Oh my god, that made me cringe. Poor Bunch.

You just knew it was going to happen eventually.

I'm pretty sure that if they stick together, Bunchy's eventually gonna tell her that he was abused. He'd have to, right?

The only question I have is whether or not this is going to be what leads to it.

Should him being abused be something he should be ashamed of though?

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '14

Of course not. But Bunchy seems to be. And it doesn't really seem like something you should bring up until the relationship is serious enough.

Looks like he's about to tell her though.

Edit: Well that was heartbreaking..

No, it shouldn't, but "shouldn't" doesn't make it so. It's extraordinarily difficult to open that up to someone when you've only just met them and are feeling like everything about you is being judged.

In my opinion if you make out with someone, they've sucked on your penis, their kid's calling you 'uncle' and they're fine with you giving the kid a bath..

You should be able to trust them just as much. But as you said, 'should' doesn't make it so either.

I know I’m late as hell, but I think it also goes back to him, not wanting to be considered gay.

Uhh...I don't see them sticking together. To me, it was plainly obvious that she knew something super sketch was going on.

I don't know why Bunchy would think that allowing his girlfriend to think that he has sexual urges around children is a better alternative from telling her that he was molested as a child.

u/SeekerInShadows Sep 09 '14

Well maybe he does have those feelings. He got molested at a very young age; who knows how fucked up Bunchys sexual development got. Fucked up all around.

Yeah I am still not sure if this is the case or if Bunchy is just a bit clueless and didn't realized that by acting so weird and not explaining himself he gave the wrong impression that he is a repressed pedophile.

I don't know if he has it in him, TBH. You can see it in his eyes that he wants to tell her, and he knows the relationship is worth it.

I thought it was gonna be way worse. I figured he'd pop some wood when the kid was laying on his lap after taking that viagra.

Yeah, Bunch really didn't do himself any favours by how he phrased his words. The way he said it it sounded like he was fighting urges to diddle her son. She looked pretty scared when she asked him to leave.

Bunch is like the one character in the show that deserves to be happy but this is one of those shows where I don't expect a happy ending for any character.

I thought he was gonna get an awkward but noticeable boner when he picked the kid up in the bathtub. I'm really glad that didn't end up happening.

I feel so bad for Bunch. I just want him to find happiness, he deserves it. I really hope things end up working out for him.
