Days after, Crawley maintained she”was made conscious of a’mutual’ announcement at precisely the exact same time” because their lovers. “Speaking for myself, my goals with this relationship have always been very apparent, so the truth is I’m crushed. This was not exactly what I expected or hoped for and am still trying to process this,” she wrote in an Instagram announcement of her , admitting that her relationship with Moss”was not ideal.”

Perhaps… but he can also kind of get a flavor of what Bachelor Nation can do to someone and say,’You know what? I do’t want to get tied down right now and I wish to experience all this.’ I mean, the pessimist in me is saying it is probably not going to work out”

They finally realized that maybe they did move too quickly after all.”
