Fans Weigh In on Craig and Paige’s Dynamic
Following the episode, viewers took to X to express their thoughts on Craig’s perspective regarding Paige’s career ambitions. Here are some notable reactions:
“Craig just wants a wife, not Paige as an individual, and that’s the issue,”a fan commented.
“Jesus Christ, Craig. It’s not a ‘submissive’ relationship… it’s just a normal f**king relationship. You either compromise on s**t or realize you aren’t on the same page and part ways,”another fan interjected.
“Paige is once again telling Craig how he feels, and she couldn’t be more clear. Craig just wants what Craig wants… He’s basically pushing her to break up with him,”added a third viewer.
“Craig isn’t innocent, tho. He just wants to be married and wants what he wants,”commented another user.
While some fans noted the inherent differences in Craig and Paige’s life goals, they commended the idea of separation as a sensible conclusion to their relationship.
“Neither Craig nor Paige are wrong for what they want out of a relationship or lack thereof… Glad she finally decided to cut it cause they weren’t gonna come to an agreement,”one fan remarked.
“Paige shouldn’t have to apologize for being strong and independent… I’m pretty sure Paige would’ve loved it if Craig had put his foot down and told her they could compromise on a time frame or be done,”added another.
“So Craig wants a housewife and a woman who only wants to please him? Did he not know Paige? Plus he’s in South Carolina. There are plenty of those women there,”questioned yet another viewer.
“Seeing Paige and Craig still together makеs mе all types of sad… I stand by my girl and putting herself and what she wants from life right now first,”concluded another fan.
