And therein lies the rub. Drew is as attached to his community as Tully is to hers. I am very sympathetic abut her mother, but not the fucking dog. Give me Dougal any day

I would want to see my partner as much as possible too but I sure as heck wouldn't choose a 2 month long relationship over spending Xmas with my family. And I wouldn't leave town and see that new partner when my best mates who I hadn't seen in 6 months+ are in town for a few weeks. Then again even if it was say March instead of during the holidays, I can't really see me flying anywhere when I'm unemployed. The guy is 99% more than likely on the dole as are a few other HMs. I just think people need to step back and realise that Ch 9 isn't paying them to fly back and forth for appearances anymore. If they were both working full time and had been together much longer than 10 or so weeks, then yeah I could understand the expectation they fly back and forth constantly. It's not the case and probably won't be for quite some time.
All of their initial time together was on Ch 9's dime. That gravy train has left the station some time ago now. People who are expecting them to be together every fortnight or whatever other time frame they think is "suitable" for two strangers are going to be sorely disappointed I'm afraid.
Well said.
Why do you think it's ridiculous though? We have zero clue what's going on in either of their lives. If they have job interviews lined up, auditions, classes, other commitments, etc. Both of them are unemployed. They need to rectify that very shortly unless they both have money trees hidden in a park somewhere. We already know she's coming to Melbourne March 22nd for the Caring for Bali Kids gala, which Drew will also be at. Other than that though, we know zilch about anything that's really going on in their lives other than the snippets they show us. She could turn up in Melbourne tomorrow or vice versa for all we know. These people aren't our friends and we know very little about their real lives despite what we may assume.
Agreed - it's all just a bit of fun.
Fair enough but you've been saying the same thing for ages and then every time they show up together again and/or post lovey dovey things on social media you're placated for a bit but if they're not back in the same city within x amount of days again, whatever your x may be, you start worrying all over. Why cause yourself the stress repeatedly only to keep being proven wrong by them? From the looks of it they're pulling way back from social media as far as their private lives are concerned - and who can honestly blame them - so you're only setting yourself up for more grief. Maybe just remove the expectations of how you think a long-distance couple of 10 weeks should behave because these are two unemployed people that we don't even have the benefit of being able to pick up the phone and calling to see what the situation is. If anything I find it really surprising that a few people in here expected them to ditch their families/friends for a new partner at Xmas. If one of your girlfriends did that wouldn't you think she was a bit batshit no matter how "in love" she thought she was? Or if she didn't have a job but was spending money flying every week or fortnight to go see this new guy she started dating?
This is the way I think about this too. I sort of like that they're being so cool and 'grown up'.
