Opinion of Paige

I’ve seen a lot of very disparaging Paige posts on here, mostly alluding to Craig being blind sided by the break up. I was first a SC watcher and discovered Paige and SH through winter house, but then got deep into Summer House and like it far better than recent SC. I just started listening to Giggly Squad last year but as an early 40s mom to a tween girl I find it light hearted and funny and very girls girl.

It’s interesting to me that people act like Craig wouldn’t have seen this coming as I was shocked they lasted as long as they did. Paige seemed very open about not seeing herself with Craig forever. I do think she loved him, but when you cry thinking about leaving your mom to move in with a guy it just doesn’t cream marriage to me. If he ever listened to a single episode of her podcast (and knowing Craig I’m sure he was a diligent listener!) I think she was open about conflicting feeling on marrying him.

My person opinion is the breakup was classic Craig living in denial / lying to himself. I think he truly loved Paige but living in denial that she would ever consider moving to the South/ leave her mom. I feel bad because I just love Craig but I do think he lives in his own reality at times and this is such a classic Craig example I’m surprised so many people have such a negative Paige reaction.
