Hello everyone. Let’s hop into this week’s episode of Insecure, season 5 episode 3 “Pressure, Okay?!” Whew this was an episode wasn’t it? Let me just say that I personally don’t have any experience with this, as I don’t have children nor have I really dated anyone seriously who did have children, now with that being said let’s discuss it. In this episode, Lawrence is out on a date, and while out on said date he receives a text that the mother of his child, Condola just gave birth. Let’s pause right there, shall we. In what world did Lawrence think it was ok to be dating, starting new relationships when he has an entire new baby on the way. I mean I didn’t even want Issa to have to deal with that drama and they had history, let alone some new woman. Can we talk about this please? Why would Lawrence think it was appropriate to be trying to start a new relationship or any kind of situation when he had a child on the way. Casual sex? ok maybe as long as that is known that that is all it is, but going on actual dates and what not, trying to build a relationship? Too much Lawrence, too much. What do you think? Could you or would you want to date a man who is not necessarily in a relationship with the mother of their child but still has a child on the way? Obviously my answer would be hell no, but let me know what you think. Also in the episode we see how much Condola is truly struggling on her own, despite telling Lawrence that she could do the pregnancy alone and that he could be involved as little or as much as he wanted. Lawrence was out gallivanting around town, living it up with the new job, in a new city and going on dates and having wild sex, while Condola was barely getting sleep or having any kind of real social life. Do we think she was wrong in telling Lawrence that he didn’t have to be involved, and do you think he was wrong by not trying more to be involved? See you next week. From Jaime With Love
