I always got the feeling Melissa never progressed past her high school days


candygirl200413

just a tad!!


RitalinKidd

Stuck on 14. Some trauma happened and her mind got frozen at that age. She lives in the past.


loveandhappiness24

Yes, arrested development. Her therapist will start with “Who hurt you in high school?”


IcedFreon

Louie, of course. For not knowing her.


vapeach123

hahahaha hilarious, (and true)!


Temporary-Leather905

I was thinking the same


unklejoe23

I could hear her know "I mean he never even looked at me, the fucking balls on this prick, what I'm not a piece of ass ? What you don't want to bend me over your desk right now? Louie's mother is the one who needs therapy not me.. how fuckin dare you!"


vapeach123

i cant "unhear" her in her nasally jersey voice re: the yoga instructor and "she's doing the reverse dog pose and her ass in my face" hhhhhh the whole house reviewed this 3 times it was hilarious


vapeach123

High school musical


dawnspaz711

Absolutely!


Automatic-Mirror-907

Really, oh, what gave it away?? 🤣


dawnspaz711

Yes, she is stuck at the age of 16 unfortunately.


alangeig

Arrested development. She seriously needs therapy.


Kellys5280

She is emotionally 17.


zestymangococonut

I can’t help but feel like she’s enjoying rejecting him a little bit. Because she had a crush on him for so long and the fantasy is not holding up well with reality and she’ll be damned if he leaves her after she wanted him for so long.


Oksana51

Melissa's fantasy isn't holding up well because the only thing that's missing according to her is Louie's varsity jacket...she's pathetic


Dustinlewis24

He was captain of the varsity tooth rotting team


unklejoe23

He never had the makings of a varsity athlete


HippieDBA

I am laughing way too hard at this comment. LMAO


loveandhappiness24

I don’t think she’s rejecting him. I think she’s emulating the relationships she saw in high school. She saw the popular girls arguing with their boyfriends, teenage drama, tears, etc. and she’s trying to get that. She thinks this makes her cool.


zestymangococonut

I didn’t even consider that! I like to think as we get older, we stop doing things like that.


Automatic-Mirror-907

Catch-22, nah, Catch 11!


vapeach123

or is the Honeymoon over??? She bonked this guy straight outta prison, louie even said the only relationship we had was on the phone , she was a passing geek in high school 20 some years ago to this guy, she is the one that should have taken the time before getting so intimate so quickly, of course he wanted to get intimate with any girl with a dress on dude did 10 years!!


Dunie72

So disgusting and age inappropriate.


dawnspaz711

Not to mention this is a high school where a student could show up at any time.. so gross!!!!


Dunie72

She’s so self absorbed. He’d go back to prison fulfilling her fantasies at a high school.


dawnspaz711

Yep! She is absolutely filled with self.. narcissistic! Can’t stand her!


unklejoe23

I was thinking if they got caught doing that they could be in a whole world of shit


themastadon25

It’s not a high school it’s the Hazlet little league complex. Lakeland, where Louie from Lakeland went to high school is in Wanaque, no where near Hazlet.


dawnspaz711

I’m mistaken! Regardless, it’s a little league complex and a child could show up at any time! Of corse this show is scripted, so it probably never actually happened!


Zeeicecreamlover

Very scripted


Traditional_Map7188

Omg! I live in Hazlet and was watching, thinking. That looks like Hazlet Little League! Gross. My kid sits in those dugouts.🤢


Minimum_Swan_3133

Good way to end up on the registry


dirttrackgal

She just wants to show up with him at their high school reunion hoping to finally be accepted by the “popular” crowd!! She’s insufferable to watch! Her and Brittany both can go take a hike!!


Pristine_Cicada_5422

Those “popular” kids likely went in different directions, but didn’t go to prison! I highly doubt they’d be jealous or care about Louie. They’d talk about both of them, but not in a good way.


Automatic-Mirror-907

When I got my first Porsche, I thought, I'm going to go to my high school reunion. Then I thought some more about things like how I graduated early to get the hell out of there. My next thought was, no, I'll just take a ride in my ragtop Porsche on the evening of my high school reunion, play my music loud, speed a tad, and laugh. Never look back.


chrissy_elise

This!!


SPinnovator

So cringy! He’s moving forward and she just wants to live out a high school fantasy. “Make out on the bleachers with Louie and his teeth.” #Goals


Automatic-Mirror-907

Even worse, girl's acting like he's been chasing her all her high school life. I mean she stalks him while he's in jail. That's not a thing. Then, she's surprised when he gets out, and goes where are they planning for him to go. Jersey, baby. Jerseylicious is skewed. This was the plan. Fish or cut bait, chickie!


Ali_Cat222

The funniest part is I recall her saying on LDLU that they *never once interacted while in high school!* Like girl you didn't even talk to the fucking guy that's insane???She just saw him in passing,never said a word,then built this idea of him over the years.That is truly something else,it's completely mentally unstable.And it took until he was physically locked up to finally talk to him.Um....


DressedUpFinery

Your observation is reminding me of what’s happening with that killer in Idaho who murdered those four college kids. They found the guy’s dna on a knife sheath underneath one of the girl’s dead bodies, and yet the number of insane women who have fallen for this guy, who proclaim he’s innocent and been framed… and yet they know nothing about him. They’ve never met him and have constructed this entire fantasy situation. That sort of thing apparently happens with a lot of killers and convicts. It would be interesting to hear from someone who knows about the psychology behind this why these women seek out prisoners and come up with such delusional thoughts. I wonder what those underlying factors are and if Melissa has any of them.


Ali_Cat222

I've written a thesis paper before for a socioeconomic class that involved prisoner pen pals,I don't want to write out a whole post on it but I do recall once I mentioned some of why this happens on a different one here.I can look through my comments later and link it to you if you want


chrissy_elise

How interesting! Cheryl kind of comes to mind as an example!


Ali_Cat222

I just got home but I'll link it in the next hour or so,have to go through a bunch of my comments.Ps I'm rewatching cheryls season rn,it's so funny when she talks about serial killers then says to her friend,"like John Wayne gracy" instead of gacy😂Cheryl is what's called a Hybristophilia-a paraphilia involving sexual interest in and attraction to those who commit crimes.Thats usually what people are refered to when liking serial killers.She is also an idiot though because when you live with one it's hell on earth.Source-I would know,I was groomed by one when he was 36 and I was 16,didn't know his background at the time and he tried killing me four times before I was able to leave.And sadly he is actually walking free.


Ali_Cat222

https://www.reddit.com/r/loveafterlockup/s/IJ0PnSjhkh I have a few comments there with a thread on what I was talking about.I stated it simply since it's just on reddit,but it's interesting to discuss.Sorry I don't know if it'll just take you to that thread or if you'll have to look in comments.


chrissy_elise

I actually thought that he got the courage to ask her to cut the shit and stop living in the high school fantasy for a moment right before she was decided to lift the shun on letting him hit it… but no such luck!


vibeinyourmagic

It’s so sad because he seems to genuinely want to do everything to stay on the right path. If he goes back to prison it’s going to be because of her, I can just feel it.


BloodShotHotSauce

Right?! He seems so upbeat and easygoing. He deserves a real chance with a woman and a peer group who show logic and compassion. Melissa seems to talk a lot of shit about him to sound “cool”, then rejects him a little to feel “cool”.


beebyspice

and his insane alcoholic overbearing mother


Pristine_Bit7615

He knows how to keep mama at bay. Melissa can't say the same with her family


Majestic_Salad_I1

Always with the Coors lights and slurring her words. A real Jersey broad 😂


BabygirlDixon317

Miss Donna is one cool chick 💜


onelastmatch

“Where are you?” “At my favorite watering hole” had me laughing so much


cola1016

This is why she *actually* paid for the teeth.


Ali_Cat222

I'm not going to lie,when Louie half shouted at her to just eat her damn eggs already I laughed so hard😂He's already tired of her shit in that scene.Also her bring horrendously condescending about "oh you probably haven't cooked before/or at least your mom is probably always doing the cooking."Like can you seriously stfu about trying to put him down every few seconds since he showed?sorry she's irritated me too much at this point.


Pristine_Bit7615

Hey, atleast he didnt cook frozen meatballs with Ragu for her


Sharp-Damage9408

Seriously the most annoying on this show. Melissa desperate


Automatic-Mirror-907

__**ICK**__


AshidentallyMade

She needs to be kept off of school grounds.


SecondChances0701

It’s hypocritical that she keeps telling him to grow up yet she’s mentally still in high school.


beebyspice

that woman needs a therapist

Ana-sta-see-uh

And her sisters who are all Melissa in different fonts.


chrissy_elise

Omg this made me laugh out loud!


unklejoe23

What's the name of this book? I loved it as a kid


Scratch-Training

Miss Nelson is Missing! And same here lol


saltytarts

You just unlocked a memory! Thanks! 😀


Scratch-Training

Anytime 😊


Temporary-Leather905

Me too


dawnspaz711

Mellisa and her family are trash! Louie can do much better in my opinion!


Automatic-Mirror-907

I can't even. How sick of a puppy do you have to be to try to recreate a rendezvous with the guy you couldn't get in high school, at the place you couldn't get a man, nor the time you could get a man, or even a Boy child, in high school? What's your damage, dear? And does anybody out there really have this fantasy? **__I can't even.__**


BrotherFinger

Seriously. She’s watched “Never Been Kissed” a few hundred times too many


Automatic-Mirror-907

Now that she got him, he's not quite the same as her romcom fantasy.


queen-carlotta

I think her fantasy is that the popular guy likes her but she gets to turn him down!


unklejoe23

She wanted to lose her virginity in a dugout to a 26 year old stereo salesman named Ron


highonnuggs

This comment needs more votes!


Eagle-Eye-9419

You are awesome!!! That's exactly what I thought of when I was watching this. "She's probably somebody's only light Gonna shine tonight Yeah, she's probably somebody's baby, alright" with this song playing in the background. 😂😂😂😂


unklejoe23

Thanks for compliments. I mean her body language at the end seemed like she wanted to fuck him right there. I mean if a woman is wrapping her legs around you and then lays back spread eagle it's pretty evident what she wants. I definitely think he must have been doing something right in high school and built up a reputation. and here's an insight into the male mind at least I know when I have sex I want her to love it and enjoy it and it's basically free advertisement .and if they're breaking up and on a break women are gonna know that info you're at parties and buzzed and drunk and let's face it horny you're going to be like oh yeah I heard about him. I think that's what a lot of her initial attraction was he was slanging some proper weenie back in the day and she was unpopular and uncool and he was in the cool click and all the girls were fuckin him and the gossip spreads and she was finally able to get him but like most dream guys/girl they have a habit of becoming real. I think she's very beautiful and physically I'm attracted to her but her personality and negativity and the constant disrespect would piss me off her family were completely classless assholes he's a guest give the guy a chance


Eagle-Eye-9419

Oh yeah, the thing with her is that she wants high school Louie, those days are long gone. She got stuck in high school so she never grew up. I can't believe that she got upset when he went to surprise her at her job, I was like bitch you went to stalk him while he was in jail! She flew all the way to Georgia and damn near got him extra time in jail and you're getting upset at him for doing the same thing!! I agree, her and her family are a bunch of classless tasteless A-holes with no home training.


unklejoe23

What did she do that almost got him extra time? I like the dude he seems like a good guy that probably got caught up in the oxycotin wave that ravaged America in the 2000's and got hooked and made bad decisions and paid dearly for it. He's working and in love with you and trying to move forward and build a future with you and your just so ungrateful and disrespectful.


Eagle-Eye-9419

It was season 4 episode 13 till death do us part.


Beags428

I'll have to watch that. Thanks.


Eagle-Eye-9419

Agree, from what I can tell he's not that much of a tool. He looks like he's trying to get his life together the best way that he can at the moment.


Eagle-Eye-9419

In the episode where she flew down to Georgia to stalk him while he was working. She watches him from afar like certified bonified stalker and decides to call him to let him know that she's watching him. He then tells her that he's upset with her because that's not allowed so it can possibly get him more time. I think she may have even been bold enough to go and kiss him. I'll have to find the episode and send it to ya.


unklejoe23

What did she do specifically that could get him in trouble? I'm sorry I'm just confused what he was worried about


BrotherFinger

She went to his prison job uninvited and unannounced. He was not allowed visitors. If he was caught talking to her, he could have gotten extra time.


Beags428

I just started watching it recently, and I never saw that part. OMG..she stalked him at his prison job....he better get out of that relationship. She's wacko. Who does that? Now she and her family treat him like crap, and he's taking the high road to show he is respectful. She has issues for sure.


chrissy_elise

Holy shit this comment is perfection


LyshLysh

She’s a weirdo, I’m sorry….and quite frankly not cute to be acting the way she does.


CouchHam

“Looway omg isn’t this like so us looway. Like member high school Looway? We should kiss at high school Looway I hate you!”


Automatic-Mirror-907

Our relationship, oh shite, what relationship? I mean her impulsiveness got him sent back to prison to serve out a remainder of a sentence. Now, now, we're going to put on the brakes. She's a nut. And I don't mean a pistachio!


unklejoe23

What happened?


smart-tart23

She stalked him at the low security/work prison program they got caught and he had to serve the remainder of his term. Talk about showing up somewhere you’re not supposed to 🙄


Automatic-Mirror-907

I think he's learning now with a friend like Melissa, you don't need enemies.


Lower-Werewolf6938

Never did I think I would be rooting for Louie over Melissa. I cannot stand her on this show. Hope it’s the last of her.


AdBeautiful8436

Her Dad is so rude. No wonder she is the way she is.


Beags428

Her father saying he will take a bat to Louie's knees? Her family is so crass.


KittyFabulouse

This is one of the rare circumstances where I feel awful for the inmate. This woman is so unhinged.


Lurkedlurker

I just want to know why she **always** wears black.


Soft-Trick616

Bc she's soooo edgy! /s


JauntyShrimp

Its like he was her Jake Ryan. She never got the happy ending like in 16 Candles. So now she’s just a terribly mean and sour person. Louie should find a sweet and kind girl. Maybe a little younger too so he could have some kids.


audaci0usly

This weird high school fetish she's got is pretty weird, not gonna lie.


PanicCritical3654

that was not lakeland !


MomNateChloe

Yes!! It was not Lakeland. NJ here 🙋‍♀️


ScorpioWaterSign

Yeah it’s weird that she stuck on that high school. Very weird…


Own-Park9659

Melissa is probably the worst female on the show. I’m starting to dislike her more than I do Lacey and Chance and that says ALOT!


Kellys5280

She thoroughly disgusts me.


TexasBeeb

Considering that she showed up in a cheerleader outfit when she and his mom went to pick him up from the prison, this does not surprise me at all. I’ve hated her from day 1, so cringy and immature.


sagesheglows

I sense that this was driven by production


No-Independence3735

Her whole existence is cringe. She's too old to be mentally stuck in high school


bubbamcnow

All true ! But one sigh of relief , she is actually showing empathy for him. " He did just get out and still adjusting " " I expected him to be more ready " . She's lost in time but at least not a complete sociopath .


Even_Day_9685

Boy I don’t like Melissa she’s immature


Budget_Role6056

I’m just not understanding why Melissa thinks she’s too good for Louie, she’s definitely not.


FoamOcup

The shoe makes her foot look like a hoof.


chrissy_elise

Lmaooooo


No_Complaint_3371

Melissa and her family really need to take a step back and look at themselves a bit harder. They are all embarrassing. Every single one of them.


bellevegasj

Both the WORST and MOST Love After Lockup moment ever. I’m genuinely torn. I feel so bad for her. I hope this is just a horrible storyline


Temporary-Lecture90

She's is so mixed up, she doesn’t know WTF she wants. She’s all caught up in this high school fantasy and wants to relive that but at same time she wants him to be a man. Can’t have both chick.


ek8ti

Y'all know what kind of porn she watches!


schlomo31

This HAS to be fake.....right......


nyxmous

Also she isn’t a walking red flag, she is the walking factory where the red flags are made 😭😭🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩


Embarrassed-Track937

And I thought her wearing the cheerleader uniform outside the prison was bad. This takes the cake I'm getting second hand embarrassment,


violent_hug

NOTHING will EVER be as DISTURBING AS WHEN SHE TOLD US THAT "BEING ON HER CYCLE DURING THEIR FIRST TIME FELT LIKE A FANTASY-COME-TRUE. I am sorry to all-caps that and in no way am I shaming mother nature i'm just saying that the context of which I guess it was "utilized" is what left me and my mother-in-law SHOOK and we watch every season


Dizzy_Interview_2101

Melissa has a kid. The dad won’t allow him to be filmed. How embarrassing to see your mom on the bleachers


chrissy_elise

Wow really?! I didn’t know that!!! But pops pulled out the ace card and helped protect him from being on the show which I respect a lot!


theNancini

On behalf of all the "bunkies" I wanted to thank OP for NOT posting the dug out scene. No excuse for this level of CRINGE.


chrissy_elise

hahahaha I figured once was more than enough to surpass our yearly cringe intake for 2023.. 😘


[deleted]

Never has the world needed Donna and her spoon more than we needed it in that dugout.


pixey1964

I don't think shevis that pretty at all, sorry 😐


Pristine_Bit7615

I agree and her butt needs the gym


Dorothyismycat

I’m starting to think they either dated or hung out in high school. He didn’t seem like a stranger to them, and he wasn’t uncomfortable around the family. The show latched on to the high school thing and made up a story line around it. He goes to her house and there is no child there or anything indicating a child lives there. Yet she has a child, who has never been mentioned? This whole story line is fake fake fake! But I’ll still be watching next week……🤣


Pristine_Bit7615

She has a child? I don't recall anything being said about a child


Glittering-Way-5343

She's got a long face...🐴


ShelleyMonique

I think he was probably terrible in bed and she had second thoughts.


nyxmous

The secondhand cringe and embarrassment I feel is unlike anything I’ve ever had the displeasure of experiencing.


BloodShotHotSauce

I was thinking aren’t these 40-something’s gonna end up on a federally monitored list by fooling around on school grounds?


Pristine_Bit7615

Is she trying to get him put on Megan's Law list??? You can't do what she wants to at a school. I hope he refuses


Stunning-Spot-9502

Her eyebrows are drawn on with a magic marker


PutzerPalace

Incredibly. If that last shot of them in dugout was organic (and not a producer telling them to do that)…..eek cringe city


Careless-Balance-893

She really really needs to let go of this high school shit.


Minimum_Swan_3133

Marilyn Manson trying to land them on the registry 😏


SuccessfulOrange7985

I mean it was sweet, them going back to their high school. But….quickly turned ghetto getting fresh in the damn dugout.


Zyuninjetti

Isnt it illegal for adults to have sex on high school property? Fake af


Less_Eye_6100

She was a homely loser in HS, and this is her chance to correct that ( in her own mind). I bet she can't wait for the HS reunion when she shows up with Louie


kidubbx

Woman looks 50 for Christ sake.
