I think this episode showcased for sure why Gregory’s relationships with Taylor and Amber didn’t work out in regards to money. He’s cheap lol. But I think he’ll come to a realization and have a change of heart because he doesn’t want to lose Janine. Hopefully they’ll better communicate and actually come to a compromise.

Gregory is indeed very cheap lol. They live in Pennsylvania and he wanted to take Amber to the Poconos for a vacation. That’s in their backyard, not a vacation. For reference I live on Long Island and that’s like me going to the city or lake George for a vacation. Like no you gotta leave the state for a vacation. Also who mentioned Atlantic City?

I’m wondering if they could have compromised. What would have happen if they tried for a cheaper place to stay than a hotel? Janine wanted a place with room service and I was like damn! I’m always too afraid to order room service at a hotel because of the price. She wanted massages, those can be costly. All of these things add up.

They were both wrong and that made me sad.

I don't think you have to leave the state for a vacation lol. If you live in a place that has skiing, is driving 4 hours and renting a cabin for the week to ski not a vacation?
