Courtney and Scott do NOT belong together


They are both jerks. Courtney's "second virginity" is totally bogus and completely unfair to Scott, who is obviously someone who needs sex in his relationships...but by living with him, she completely deprives him of that. This recipe is only going to lead to him cheating on her.

At the same time, Scott is being awful with his highly chauvinistic attitude, not even wanting to hold his kid, and not sharing one whit in the baby-caring responsibilities. Even if Courtney did allow sex, Scott is doing absolutely nothing to make himself attractive to her.

Courtney needs to move out and see a lawyer and get Scott's paycheck garnished, because that is pretty much all he's good for is making money. They will be a lot happier apart with Scott free to see others and Courtney free to raise her kid in a much more loving environment where her abstinence can be a guilt-free choice and not a source of pressure.

I thought you were talking about the Kardashian's for a second there.


It's kind of a difficult situation, the whole no sex thing while living together and especially after she has done it with him multiple times before I guess she just learned her lesson, unlike most of the girls of this show. I see how Scott could be so agitated, but he is Inappropriately directing his anger towards the baby, which is immature and wrong. Goes to show his maturity level, and why kids should refrain from reproducing until they grow up. I am not judging all teen moms, especially since I was a teen mom, and I had to rapidly grow up, get a full time job, my own place and figure out how to pay for child care as the daddy decided not to grow up until several years later. Scott's comments, regarding Courtney not contributing financially, are ludicrous. Her contribution is equal to, if not more than his. Betting he could not handle what Courtney does, especially without help. I know that if I had to stay home with my child all day and not work, I probably would have gone nuts back then, working was like a break from the hard work at home, if that made sense. I was fortunate to stay home with my last and by the time hubby got home, I would serve him his food, he would go to the bathroom/shower and then I would hand him the baby for a couple hours.

I agree she should file for child support, maybe go back to living at home, where she can finally have a little help with the baby and not be pressured into sex or treated poorly, because she chooses abstinence.

I felt bad for Scott and the second virginity. I would be going crazy if I were in that position and I'm a lady!

REPORTED!

I don't think Scott was pressuring her for sex, but rather he was just trying to convey his viewpoint that it was something he wanted and difficult to refrain from. But I don't think we ever saw him pressure her. Like others, I think its unfair shes slept with him multiple times and yet decides to "reclaim her virginity" instead of getting birth control. I feel bad that her religion is making her feel so guilty for having sex, or that she's using it as a reason not to have sex.

I've just watched the episode on MTV and thought "WTF, you dangled the carrot in front of Scott, and are denying him now?" Do I think he could have done more, like just holding his son? Hell yeah! My husband has been a very hands on dad, despite having to commute every day. We always took it in turns to bath our children, and we'd eat in shifts when they were first born (15 month age gap between the two). Yes, I got up at night, but only because I could catch up on sleep during the day!

I was gonna let you *beep* me, but I got my rag, and I know how you hate a mess

Right. Everyone knows that once you have sex with a person, you are obligated to keep doing so. You cannot just revoke consent because you don't want to have sex anymore-- you HAVE to keep doing it. That's why wives can't be raped by their husbands, because consent is a one-and-done agreement.
