      @@alliea8141 Oh wow, your answers don't indicate any problem with Jordy but they sure do indicate a problem with you. That is the most cynical and arrogant answer I have ever seen. You don't even know this man and you're assigning devious and manipulative motives to him, when he has never shown any signs of it that we have seen and yes, Michel is right, we're only seeing the merest hint of what Jordy as a person is like, but everyone around her loves him. Don't you think Michel's parents would see that and guard her from being around a toxic person like that? Put down your own baggage before you comment in a public forum would be my suggestion to you.

      @@miapoe2501 So men are supposed to pay for everything and that doesn't make you beholden to them? Firstly, you've obviously never heard of the feminist movement and secondly, how did you forget that Jordy has paid for things on several occasions, or haven't you been watching the vlogs? Have you forgotten that Jordy has, in past videos, paid for Michel to do things so they could have remote dates and organised for meal deliveries for Michel when he was away from her? He also bought her the (very expensive) flowery top with the big bows that she had rented because she loved it so much? As far as I can see, he has only ever shown himself to be a super thoughtful, super caring amazing guy. I feel so sorry for the men in your life. You are obviously a taker who doesn't realise that every relationship has to be both ways. One sided never works.

      @@marilynelliott3236 Look up covert narcissism and love bombing. He absolutely has shown signs and Michel should be very careful. Also I don't necessarily think her parents would notice. Many people aren't aware of mental health and more covert forms of manipulation, and her parents aren't mental health professionals/don't appear to have any strong knowledge of mental health in general. So I actually don't think her parents would necessarily know/pick up on this in the honeymoon phase, especially if they're more naive. He showed way too much interest too early. The gifts on the first date, $400 shirt just a couple months into dating for no special occasion (especially when he doesn't even have a particularly high income), watching her videos to study her before they started dating, talking on the phone with her for 8 hours at a time, struggling to come up with a real answer about what he likes about her, eating and drinking things around her that would be harmful for her to ingest and acting flippant about it (the coconut water and also several clearly non-gluten free items in the Hawaii vlog), watching her wedding video with her ex on his own months into the relationship, repeatedly talking about how "kind" he'll be to her because Brook wasn't (kind people don't have to announce or even think about intentionally being kind), not to mention how quickly their relationship progressed--that's not normal, and I could provide so many more examples. This looks way more like love bombing and manipulation to me than it does genuine affection, and anyone who isn't telling her to at least keep her guard a little bit up and be looking for red flags (which honestly anyone should be doing if they're only a few months into a relationship) is giving her terrible advice. He's a walking red flag and like Michel said, we haven't even seen most of it. What we've seen alone should make her veryyyy hesitant with him--I can't imagine how many more of these red flags there are that we haven't seen.

      @@mackenziesmith3412 Wow, looks like I better watch out then, because my boyfriend and I did pretty much the same things Michel and Jordy are doing, because we were in a long distance relationship too. We're now five years in and getting married next year and I am over the moon because he is the man of my dreams and we are crazy about each other. I know what a narc is. My best friend has been going out with a narc for five years and they finally just broke up recently and the red flags were popping up everywhere with him. I do agree with you that narcs are problematic and not everybody can see them, but its the other things that narcs do that are the indicators. To me, Brook was more of a narc than Jordy. The undermining behaviour that slowly sucks your confidence away, the lies and manipulation, the gaslighting. Now that is a narc. And, her parents didn't like Brook, and let Michel know that, so they're not too naïve. We've all encountered them via the vids.. they seem like very thoughtful, deep thinking people to me. You only have to look at Michel herself. Watch some of the earlier videos and you can see how unhappy she was, because she really WAS with a narc then. Even when she was presenting a brave face and pretending everything was peachy keen, you could see it in her face. Her eyes were soooo sad. Now, she is glowing, she is confident, she is happy. You'll say, yes, because she's in the love bomb phase, but narcs don't keep that up.. that's just the hook to get you in. Jordy is not self absorbed or egotistical. He doesn't need all of the attention or for the adoration to be aimed at him, in fact he keeps on moving that focus back to her. If you asked a narc what do you do, he would NEVER answer, I'm just a guy and I date Michel". He would be singing his own praises to the hilt. He would never say something like, "If I do something wrong and I cause you pain then they can come at me because I would deserve it. " Narcs are more like, "It's your fault that they don't like me, because you haven't presented me properly". It's never them that's in the wrong, its you. Where do you see any of that in Jordy? Sometimes a kind man is just a kind man and I get the feeling Jordy is just a guy who really wears his heart on his sleeve. I thought his answers were very thoughtful and he is capable of great introspection.

      @@marilynelliott3236 That's great, I'm very happy for you, congrats! I've been in two relationships with narcissists--one overt and one covert. They both started out the same way Michel's did, with tons of love bombing, and I was over the moon--that phase also lasted for quite a long time (longer than Michel has even known Jordy). People around me liked them at the time too. If you go back a long time ago, you can even see that at one point Brook love bombed Michel too. I also don't think her parents always disliked Brook, I believe they started to dislike him later into their marriage when he began to neglect her. But to be clear, I think Brook may be a narcissist as well, and I'm not saying that Jordy absolutely is one--of course not. I'm saying that this behavior is identical to love bombing and, although not every relationship that starts this way becomes toxic/abusive, many do. People with a history of abusive relationships (like Michel's with Brook) are also more likely to end up in another abusive relationship, so they should be especially vigilant for red flags. All I'm saying is that this behavior is not typical of an early relationship, but it is typical of narcissistic love bombing. Anyone experiencing this should be looking out for signs of narcissistic/toxic behaviors, but ESPECIALLY someone who has been in abusive relationships before. Narcissists begin relationships looking like the person of your dreams--they have idealized you and will do any and everything for you. This is until you reach the devaluing stage, which can happen days, weeks, months, or even years into a relationship (yes, the love bombing stage can and does last for years in some cases). That's when the gaslighting, putdowns, etc. begin--they don't happen at the start of the relationship. And no, your description of how a narcissist would respond is only accurate for overt narcissism (and even then, not necessarily). Covert narcissists actually commonly respond exactly the way Jordy did--by putting themselves down and minimizing themselves. It's typically a tactic to get compliments, other times it can be as a form of manipulation to appear humble. I don't think Jordy would be an overt narcissist, and to be honest, they're not as dangerous because their narcissism is pretty easy to spot. I think that, IF he is a narc, he would be a covert one. Covert narcs are very dangerous because their manipulation is very subtle, they often appear very kind and empathetic, etc. In fact, usually only people very close to covert narcs actually experience or see the abuse. And also because it's so subtle, many of the victims may not even realize it's happening--they often end up believing *they're* the ones at fault. I've spoken with people who were married for 20-30 years before realizing that their partner was a narc and was abusing them. I both have a degree in this and, like I said, was in long term relationships with people who had this illness. I know exactly what it looks like, which is why I'm concerned for Michel

    Through the years I watched all the videos with your ex and I noticed how you spent half the time complementing him and lifting him up and he never did that for you, that irritated me a lot! So just the fact that Jordy has such nice things to say about you lets me breath out finally and feel very hopeful and happy for you! I know you are nervous of our response and judgement and I get it, hope all the friends here have 0 judgment and can be just so happy for you :) I know I am

You deserve the absolute world, and it’s so awesome to be seeing this amazing relationship come to fruition. I feel like I’m watching a couple that has been together for years, as their younger selves…like looking at your parents as young adults. Enjoy this life God has so purposefully and wonderfully given you…it’s obvious he was saving Jordy for you and anyone before him was just a stepping stone to shape into who you are today, ready to fully receive the man so obviously made for you ❤️

    I just watched your introduction and paused to comment this. Only you know what’s best for you. I dated someone two months after my divorce was finalized. I posted a picture of him on my Facebook and someone commented “what happened to the one you married?” I knew then moving forward I would protect my peace at all costs. Her and her ignorant self were immediately blocked. You don’t owe anyone any kind of explanation for anything. You are VISIBLY over the moon and finally being treated how you deserve to be treated. If someone has anything negative to say about that, that speaks on their character. The real issues lies within those people and their sad lives. I’m proud of you for creating and implementing boundaries to protect what’s special to you.

      19 mins in - he feels like a younger version of your dad. I swore I would never do any comparing. And I’m not. I hope this comes out right. I used to wonder how your relationship with your ex happened when he seemed to be nothing like your dad who is the dad I wish I had. But Jordy - I get. Jordy reminds me so much of what we know about your dad.
      I will say this - when you left your ex I realized that that tenacity that left even though it hurt - THAT was the result of being raised by a man who taught you how to be loved. I would have stayed and continued to be mistreated.
      Have you heard “God Bless the Broken Road”? It’s a Rascall Flatts song. Listen to it. Please.
      Jordy is definitely a gift from the Lord. Every good gift is from the Lord. He literally hand wrapped you and hand wrapped him and delivered you each to each other. Didn’t you meet around your bday?? OMG he was your bday gift from Jesus!!!

    The way he couldn't find just one answer about his favorite thing about you. And how thoughtful his answer was. He's a keeper. You seem so at ease!! Love shouldn't be fire - it should be water. Calming and reassuring. Easy. Wishing you nothing but happiness! xxx

    I love how you approach what you share online in a very genuine way. Telling us your reservations and boundaries and how you want us to respect them gives us the opportunity to do so. I think, more than any other TH-camr I watch, you approach it as you would with a friend in real life, and I appreciate that.

    AWE---This was an "awe moment" for me! For others too, I am sure. I am typing this before reading other's comment. I love the relationship you two are having. Hopefully it continues, because it is so precious! Glad you introduced Jordy's music. It's very good. Most music I fall for, are songs introduced to me by others. So, I am grateful you shared it with us. Love your trips, and how you share them with us. Let's not compare Jordy with past relations. Because, you can't share this in comparison of your past. He is very uniquely a man full of Love and Joy! His last relationship lost a precious soulmate, for sure! Jordy, thank you, for sharing your current life with us. It's a Blessing getting to know you! Brigitte (age 66) in Tulsa Oklahoma who has watched Michel, way before Michel even dated....her past relation. Love you both, dearly!

    I am SO happy for you!!
    Also, I’ll add, Jordy mentioned how you aren’t “over sharing” on TH-cam and that you share for the benefit of those watching and I totally agree! I still to this day also repeat what you said in a vlog previously when I’m discouraged “if worrying about what other people think is the ONLY reason I’m not doing something, then I’m going to do it!” It really resonated with me and I will carry that with me for many years to come. 😊

    It is so refreshing hearing the both of you talk about Christianity and loving others. I find it’s such a struggle with explaining that I hate religion and I don’t “have a religion”, but rather, I love Jesus fiercely and am changed by Him. So, I love how you described your (individual) faith so eloquently. Praying for this dating journey, and thank you for being vulnerable and introducing Jordy!

    I’m new to your channel and I started off with the video of you speaking on your divorce. I’m currently going through a divorce myself. Thank you.

    The only concern I had was where he stood with his faith, and that you were both “equally yoked”. I’m glad that question was answered.

  • @juliafriesen9577
    @juliafriesen9577 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Oh this is so great. I just love that he notices your 25 diff laughs. For him to even mention that alone is sweet. This makes me happy. It looks and feels like you guys have been together for longer than you have. This reminds me of my hubby and I and we have been together for 13 years :). We used to have friends that would say to us that we made them sick of how nice we were to each other. There's just a lot of kindness and truth and this makes me smile.

    It was nice to meet Jordy! I remember listening to your podcast and wondering how you and your ex ended up together. From what you’ve said about Jordy, and from this video, he seems very sweet. I’m so glad that you’re happy and having fun getting to know each other.

  • @nataliegarcia73

  • @deniseolmstead6415
    @deniseolmstead6415 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My takeaway....he feels he can trust you...based on your character. His remarks about your kindness is that he feels that your advice and your part in his life is coming from a loving, genuine and authentic place. We should all be so lucky to find people in our lives like that. The fact that he values that means he's very aware of how important it is. So good. So nice to see you both together and get introduced to this part of your life. I think this will also give hope to everyone who has ever faced lying and deceit in people they have previously trusted.

I hope you decide to share more of your adventures together, but of course share what ever you’re comfortable with. SO happy you’re having this experience Michel, you deserve this so much.

    So happy for you sweet girl ❤️ I’m so glad Jordy said “don’t listen to my music if you think I’m just trying to promote myself” - that in and of itself shows his character! Not that I ever thought he would do that, but I’m glad he put his foot down on that so emphatically at the very start for any naysayers!

    This is proof that life is too short and there are too many amazing people out there for one to be wasting time in an unhealthy relationship. Glad that she was able to find a person who she can be happy with. Personally for me, it was so hard to leave my 7-year relationship (and it ended on a terrible note too) but fast forward to now, I am married to a man who is a much better match for me and we are happily married with 2 beautiful kids. There's so many positive and great people out there. If you are stuck in a bad place, don't be afraid to leave. Take the time to rebuild yourself (don't rush into another relationship either. You need a solid relationship with yourself before building a healthy relationship with others) and it is a true blessing to be able to discover who you are first before jumping into a long-term commitment.

    You both are outstanding communicators and very honest with each other. I love that Jordy asks to hear your opinion and really values your advice. That is huge in my book!! I watched some of Jordy's music videos out of curiosity and really loved his voice and personality on stage. He is refreshingly different and you guys make a great couple. Best wishes for continued happiness to you both.
