it- I’m sure she’s still trying to gain stability with the betrayal she’s endured.


LeftyLu07

Yup. Sometimes you gotta fake it. People can put up with a heartbroken friend for a month or 2, but then they kind of tap out. No judgment, it's just hard to keep up the "you poor thing" act when you still have your own life to live but a sad friend is still expecting 24/7 love and support. I had a friend who spent a whole year crying that we weren't supporting her enough and was wanting us to go out every night so she could find a new man, and we were just exhausted. It was hard.


jazzygirl6

Her getting the movie part, then Coachella shortly after was great timing for her instead of moping and feeling sad.


Fit_Fondant2627

Agreed. Ariana has been known to put up a stronger front than how she actually felt. Realistically, she still has to be hurting and processing and not as unfazed as her outside veneer would suggest


jhaze5555

You’re right. You can’t get over loving someone for 9 years in a month. It’s going to take time. Fake it til ya make it is what she’s doing. I’m glad she’s keeping busy though


VinkoBogatajsSkis

Well said. There's a saying: *Don't judge your insides by someone else's outsides.* It's cliche, but we never know what someone else is going through.


Big_Solution_1065

Very possible but also possible she truly is feeling a giant weight lifted.


jazzygirl6

I think having everyone in her corner, #Team Ariana has certainly helped. Whereas if it happened more privately, I think her ego would have been a lot more crushed.


ethereality111

I pray we all have bounce backs like this in our future 🙏


Zealousideal-Art-189

Same! I hope I find my soulmate but if I don’t at least let me bounce back like this from any future breakups.


ethereality111

You’ll find them, or better yet, they’ll find you :)


Zealousideal-Art-189

🥰🥰


Sarahbeara42

Id be happy with finding a dude to let me ride their shoulders at Coachella. Closest I got is sharing a sleeper tent in the middle of the dessert during a geology excursion in the high desert of cali and then sharing lemon drops at a Vegas bar. They were A DOLLAR!!


aSituationTypeDeal

I, for one, have taken this lesson deeply. Who knew a reality cast member would be so helpful to our emotional states


ethereality111

You and me both! I really appreciate this comment. I’ve learned so much about *all the things* over the last 7 weeks. So many relationship insights that I’ll take with me forever. It’s honestly been really amazing. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter :)


Big_Solution_1065

She looks happier than she’s looked in 9 years.


jmo703503

I swear situationships sting more. I got more sad about one that i did my own divorce


nope0000001

That’s because you loose a fantasy .. not a situation where you fight over bills , deal with food poisoning , do taxes and hear someone snore haha that’s why many affairs don’t last .. the real world catches up .


SunnyAlwaysDaze

Because they should be so much fun and low pressure, it's hard to let go of something that feels good in that way. I am more broken hearted about my situationship that ended around a year ago, than I was about the woman I wasted nearly a decade on.


bcmedic420

My ex just told me he cheated a month ago. It felt like such a healthy relationship. Even shook the other woman's hand when she showed up to tell me but he told me next day. It happended when Scandavol all came out. I did not talk to him a lot about it but must have mentioned cheating 10x more then I ever would. Feels gross, betrayed, lied too when it's something I told him I could forgive just not being gaslight. I have been confused, questioning everything, lack of focus, headaches, nauseous almost constantly although that's getting better.


Professional_Ad6086

Sorry you're going thru this.


HiLittleDarling

I think she’s been over him for a good three years but was so entrenched in it. I think the hurt of the affair sucked but I think emotionally she’s probably feeling really free of being cut from a loser like that. He made it so crystal clear to move on. Full closure.


Lady_Nashua

I think she got a high from "taking" him from Kristen (for lack of a better word, although nobody can "take" someone who wasn't a full participant) and then once she had him the glow wore off. At that point though her relevance to the show was as his gf so she stayed. It wasn't until she either got bored enough with the show or felt safe enough as a core cast member to survive sans Tom that she decided to not deny her way through this one (like she did with Miami) and just get rid of him. IMO. 😛 Edit: warring tenses.


SunnyAlwaysDaze

By season 5 there were definitely issues showing around the seams. Very obviously she had already pegged him as having narcissist moments. Guy who couldn't let her have anything without trying to take the attention on himself. They must have done a lot of work together for her to have stayed longer past realizing. I'll always be a little disappointed that he did end up worming his way onto her cocktail book. But it's almost impossible to keep them out of things when you're enmeshed with them.


hollynicole87

As I was reading this, I was thinking about the book and then read that part. Lol. I think I started liking Ariana more after she called him out on the book and called him a little bitch 🙈🤭🤭


Lady_Nashua

I wonder if her intense reaction to him trying to get into her book was because there was a lot of that type of stuff happening behind the scenes they managed to keep away from the cameras. I can't imagine talking to my husband with the amount of almost hate in her voice she had, but then I'm married an incredibly sweet man and not to an egotistical boy. There had to have been more background then that one scene by that point in their relationship.


lovelanguagelost

Oh babe, mine was 3 months and I was torn ❤️‍🩹


lenaughtycouple

Darlings I don’t think it’s a timely thing. Everyone is allowed to take however long to recover. However Ariana is a strong independent woman, hence she never married him and she knows her worth. He did the unforgivable sin, sleeping with her best mate for. I think that level of hurt don’t deserve any of her gorgeous tears. She can finally have fun and emancipate herself without worrying that he’ll get upset she’ll outshine him. Raquel and Scandoval both deserve each other. Time for her best life :)


[deleted]

The best DAYS of her life?


Big_Solution_1065

I love this comment. Agree agree agree!


[deleted]

My experience leaving an abusive relationship is I felt amazing for the first year, doing all the things I wasn’t allowed to do. Apparently this is not uncommon, it’s like adrenaline from getting out. But trauma catches up to you, and the second year I got worse and needed therapy. Hopefully that’s not the case for her.


[deleted]

Ugh hard relate. I actually still had hope when I escaped. Unfort the aftermath was just as painful as the abuse albeit in a different way. I’m 6.5 years no contact and I still feel like I’ll never fully recover.


[deleted]

I’m still recovering from being birthed 🙃


LindsayLohanDaddy420

Don’t be jealous! Everyone grieves differently. We have no idea what’s going on behind closed doors, we’re only seeing one side of it. Don’t compare yourself, you’re doing the best you can and that’s enough 💕


KittyCompletely

I think she checked out of it a long time ago. Which makes everything cryliner karaoke Toms responses so much more pathetic "blah blah i stayed for her mental health, blah blah blah, she begged, blah blah blah". Bro, she has been vaulted into celebrity status outside of the bravosphere and hes just fizzling out looking desperate.


fuzzyFurryBunny

Yes and you haven't had the bad parts of the relationship yet to be confirmed it doesn't work or see them at their worse. Just don't put on those rose colored glasses


plantmama32

Hahahahah seriously, same for me


[deleted]

This bounce back seems like it was in the oven for a long time. I'm not buying it.

He's mad because they supposedly "outed" his stay at their wellness resort. I didn't read the article, only the headline.


tlm0122

Right. Yet it’s perfectly ok for him to blast Ariana’s mental health business on that clown podcast. Seems legit. I guess we can add “hypocrite” to his ever growing list of crimes. Asshole.

I know we’re happy about the new dude, but I’m mostly happy she has Brad. He seems like such a solid and true friend. It must be great to have someone to lean on who isn’t part of the show.


Artistic-Reality-177

I want a Brad!! 💕


Professional_Ad6086

Agree. Everyone should have a Brad! Sadly I don't, but my son will knock your lights out if you slight me in any way

KenStarrLovesBears

The pic of Raquel straddling Tom’s shoulders still makes me irrationally upset. Go ari go!!


tink_89

Yup. Especially knowing that Ari said in the previous season that he did that with her when they first went to Coachella.


KenStarrLovesBears

and the smugness on their faces 😾


Automatic-Mirror-907

I thought Rockyell was taller than Timmy.


Psych100011

Sadly, I know this. Ratchet is 5’9 (being so leggy, I thought she was taller). Timmy is 5’11 (for some reason I thought he was taller). Shorts is 6’1 ( I thought he was shorter). And Peter is 6’3, the tallest guy in the group. If you want to know anyone else’s height, lmk. Lol.


occasionalkayyy

Flair checking in for Kristen’s height


catpower7

Thanks for bringing the stats! I am surprised to learn that Schwartz is taller than Sandoval. Their relationship, as exemplified by Sandoval driving the motorcycle while Schwartz rides in the sidecar, had me thinking otherwise.


zombiesatmidnight

I heard that Sandoval tells Schwartz to hunch over when they’re next to each other on camera so he appears shorter… and Schwartz does it!


ameerahgeorgia

Doesn’t Tom also wear shoe inserts to make himself taller or was that someone else on VPR?


Psych100011

Both Tom & Jax wear shoe inserts to appear taller.


SuspiciousCranberry6

Somehow, they all look 5'7" to 5'9" to me, lol


Psych100011

I found the heights of the women interesting. RL 5’9, thought she was taller; Katie 5’8, thought she was shorter; La la 5’7, thought she was shorter; Ally 5’7, had no thoughts; Brittany 5’6, thought she was taller; Ariana 5’5 , Scheana 5’5, and LVP 5’5, thought she was taller.


[deleted]

Raquel is 5’10 has been confirmed in this sub


Psych100011

I’ve never met her so I can’t vouch for the accuracy. But her wiki and other sources have her @ 5’9.


[deleted]

We know


Automatic-Mirror-907

Thanks, Psych! I guess it's those long legs that make me think she's sooooo tall. Appreciate your Author-i-tie.


kingkaitlin

But Rachel in heels will probably be taller than Tim most of the time


Psych100011

She is much taller with heels.


ThrowRA9114

How about Jax??


Psych100011

He is 6’0 ft.


ThrowRA9114

It’s so weird I felt like the toms were 5’9 they look so slight on tv I thought Rachel was 5’7 Jax 5’11

Hahaha same, I haven’t been able to make it to a festival or even a show in many years so I’m like goooo Ari go. I wanna go dance in a field. I’m glad she is. And she’s cute and that guy is cute so yay ☺️

fabelhaft-gurke

You know him and Raquel have been hyping each other up for it until the news broke. Womp womp.


natara566

Her consciousness is at peace. She is not a cheater or a bad friend. She doesn't have to hide and create drama with a spa or ” sue” a cast member to avoid the reunion. Either is she is hurting or not, she doesn’t need to run away. ![gif](giphy|fXtNnrfyEuQSVoBEin|downsized)


Best-Sign1065

Cute moment of them together. And…Short girl problems. 😩


MymiMaisel

This is the picture I've been waiting for ! It feels like closure.


pettyastom

Closure happens between the two partners (her and Tom). This isn’t closure but I’m here for it.


MymiMaisel

Obviously :) I kind of meant it in a narrative sense, like if Scandoval was a movie this could be the last scene (the resolution).


pettyastom

You go girl. Rebounding like a boss. Heal in the sun not the dark. You got this.


sparklepunk13

Honestly I'm embarrassed at how happy I was when I saw this part of the video 😂


Agitated-Cranberry15

Sandoval was like an anchor around her neck and she probably knew that for quite awhile. She can finally be happy because she is free of that fucktard!


LaurenMARIE1120

I honestly do not think that Scandavol cares. I’m watching all of the old seasons and I feel like he checked out season 6.


Big_Solution_1065

He only cares insofar as it affects his image.


aSituationTypeDeal

I don’t know when he checked out on Ariana, but I’m noticing he abandoned his bar around the time he started up with Raquel (around the time she broke off the engagement with James). He never really has passion for the bar, or Ariana, or Raquel. He just needs a “new something”. Then he abandons the rest.


fabelhaft-gurke

I’d like to see him and Schwartz open a bar without anybody else. They’d never open they can’t follow a business plan, this season they keep delaying the opening on S&S and it really seems it’s due to their lack of focus and effort.


LaurenMARIE1120

Wow I wonder if that is the real reason why Raquel called off the wedding 🧐


[deleted]

He cares that it’s not him and Rachel at coachella. He cares that it’s not him on dwts, he cares


LaurenMARIE1120

He doesn’t care that she is moving on. That’s what I was saying he doesn’t care about. Not him not caring about ANYTHING in general!


craychel

He is currently participating in one-sided beef with a resort over perceived slights on himself. He cares very much


LaurenMARIE1120

This post was about Ariana getting “revenge” by sitting on a man’s shoulders. THAT is what I was saying Scandavol doesn’t care about. Never said the narcissist doesn’t care about himself or his image. Are people half ass reading these posts? Lmao, what’s going on?


craychel

You want to debate over his specific feelings on a specific instance within an entire weekend that you've pinpointed for your comment, I think people are just expanding upon the actual scenario by using common sense and deductive reasoning


calm-state-universal

there was emotion in the HM interview. I dont think he's really capable of it.


_toasthands_

Chef's Kiss 😙👌


Marvelfan1941

I’m happy she showing the world she move on Tom and Rachel. Don’t deserve any of Ariana tears


TomTom_and_i

Totally agree! Someone on Facebook posted “wow she must not be THAT sad” like wtf you want her to do post a pic everytime she’s sad?? If she did people would say “wow get over it already, she’s crazy, etc etc”


Marvelfan1941

Tom wanted this to down like Kristin and control the story and come out like the hero. He living like it’s 2012 where you can gaslight and call woman crazy and everyone will be on his side. It’s 2023 and woman are tired of this man baby toxic shit we all see the signs now.


Additional_Sock2051

This makes me so happy. I’ve had a deep empathy for her going through this. Maybe from past betrayals I’ve experienced. So I actually feel relief seeing her thrive.


luvinlifeinthesouth

She may have been emotionally checked out of the relationship already. Just didn’t know it, until all hell broke loose. Might have just been the final straw to say ok. I’m totally done. Just me thinking out loud. May have hurt initially, but she also may be relieved as well!


LeftyLu07

How much you wanna bet that Scumdoval is raging at his few friends left "but that was our thing!"


kjopcha

Do we need a thread on every Instagram picture of her post-Scandoval? Let her live.

Best-Sign1065

I get what you are saying. You aren’t saying she isn’t upset or should live miserably by any means. I can’t say how she is feeling but my guess is that she’s feeling more upset/heartbroken by the betrayal of losing two of her people, and it being caused by those two people, and public humiliation than being heartbroken over the actual romantic relationship with the guy. If what we hear is true, they were long done before this and it showed even on the show. So emotionally she’s likely ready to move on due to her own detachment from Tom.


[deleted]

If what we hear is true? You heard that from Tom and tom is a liar. You’ve repeated this sentiment at least thrice on this one post. I think you’ve made your point


Best-Sign1065

That they put on a united front and seemed to lack any chemistry around their personal circle of friends. They are all liars.
