Maci and her Ryan obsession


Does anyone else think Maci spends too much of her on-air time talking about Ryan ("Ryne")? She talks to him with her husband, her family, her friends, his family! It's so annoying to me.

One can co-parent without having an obsession with the other. Just seems like she spends most of her time talking about, or thinking about, Ryan.

I get what you are saying, but I think a lot of it has to do with MTV asking her questions about him and setting things up. I bet when the cameras aren't there, she rarely talks about him. Her talking to Jen about Ryan at the bridal shower was a total set up for MTV and I even think they pressed her on inviting Ryan and his g/f over to their house for dinner. This is just my opinion, because I doubt Taylor would be okay with her talking about him all the time, I know I wouldn't be okay with it.

Your theory makes sense.....I sure hope that's the case.

I think it is.

I think it is and I think the same is for all the talk about Simon and Carly all the time.

A lot of people on this board seem to think she still loves Ryan when I really don't see iy at all. I agree with the other poster that MTV asks her to talk about him and seeing a few minutes of a segments of her talking about him doesn't mean sge talks about him all the time. I can also understand her being annoyed that he's just a useless human being in general and as Bentley's father.

What would there be for her to love about him? Hes not good looking, hes lazy, useless, clearly a sociopath and on drugs. Taylor is much better looking and actually a good guy.

People have said that she seemed more spunky with Ryan but that's because she was a teen in puppy love. Typically what Taylor and her exhibit is far more indicative of a healthy happy and stable relationship. Passion and puppy love arent.

I just don't see this whole maci is still in love with Ryan narrative that people on this board are pushing.

I definitely has a lot to do with the producers and cameramen/women. They prompt all the girls to talk about certain topics on camera. But I also could see her talking about him a lot anyway, but not because I think she's obsessed with him or still in love with him. She's seems very happy and content with Taylor. But Ryan is her child's father and he is a big issue a lot of the time so to me it makes sense for her to talk about him pretty frequently.

I don't think she's still in love with him at all. The thing is they don't really co-parent and I think that's why Maci talks about him a lot. Hopefully Ryan is starting to step up now, but I'm sure it's frustrating for her that Ryan isn't there as he should be for Bentley
