I feel Luke tried. Maybe he has some issues / but I just think to be constantly put down just made him feel more insecure and so he had to try to come off as more secure. He’s a baby probably not ready for as much as he thinks he is! But wow it hurts me to see him get treated so poorly. Yeah he made mistakes but he also has feelings! I think it’s deeper than anyone knows. We shouldn’t treat people that may have any emotional or mental illness so horribly. This was not a helpful show for him to be on. I worry about his mental state and yes it seems he is controlling but I think he’s much softer and weaker than what he shows. Hope the show helps him through this and can give him some support . He’s not a bad guy just not as confident as he wants people to think he is. I bet he’s got a huge heart too! Maybe just lost! I wonder about his past relationships! Hugs to Luke! And god bless your heart! !
