My almost week old son parties from 2-6am, so the single life became the last show I needed to catch up on. Iβve always disliked Tania. I didnβt like who she tried to be or how she acted towards others. But damn. Watching her cry about wanting kids and a future with Syngin got me. When she said βI donβt get the whyβ about not growing up together and having kids made me hug my little man tighter. I felt like such a failure until I had my baby, and I imagine she feels something similar. I just did not expect to feel for her with this episode
Someone on here called it a β90 day fiancΓ© sponsored open relationshipβ which I agreed with, but after watching the most recent episode of the Single Life I think I actually do buy the breakup. They had very emotional, genuine responses to him leaving.
Itβs also interesting that she was open to moving for him and continually told him to put himself first and he ended up depressed because he kept putting her first despite her warnings.
I still donβt like her tho.

I did not expect to have so much empathy for Tania and Syngin! I've been in their situation. My husband and I decided it was time to part ways. We started planning our separate lives. Hearing them talk about wanting to kiss each other but knowing it isn't healthy brought me to tears. It was SO HARD for me and my husband to split when we still loved each other.
The good news for me is that we worked it out. Surprisingly, this dumb show reminded me of that pain and how grateful I am to have come through that hardship stronger.
To be clear, I do not think Tania and Syngin are good for each other and they should sever ties. But I feel their pain in this episode.
That's it. Love you, hamily <3
I feel really bad that Tania and Syngin are separated. My honest opinion of this is that I donβt really care for either one of them but I feel for Tania as a woman.. I know it mustβve been hard seeing him leave like that especially when they were still connecting sexually! Which that was a HUGE! Mistake! I donβt think Syngin should of came to America. I think maybe if they maybe dated a little longerβ¦ I still think they would of gotten married. Syngin is lazy as hell and shouldnβt be with anybody!! But I feel he tried in a way and it all comes down to this thing right here. Tania said syngin was not her soulmateβ¦and that right there made him give up in some kinda way. I know that would hurt me and it clearly hurt him. I feel at that moment negative emotions were amplified and thatβs because of her own dumbass comment that made no absolute sense, saying she feels she already met her soulmate.. girl shut the hell up.. she was trying to sound so woke and conscious explaining herself. I blame her for where this marriage went because she did it to herself stepping into it saying thatβ¦ a piece of him died when she said that..But again, I feel for her as a woman and spending that time being married and got absolutely nothing out of it.
My initial impression on her was that she was a bad friend for staying neutral, which is of course the truth. But upon watching it further, it seems to him sheβs in an abusive (or at the very least toxic) situation as well. Her partner calls women bitches so clearly thereβs a level of misogyny, heβs a huge supporter of Sean, his childish behavior towards Tania at the birthday party, and her fearful and sad look knowing that she was pregnant that she covered up with excitement. Like Alexβs mom, maybe she didnβt recognize the abuse for what it was because she was being actively abused.
