I am seriously so sick and tired of hearing everyone bash Jason and Molly and these are my reasons why:

1. He had to make a serious, life-altering decision in one day. This guy had feelings for two women. Fortunately we don't live in a polgamist society and he knew he would only be able to choose one. While most people we think long and hard about such a decision, the show allowed him only a day. How many of his critics could have made a decision like that under that kind of pressure and expect themselves to live with that choice for the rest of their lives?

2. He was "in love" with Molly. Although in his haste he choose Melissa, he almost immediately questioned his decision. How many of his critics have had strong feelings for someone that they have tried to ignore or run away from? This man was so honorable that he tried to ignore and hide these feelings because he wanted to stay true to the commitment he had made. But is it really right to be angry that he followed his heart?

3. All parties knew what they were signing up for. Given, he did not have to break the new to Melissa about Molly on national TV but they both agreed to be on the show to begin with. They agreed to have their lives and their relationship filmed for our viewing pleasure. On Ellen this morning, Melissa admited that she knew the break up was coming so making her into a deer in the headlights is completely wrong. Although I have empathy for her heartbreak, women get their hearts broken all of the time. Sometimes relationships work and sometimes they don't... Does it hurt more because it televised? If so, she shouldn't have signed on for the Bachelor to begin with.

4. Molly knew what she wanted and she made it happen. Everyone is quick to judge Molly for taking Jason back, but I really respect her for it. I got in an argument Monday night with my friend about the same thing. We all know that guys can be stupid sometimes... girls too for that matter... Life is complicated and love even more so. That is why they say hindsight is 20-20. We all can look back at decisions that we have made that seemed right at the time but in the end we can see were totally wrong. Molly knew her feelings for Jason were true and had a feeling that his for her were as well. She told him he was making a mistake and she was there waiting when he realized that he had. I respect her empathy and forgiveness.

5. Melissa should have known it probably wouldn't last. As they showed in the first recap episode, only Trista and Ryan's relationship has stood the test of time. All of the contestants should know that the odds are against them. So to be upset that she is not going to grow old with Jason is to be expected. The Bachelor is the dating game times a thousand but nonetheless a game. They know this going in...

6. Molly and Jason did not set out to hurt Melissa and they seem to have found love. Who knows if they will be together forever but I wish them the best of luck. It is tough enough to find someone out there to be with and fall in love with. If they have that with each other, who should judge that?

I hope that some of you, and the media, can get a grip and leave this poor couple alone. They don't deserve your criticism.
