Kudos for the Rumspringa mention.

Yup.

Hardwick sounds pretty normal here. I mean, you never know in these situations and I'm not really a huge fan of his, but all of this seems to be blown out of proportion.

This is the part that stands out to me...not the fact that she wanted to keep talking to him. Honestly, if he was some horrible abuser, the fact that she wanted to stay is not out of the ordinary in cases like that it seems.

But it's his letter that rings true to me, mostly because I simply heard the guy talk for so many hours largely about himself. Yeah...there were a few tid bits in what she wrote that you could see some truth in, like the being super busy and not wanting to go out, being controlling, etc. But he's talked openly about all those things. But he comes off here pretty much like you'd think he would if you'd listened to him...like a pretty normal guy who seems to have been the one hurt and got strung along by a girl that may have bee using him for various reasons.

Probably because he recently married into serious money...?

I actually hadn't thought about the "why now" part until I heard that his wife and he are now expecting a baby. He's talked about them talking about it but I had not heard him mention it on the podcast yet, though maybe he talked about it in the opening when he does ads and I missed it scrubbing through all that BS. But I'm sure if it had gotten out she would have heard it. Maybe that was the final nail in the coffin as to what pushed for this outing right now?
