Jessa definitely triggered him and escalated the situation. Let's not forget she physically hit her husband and threw stuff at him. If the story separates them then maybe the realization of how easily they can revert will be worth that brief involvement.

I have a hard time not feeling like this ruined his character and the entire series for me. I have no interest in watching them together after that fight and I thought they made no sense before that. It boggles my mind that people see some great love there.

As a viewer I felt they wasted this entire season with this gratuitous relationship. And seeing Adam act like that cast a pall over the previous seasons, especially the well-written and directed emotional scenes he had with Hannah. If the show somehow acknowledges that being with Jessa made him revert to animalistic…

I don't know that it was being played for laughs, but some reactions to it have surprised me. It WAS horrific.

I may have read it too quickly. I don't think there was trust at all. I also don't think she could defend herself if he had really wanted to physically hurt her, which he clearly didn't or he would have.

The fight was at Ray and Adam's shared apartment. Laird came there to pick the baby up. The stairway laughing scene was at Laird's apartment where he lives downstairs from Hannah.

Completely agree that they were using each other as Hannah substitutes. Hannah was the only real friend either of them had…and she left.

And some people find shaved pits and legs more attractive and find grooming downstairs to be dictated by unwanted norms of "sexy."

Considering she locked herself in the bathroom and had to kick him to get away from him I am going to disagree with the mutual trust angle. I think she said he didn't scare her because she's Jessa…she lives her life hiding her emotions and fears.

He really hasn't.

Too funny! Although a bummer for your dad at the time.

Ray should break up with Marnie, but the two people who just had a violent screaming apartment destroying fight where they called each other insane and sociopathic should become a better couple?

That's cool. Some people had just asked why Adam was at Ray's apartment.

It is the same apartment. Ray took it over the first time Adam moved in with Hannah. And they live there as roommates now…which is why Adam and Jessa had to have couch sex when she showed up at the door. And why they were watching TV together.

Why are people still debating this. The character involved FELT that she stole her friend's boyfriend. She said it herself.

I agree with that. Nothing about this relationship ever seemed loving and intimate…it was all using and detachment.

Another bike bears the brunt of Adam's anger, so be warned.

Only one bike…and more like borrowed, because it is left on the street…where maybe it will find its way home.

The "hippies at Disneyland in '68" comment was the best.

She was codependent with both of them. And the two of them together is not healthy in any way. Jessa was right about that.
