I have a classmate (who functions more like a coworker since we're in a college club together) who I haven't really gotten along with, but a friend of mine just told me that she has BPD. It's made me reflect on her behavior now that I have this context.
I think she's ultimately a nice girl who makes an effort to be kind, but she has this tendency to speak in a way that is so self-centered it drives me up the wall. She's developed a reputation for being a Debbie Downer, as in no matter what a group will be talking about she'll somehow figure out a way to bring up her abusive fatheher parents' traumatic divorce. However, I'm able to put up with that because I get that it comes from a place of pain. It's the lower-stakes stuff that really drives me nuts.
One example of something that happens all the time: she once talked for nearly 20 minutes about every hair salon experience she'd had in the past 10 years, taking us through every slight change in dye color or style, how her hair lightens faster than anyone she knows, which stylists were nice and which were rude (it's not as though this was advice for us--they were all located in her hometown), etc. It's not that I think she's vapid for caring about that kind of thing, it's the amount of time she spends on irrelevant details and the way she doesn't allow anyone else to get a word in. If someone else comments, she'll revert the conversation right back to what she was talking about. For a while I honestly assumed she was on the autism spectrum because she seems unable to register whether or not people are interested in what she has to say.
There are other times where she's unable understand another person's point of view, and if she thinks someone has wronged her she really clings onto that and makes everyone listen to "the tea". From what I know about BPD it makes sense that she might feel this way (for instance, if she doesn't get a part in a play, she thinks it's because the casting team hates her personally--my anxiety makes me feel similar ways and I have empathy for that), but that doesn't mean she has to talk about it constantly and frame it as unbelievable gossip. We're both pursing performing arts careers, and it's way too small of an industry to behave like she does.
I guess I'm wondering how much of this is due to her disorder and how much of it is her innate personality, or if that's even a productive question to be asking. Because this is a person who I will have to cooperate with for another year, I don't want her to continue to be a source of stress or frustration. I have this tendency to want to "fix" people, which in many ways is problematic, but I just have this stress-by-proxy thing of worrying that people's dislike of her will just make her victim narrative about herself snowball. Is there anything I can say to her, or do I just have to watch her slowly ruin her own career?

I know everyone hates on Natalie but Mike is an alcoholic living in a trailer house with his shady uncle. He really is not a catch and he is emotionless and manipulative. The fact he brought divorce papers to tell all and asked Debbie to hand them over? what an awful psycho move

Miss Debbie married Julian’s father about 6 months after his birth. He became US citizen and changed spelling of his first and middle name approximately 2 years after their marriage.
She alleges she divorced him 5 years later because he drank a lot and was a womanizer. She actually filed for divorce after over 7 years of marriage.
She alleges she married her second husband quickly because she got pregnant with her daughter. Her daughter was approximately 1 year old when she filed for divorce from Julian’s father. The courts attempted and were unable to serve divorce papers to Julian’s father. He left the country and moved to Hong Kong. Due to him not being in the US, she was granted a divorce and custody of Julian.
She alleges she divorced her second husband to to adultery. He petitioned her for divorce. Which is contradictory to what she has implied. She obviously had no problem having an affair and child with him while married to another man. But him allegedly having an affair is not acceptable.
ETA: Naturalization info

Mama Debbie gives Natalie divorce papers from Mike because Mike can’t deliver them himself. I have a hard time believing it was for Natalie’s benefit. To have a friend deliver them is better? How? I think she just has a soft spot for Mike and that’s why she delivered the papers.

Season 4 was probably one of the more hard to watch seasons and that says something since we have seen colts personal journey on here as well.
Jamal just overall gives daddy issues & insecurity whenever he has to bring up Tim. Luisa airing out their sex life or lack of thereof I thought was very childish/ thirsty. I find it so interesting how such a pretty woman can have such a unlikeable character. They more or less had WE HAD SEX written on their forehead so acting coy helped absolutely NO ONE. Veronica was insanely weird for dating someone like Jamal but hey she was sexless with Tim for 3 years so she's used to weird shit. I feel like when we put the daughter in the mix the obvious differences between Jamal and Veronica are showcased heavy. Girl needs to end it with the spawn of kimbawlly and find a mature man with her lifestyle they exist girl , you just gotta stop putting that tinder age at 21 and move it up 🤣 In sum kinda glad both tim and veronica (fingers crossed) ended it.
Chantel was a hot mess but she always has been. I think she just doesn't know how to be like a live laugh love girly , she wants to crash course every relationship and she gets surprised why her mom has some outlandish ass requests when it comes to her relationships. It definitely felt like that greece trip showed just how lost and confused she is. I think she honestly needs to stay single for a bit and just enjoy life maybe snip the umbilical cord first before she can actually obtain a healthy relationship. You just met the guy and you're already in tears for him. I will say no pantygate was unnecessary and miss debbie needed to mind her business she sounded like a dated broken record and I can't believe she tried kissing chantels ass in the end like she wasn't shaming her every second her old ass could.
Tyray although sweet every damn time the poor soul opened his mouth I could see why he has been a virgin for so long. The giggle does indeed get tiring my friend. I will say his story was the hardest to sit through cringe wise. I do find it sweet that he had somewhat of a happy ending.
John and Meghan I kinda see working not gonna lie. Although it seems rushed , john is an older man and maybe being around her daughter and her more often has really solidified that he wants a family now. I think patrick was being more of a crybaby this season and pretty judgmental however I believe it's kinda fair considering how john himself acted when Thaiz first came into the picture. John honestly probably was more open to having children of his own after being around his brothers baby. I do find it very sweet how accommodating he has been with her daughter and I don't know how they(patrick & thaiz) cant see how good of a dad he would/could be.
The mIsS dEbBiE arc is tiring , I don't care for someone who was willing to marry a 23 year old moroccan wannabe rapper. Ruben seems like a nice dude , but it definitely feels like all if this was pure and unaltered tlc screenwriting. Julien being so worried about his mother getting scammed since he's out here doing the same thing. His relentless attacks to ruben were so childish and tiring , throw the whole man baby away. Cosplaying as a cop with lil baby rap chips in full view not 4PF at all. Also that weirdass sign off lady tangerine did to veronica and mama debbie was almost as cringey as the outfit she was wearing.
Tim is Tim per usual , I feel like he was straightforward and Luisa just wouldn't get the point because she's used to having men drooling at her feet like jamal. And it definitely was a get back at tim the hotel sex but the thing is this would've hit if tim hadn't already made it known he wasn't interested in her. Desperate enough to continue trying to get him jealous after getting dismissed over and over is wild, especially with jamal. Tim doesn't like him because he's a fuckboy and time waster , if anything they did him a favor of not having to hear about veronica-jamal related drama anymore. The trash took itself out.
And natalie, I sympathize with the fact that she is in the united states all while her home country is destroyed. Being stranded in all of places like LA with no job or prospects must definitely have a daunting feeling. However, I find it very messed up how everyone attacked Josh. From the look and sound of it he's a very generous man who got way in over his head with Natalie. She is very dismissive of other people's emotions but wants every man in her life to be receptive of hers. Her mom is also a force to be reckoned with , having a mother like that breathing down your neck for a grandchild must be driving Natalie insane. Might be a unpopular opinion, but I definitely feel like the only way Mike was ever gonna get that divorce was this way. And a little interesting to add Debbie deliver it but they definitely were right in the aspect that is better that she gets it from a friendly face than from a sheriff. I also found it wild that out of everyone it seemed like mIsS dEbBiE was the only one losing it over a situation that had nothing to do with her.
bonus peeps
Caeser , I forgot he was there ngl.
Mama Debbie I definitely have never been a fan of. Other than some random outbursts towards josh she was pretty level headed. She was definitely right , lying about your age is very lame at their big of ages. But she also did not deserve mIsS dEbBiE trying to age shame her like they arent 3 years apart, yall all practically the same age and both look it. I felt a little bad because she probably did feel shitty after seeing natalie react that way since they are friends but It was definitely very nice of mike to stand up for her even though he put her through that.
and that's a wrap on the not so single life !

Ok. This Tell All was the longest one out of the whole series and all the spinoffs.. & I loved that it was so long! I feel like a lot of ground was covered. Here are my honest opinions on everyone from this season.

1. Tyray- I absolutely adore him. He reminds me of a nervous, giddy, innocent, naive to a fault child and he must be protected at all costs. I don’t, however, like that he was pressured to have his first kiss at the Tell All. I feel like it took away the special-ness of it. But, if he liked it, I love it. I think the lady friend (forgot her name, no pun intended) is a nice fit for him and I’m excited to see if they go further in their connection.
   
2. Miss Debbie- I’m off and on about her tbh. I love her eccentric personality but I think she oversteps boundaries sometimes. I feel like mama Debbie delivering the divorce papers was out of love and I agree that it is better than having a stranger (or a sheriff) deliver them. Something is off about Ruben the Cuban- the underpants thing was creepy. He didn’t have to pull the whole front of his pants down to show that… but to each his own. We will see how far they go. Came back to add- I LOVED THE FAN FLAP AT THE END!! & the cackle while walking off, You go girl lol. 😂
   
3. Natalie- Where do I start? Let’s keep it short and sweet.. I think she thought the grass would be greener on the other side and she wound up with muddy shoes. That’s the way life goes sometimes. I honestly hope she does some inner work and healing and finds what she’s looking for (hopefully not with Josh. I don’t like him but as a fellow parent, I do agree with the whole not introducing her to his kids just yet until they establish a healthy relationship. But I hope Natalie realizes her self worth and moves on from him.) It was kinda shocking for Mike to deliver the divorce papers at the Tell All, but it was predictable. Like he said, they got married on national tv…you get the point. End of an era. Glad Mike has moved on as well. I think he’s a good man with a genuine heart and he truly did everything he could for Natalie and her sweet mom.
   
4. Veronica- loooove Veronica! However, she knows Jamal is a fuck boy lol. Glad they were able to mend their differences and end on “good terms.” The convo we overheard between Jamal and Louisa (sp.) … WHEW CHILE! I’d kill to see Veronica’s reaction to that after watching the episode. I enjoy her bond with Tim and I think people take the whole “he’s your ex” thing too far at times lol. We only know what we see on tv and not what actually happens on a day to day basis sooo…
   
5. Tim- I like Tim but I agree with the comments about low T. I do not think he’s gay, but def should have his T levels tested. He’s always so monotoned and kinda blah lol. Louisa is gorgeous (looks wise) and it’s hard to believe any man could “keep his distance” from her. (Jamal jumped right on it from the sounds of that convo!) I don’t like her personality, however. I do think Tim is a good man at heart though and at least he’s not out here playing with women like they’re sex objects 🤷🏻‍♀️ also, the outfit he put on at the end of the Tell All was fresh af lol
   
6. Chantel- been watching her from the very beginning and I do like her but I think she also needs to do some inner work and healing before she tries to take things seriously with another man (esp one from the other side of the world…again) maybe she likes the distance because it gives her more freedom in her everyday life? I relate to being in a serious relationship with someone majority of my younger years and that really puts a halt on self growth and finding out who you truly are. I’m happy she’s divorced from Pedro and moving on with her life outside of him.
   
7. John- not too much to say on him other than, good for him! I’ve always liked John and his witty comments and outgoing personality. I’m glad he found someone to love and hope they’re doing well 😊
   

And that’s all folks! I believe I covered everything that was important. Thanks for reading if you made it this far haha

I like both Debbies in their own way but tonite I wanted to slap Colt's mama so bad.
Why does she have the right to have the only opinion? Not only that but she was downright nasty to Miss Debbie. Then for some reason Veronica gangs up on Miss Debbie. Yeah great if you could lean on Deb but you didn't even need to interject yourself into the conversation.
How about the divorce papers? I give it to Miss Debbie again. I would rather be served by a stranger or police officer than a friend.
Then Deb has to say "at least I get laid". So what? Having sex is not something that is going to fulfill you in life. It's not a put down that someone isn't getting any. I honestly don't see why she felt like this was such a big deal.
Then the kicker. Miss Debbie actually came swinging talking about how it makes sense why Colt wanted nothing to do with her. Boy Deb certainly didn't like the tables turned. "Don't talk about my son!" Why not? She's been talking about every possible things she can to get under Miss Debbie's skin and when she finally fires back you can't handle it.
Am I alone in looking at it this way?
I really like both of them separately but Deb is a complete B on the tell alls. The last one she was on, she was there only to stir up trouble. Not a good look for someone her age.

I (35F) have rewritten this so many times. It's just hard to get all of my feelings out. I apologize for this being long.
I was very low contact with my father for many years. He and my mother had a bitter divorce when I was 18, and he found his current girlfriend Debbie when I was 20. Without going too indepth, he was physically and mentally abusive my whole life until I moved out when I was 20.
When the pandemic hit, he started calling more. With the state of the world, and me being now in my 30s, I was more open to communicating with him. We very slowly would communicate, with me setting very firm boundaries with conversation topics. He would occasionally violate them, scream at me, he'd go in time out, and then he'd be good for a while.
When I met my husband Victor my father was actually excited for me. Spent time trying to get to know him over the phone. Was happy for me. When I moved in with Victor, my father actually apologized to me for everything he'd done. For the first time in my life I felt heard and validated by my father. He apologized for treating me like trash in favor of my siblings. He apologized for all the horrible things he did to me. And I cried. I felt validation and relief like I never had before. And I was then completely open to a relationship with him again.
When I got engaged he was thrilled. He asked if he was walking me down the aisle, and I had told him no. It didn't really feel right to me, and I wasn't having bridesmaids or groomsmen so it made sense to walk by myself. No one in my family was ever there for me, so why wouldn't I walk towards my next chapter alone like I did my adult life? He was disappointed but was OK with it. I told him we can have a dance if that was good with him, and he agreed. I told him everyone on my mom's side was excited to be able to see him again after so many years. Him and my mother have been cordial for years at this point, so there was no animosity.
He set up a dinner and had me and Victor over. It went very well. I was actually feeling positive about everything. We made plans for him to meet Victors parents. It was a big deal because we had to travel to a different state to bring them. We made plans to make the trip, and coordinated everything.
The week before the meeting, my father wanted to cancel. He said Debbie was having an exploratory surgery and she wouldn't be recovered in time. I said we had already made these plans but that's OK, and asked if we could just drive by and he could just step outside his home and say hi. Victors father (who is in his 70s) was having an extensive surgery himself, so it was important to meet him now before he had it. He begrudgingly agreed. When we pulled up, I was surprised she came out with him and looked completely fine. No bandages, walked fine, no indication of anything. I thought that was odd, but who am I to judge? They both came out, said hi, and we moved on.
He made plans over the course of the next few months. Every time, the week of, he would cancel. The excuses started pouring out: his friends car broke down and he needed to lend him money (we offered to pay for dinner but they declined), Debbie was have exploratory surgery again (how many can one person have?!), Debbie had a Dr's appointments that he just found out about, they have to take the car to the shop, etc. Lies he had told over and over again, some he reused from when I was growing up with him and I knew he was lying. His favorite lies were always medical.
He wanted to treat me for my birthday in the summer, but that never happened. After we had to reschedule three times I said just forget it, we'll see you at the wedding. He started to be drunk on his phone calls again. Started being argumentative again. But he was excited for the wedding! He was going to make a nice trip out of it with Debbie and stay a few days.
Three weeks before my wedding I got a phone call from Debbie (they share a phone). As soon as I picked up she demanded to know why I didn't tell anyone that the parking garage next to the hotel we had a room block in charged $25 a day to park. I was dumbstruck because firstly, I had no idea that the hotel didn't comp that - we live local to the venue so we were just going home after the wedding. Second, it's a major city - of course they're going to charge. And honestly $25 isn't that bad for the city. Thirdly, why are you calling me to complain about this? No one else had. I can't exactly change it.
I told her I had no idea, that no one else who booked at the hotels had told me, and that $25 was actually a pretty good deal. I told her that if they couldn't afford it, it wasn't that big a deal - maybe they only stay one day, or because they only live an hour from the venue they didn't have to stay at the hotel. The venue itself has free parking.
She hung up on me.
We were getting married on Sunday in early November. The Tuesday before the wedding, I got a phone call from my father that I missed because I was having an emergency Dr's appointment due to having been in the hospital the day before (stress from everything exacerbated a prior medical issue), and instead received a text.
The text said he wasn't coming to my wedding. That Debbie was having exploratory surgery and they couldn't come. That he would still send a card.
I knew then that he was lying as he had lied the whole year. I texted back begging him to come. I wanted him to come, it wasn't about money. That I'm his daughter, and this was the biggest day of my life. To come for even an hour! Debbie would be fine for a short time, she has family that could watch her for a couple hours. He didn't have to stay! He replied that it's not a contest of whose more important, and he was surprised at me.
I gave my wonderful Victor my phone while I was sobbing. I couldn't respond, I was hurting and devastated. He articulated a text, showed it to me for approval then sent it. It said basically, very politely but firmly, that if he couldn't spare a couple hours of his time to see me on the biggest day of my life, then we will go back to no contact and I will never again speak to him.
My mother (whose her own story for another day) even called him to scream at him for what he was doing. She knew his lies too, and called him out on them. He said "don't worry she'll still get a card".
I kept him unblocked up until mid morning the day of my wedding. Not one message, not one call. I was so upset and angry. He had raised my hopes of having my father be there for me then killed those hopes without a thought. I blocked him the day of my wedding.
My wedding day was absolutely perfect. It was everything we wanted. I felt a little sad right before walking down the aisle, and some friends who didn't know about my father asked me where he was. But other than that I didn't even think of him.
It wasn't until after Thanksgiving that I thought to check my blocked messages. He hadn't sent me one message the day of my wedding wishing me luck, nothing. But he did send one message on Thanksgiving. To summarize, it said "Debbie will always come first! You should understand that."
I don't understand it.
I told my brother who still talks to him that he is dead to me, and if he asks - to tell him that. My brother thinks that Debbie is the one preventing my father from being with his family. I quite frankly don't care. He made that decision, and these are the consequences. He asked my brother "how much of a wave he made not coming" and my brother told him "a big wave. But I'm not talking about it."
So I made the decision my father will no longer be in my life, and I have so many emotions about it. But it's mostly relief, sadness and anger.
But I can't help but occasionally check my blocked messages now because some part of me just wants to know if he knows how badly he hurt me. Or if he even cares.
And some days I just want my dad.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing by cutting him out of my life. AITA for erasing him completely forever going forward? Am I doing the right thing?
And no, we still haven't gotten that card. Got a Happy Easter text though.

Don’t get me wrong - miss Debbie is wild, but mother debbie…
She’s been eh to me but her attacking Josh and miss Debbie and serving divorce papers on national tv? Why is she even on? She’s absolutely vile.
God she’s pretty bad.

So my wife and I are temporarily living with her parents (we had our own place before). One night several months ago, wife and I got into a huge fight that unfortunately found its way into the living room where her parents were and I was going on about divorce, etc. The next day, my mother in law went over to her son's house and explained to him and his wife all that happened. She came back later that night furious at my wife and I saying that it's because of us that now she can't see her grandkids because my brother in law and his wife decided not to bring the kids over anymore for safety reasons due to the "atmosphere". His kids were never there when wife and I got into it. I have seen my brother in law throw his wife's phone one day for being on it in the kitchen while his kids were there and they too have talked about divorce...but I'll come back to this later.
Now here's a little background info. As the uncle of my niece and nephew, I really don't spend enough time with their kids or everyone else when they come over, I'm always just in my own zone doing my own thing, but I'll help out when I'm needed. I'm just naturally aloof and very used to being independent. I do not speak with my parents because my dad was abusive who beat both my mom and I to the point she's called the cops on him when I was a child but yet she'll defend him and allow herself to be gaslighted because she's allowed herself to be dependent on him and plays both sides. My wife's side of the family is extremely Christian to the point that I find it fanatical, and I am agnostic atheist, a lot more progressive while my wife is Christian in name only to appease her family..but definitely not behind closed doors. Her parents definitely prefer their own son over her though. I've always had debates with my wife's family due to their holier-than-thou attitudes mostly coming from her mom and brother.
Anyways, my wife, her parents, brother in law+his wife, were all on my phone account. I ended up kicking the brother in law and his wife off my account as a result of him withholding the kids from his parents as far as coming over or dropping them off. While they have the full right to do so as their parents, I found it insulting, petty, and manipulative given the fact that his kids weren't there, I hardly spend any time with them, and not once has there ever been an issue where my wife and I did anything to his kids or argue in front of them. Not only that, but they drop their kids off often so that they can go on doing their own things while my wife's parents take care of them. However, I feel as if my brother in law has learned that he can manipulate his parents by withholding his kids any time there's an inconvenience such as his mom giving them an "unhealthy" treat or learning a bad word from his dad. He's excessively overprotective of them to the point that this man used to unplug the wi-fi at night to reduce exposing them to "radiation". His kids by the way have always seen me as the "cool uncle" with tattoos, etc. to the point that they would draw on themselves without me even trying to influence them as well as ask questions about why I had my ears pierced and so on. My mother and brother in law claim they're just curious and all, but the way they talk about it just shows that it's a burden on them, that it wouldn't be an issue if I was Christian.
Before I kicked them off the account, my brother in law spoke with his mom and reached out to my wife but never once reached out to me. I actually reached out to him asking him what the deal was with him not bringing the kids over or if he was trying to antagonize me. He doubled down, we spoke a bit of trash to each other, and I kicked them off my account. I reminded him that not once have my wife and I ever done anything to his kids and that he's not going to manipulate us like he does his parents. What pissed me off was the fact that my wife's mom was angry at both of us since her son said he wasn't going to bring the kids by anymore and I told her that her son is manipulating her and it's uncalled for. I felt that while he has the right to not bring the kids by, I also have the right to remove them off the account. I told my brother in law that he's a hypocrite for being concerned about his children due to the "atmosphere" when he needs to worry about him and his wife's more given the fact that he's thrown her phone across the kitchen one day for being on it and that his wife brought up divorce when we were all on a beach trip. Several weeks later they started dropping their kids over again as if nothing happened.
Since then, 2 months passed where we wouldn't talk and my brother in law reached out to my wife wanting for all of us to talk to reach a resolution. We finally got around to talking last night due to our busy schedules. As soon as my wife and I came outside to the living room, my brother in law greeted me and asked how I was doing which I completely ignored and got straight into talking. I explained to them that while they have the right to not bring their kids over, I have the right to remove them from the account and I'm not overreacting by it whatsoever given his initial reaction. I called them out on their hypocrisy about how he threw his wife's phone that one day and how his own wife was talking about divorcing him on the beach trip behind his back since he was being a debbie downer during the vacation and threatening to buy himself a plane ticket to go back home. I told him that I think he's full of shit because as much as he talks about us being family, he would have also reached out to me in the very beginning when his mom told him what happened and then him reaching out to my wife. If 5 people are involved in a crime, a court doesn't cross examine 2 of them, but all of them. I told them that because they chose to act as if my wife and I are a danger to their kids all because we got into a fight, that they are not allowed to see my kids if I my wife and I have kids one day given his violent tendencies from throwing his wife's phone across the kitchen. Him and his wife said "ok sorry, we are ready to move on, but it's you who isn't". I told them that I don't want any apologies and that we can all still move forward, but separately and that just because we are family, we don't have to stay in touch since family is overrated, they have been capable of committing crimes against each other. I might as well think that way since he decided to think the atmosphere was "dangerous" for his kids since my wife and I got into a fight. He tried telling me I would understand if I was a parent and I told him he was full of shit again because not all parents are the same and not all divorces end with spouses lunging at each other's throats with knives. It was entirely his assumption alone and it would have only made sense if his kids were there being affected. At the end, I told him he reaps what he sows and what goes around, comes around. I could tell he got offended/disappointed or upset by me wanting to move forward as separate families the way he turned around telling me disgustingly, "You know what all of this is to you? It's PAYBACK!" I told him, "It's not payback. If you don't pay your mortgage or loan, the bank will take your house. Does that mean the bank hates you or has a grudge?" They ended up leaving afterwards.
Just because you lost me as a friend, doesn't mean you gained me as an enemy. I'm bigger then that, I still wanna see you eat, just not at my table. -Tupac
After all that, my mother in law got mad at me saying that I don't want any peace, only evil, and that it's the result of me not following Jesus. She was saying if my wife and I don't have kids, it's because we are selfish and that she could never depend on us to "bury" her one day like she can depend on her son and his wife. I rebuked what she said and told her, "People who consider it selfish to not have children are themselves selfish because they expect their children to take care of them when they grow old, as if their children are in debt and owe them. Marriage should be based on love, not children. If a husband or wife is paralyzed from the waist, does that mean that their marriage was a failure just because they can't have children? Women are much more than factories for producing children." and then I left to go on a drive.

Did the clips for what’s happening next week hint that Natalie is going to get served divorced papers? It seems liked Debbie leaves the stage to get papers on behalf of Mike and serves Natalie the papers or am I jumping to conclusions? There is a clip where you can then see papers in the table in front of her and Miss Debby saying “you shouldn’t have done that on national television!”

Hello! I am struggling and I think this is a reversal of usual AITA posts, honestly. But I think I'm the asshole here.
So a few months back, my (F31) friend "Christy" got out of another bad relationship. I know she has a tendency to run into relationship after relationship and she needed something casual, and I suggested she not yet try a relationship. She seemed determined, so I offered an odd solution to her - my husband's(M31) friend may be an option.
Here's where it gets to be what i thought would be perfect. This friend, Dan, is married to Debbie, but they're openly poly. Dan was already a busy guy with work and life and school, so I told her if she can't go without a relationship, maybe looking into Dan nay be an option. At the least, Christy could make a new friend, and at most she has a FWB that isn't going to mistreat her.
Well, I fucked up. They hit it off perfectly. Debbie would talk poorly about Dan as a husband, so I really didn't think he was a great communicator or husband material, but turns out he and Christy can't stop communicating. Debbie and Dan had been having problems for years so I started checking in with Debbie just to see how she was doing, and she was always more happy with her boyfriend and talking poorly about her husband.
Christy, however, was seeing a very different side of things. What Debbie insisted they had talked about and agreed upon, I started to learn was all Debbie's ideas. When Dan disagreed, Debbie would take it personally and argue back and become depressed, and he gave up on disagreeing and just went with nodding his head. Christy had even uncovered physical abuse in the past, and not so recent past. She was uncomfortable telling me, but since I had helped her escape an abusive relationship she was concerned about why I was keeping quiet about it if I knew. I hadn't known before this.
Well, when the physical abuse came up, I told my husband. I had the same concerns about it as Christy - if he knew, why would he keep quiet while also helping me help friends who needed safety? We've provided resources, stored important documents in our fire safe, even a couch for a few nights. Why wouldn't he tell me?
So my husband didn't know either, but recalled when Dan had 2 black eyes and wouldn't talk about it. He avoided leaving his house as much as possible. So he talked to Dan a few weeks ago.
I ended up in an argument with Debbie yesterday and said some unkind things, but they were true. This triggered an argument between her and Dan, and Dan told her what he really thought of her, and how he dreads being around her because she's miserable and selfish and that's why he's never home and always finding something to do and oh boy.
Anyways. If I wasn't already feeling like a massive AH, I think I made it worse.
Debbie messaged me about some things I had mentioned, but not given my reasoning. I apologized for the misunderstanding that led to our argument and coming in hot, but she started basically asking for advice on what to do. I knew she was feeling lost and upset and this is where I think I went WAY too far.
Through our conversation, I purposefully sprinkled in things about how everybody deserves peace and happiness, and how I never felt my husband feeling that distant, etc etc. I straight up guided the conversation through to the idea of divorce in her brain, not mine.
I am struggling, a lot. They're going to be getting divorced now.
I feel like the world's largest asshole. On one hand, I'm wrecking the home of our friends. On the other hand, it sounds like at least together, they're not very good together.
On the OTHER other hand, I definitely did it because I want Christy to be happy too, and she and Dan have a shot now. But even if it doesn't work out between the two of them, I feel like Dan needed out of that house and that marriage, but after over 15 years he felt comfortable af.
Basically, when I called my husband, he said, "I also counseled Dan towards divorce and have been ever since we talked. We're homewreckers together. It's ok."
He and the other 2 friends I've talked to have told me I shouldn't feel guilty. But I do. I feel guilty af. Am I really not the asshole here, because I feel like I am!
EDIT: I have since discovered that Debbie has been planning on this since December...!!! So I have to admit, I do feel LESS guilty, but I feel less like it was the wrong choice too.
If it wasn't for the abuse, I'd have no reason to really want them to get divorced, but Dan's safety coming first is what really motivated everything.
My husband has always tolerated Debbie as his friend's wife, and is grateful he doesn't have to do that anymore. Debbie is continuing to talk about it with me because... well, other than the 2 friends Christy and I talked it over with (who don't live nearby, don't know Dan and Debbie, and are in it strictly to help hear about things), no one knows the details - except for Christy, Dan, Debbie, Debbie's boyfriend, my husband, and myself. Her boyfriend refuses to get involved, and my husband can openly despise her. She has... no one.
I do feel guilty, and I did apologize for my part in their fight, and she told me then about working on plans since December. I've been hearing from Christy about how she's been pushing Dan to remodel their house quickly, and I do have to wonder about that timing.

In the episode Hot Pursuit. he convinces Martin not to take photos of the guy commiting adultery for Donny. This was weird because his own reasoning was what if the cheating was gonna make him a better husband? Now the wife doesn't know for sure that he is cheating so she has to continue getting cheated on, plus now it's harder for her to get anything out of the divorce because she doesn't have proof of adultery. Also it's weird because Martin already committed to doing it but flaked and went back on his word to Donny, which seems so out of character.
Maybe I've seen this show to many times that I'm nitpicking but it always struck me as weird that Niles was so concerned for the cheater and not at all about the poor wife, especially since Maris cheated.

Did you know in 1974 at the District Convention the Society got "New Light" on how to treat Disfellowshipped ones? They relaxed their stand and you could have limited association with them but this was all changed and removed yet again in 1981.
Here is the truth about their "New Light"
My wife Debbie loved her real father, Robert Stillman, more than anything, even though he was dis-fellowshipped and lived three thousand miles away. The best times in her young life were with her father and not her mother. What a surprise.
However, if Debbie even said her father’s name in front of Elaine, she would get her face slapped. Bob left Debbie’s psycho mother back in the 1950s and married another woman. He was, of course, dis-fellowshipped. It was his only way out of his nasty marriage.
Say you are a Jehovah’s Witness, and you are in a really bad marriage. There is physical, emotional and maybe even sexual abuse going on. For many years, there was only one way to get out of this kind of hell: Someone had to commit adultery. That’s right. Of course, you could get a divorce for any reason. You just couldn’t get remarried unless one of you committed adultery. For decades, it has been the Society’s only provision that would allow you to get remarried.
Believe it or not there was a time when that was ONLY allowed if you had sex with someone of the opposite sex.
How about sex with someone of the same sex? Divorce was NOT allowed.
How about sex with farm animals? Divorce was NOT allowed.
For many years, sex with someone of different sex was the only scriptural grounds for divorce and the only way to get out of a totally toxic marriage.
Of course, this sounds crazy!
Kool-Aid, anyone?
This new light came out while I was at Bethel. In the Watchtower, Jan 1, 1972 issue, pp.31-32, a reader asked this question: Do homosexual acts on the part of a married person constitute scriptural grounds for divorce, freeing the innocent mate to remarry?
This new light will blow your mind. The Societies’ answer to the question was this:
“Whether an innocent mate would scripturally be able to remarry after procuring a legal divorce from a mate guilty of homosexual acts must be determined on the basis of what the Bible says (or what our current interpretation is) respecting divorce and remarriage. In homosexual acts, the sex organs are used in an unnatural way, in a way for which they were never purposed. Two persons of the same sex are not complements of each other, as Adam and Eve were. They could never become “one flesh” in order to procreate. It might be added, in the case of human copulation with a beast, two different kinds of flesh are involved. Wrote the apostle Paul: ‘Not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one of mankind, and there is another flesh of cattle, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.’—1 Cor. 15:39. While both homosexuality and bestiality are disgusting perversions, in this case NEITHER ONE IS THE MARRIAGE TIE BROKEN. It is broken only by acts that make an individual “one flesh” with a person of the opposite sex other than his or her legal marriage mate.”
Wow, there you have it. Your mate could be having sex with farm animals, but that does not break the marriage tie. So according to the wisdom and guidance from the from god's organization, a good Christian wife would have share her marriage bed with a goat or another man, if her husband wanted a threesome. With no recourse to her but comply.
You can't make this stuff up folks.
A few years later, guess what? After thousands of people’s lives were destroyed by the societies’ toxic new light, the Society changed its tune once again. What a surprise. Now you can get a divorce and remarry if your mate had sex with someone of the same sex or with farm animals.
Yes, the new light kicked in once again and canceled out the old new light. What do you think? Was it god who changed his mind once again? Or maybe god has nothing to do with the insanity that this organization puts out there!
Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
So, is it and surprise the society is doing everything in its power to get rid of all these older publications from public records. So people can't research the new light and the old new light.
Of Course sadly, many of the people who are dis-fellowshipped for adultery every year are not the abusers in the relationship. They are the victims. The abuser doesn’t want to leave god’s loving organization by divorcing their spouse. So, what they do is pretty much drive their spouse into adultery. This has happened thousands of times over the years. Is there mercy for the victims of this kind of abuse? No, the rules are clear; so, in the vast majority of cases these victims are dis-fellowshipped and shunned. Leaving the abuser in good standing.
After being dis-fellowshipped, the poor victims who what back into the insanity must to sit in the back of the Kingdom Hall for months or even years, waiting to be reinstated and accepted back into god’s loving fold. The adulterer doesn’t have to wear a large scarlet letter “A” on their clothes but, they might as well for how they are treated.
Moving right along. If we look at the story of my Father-in-Law Bob and his crazy wife Elaine, I’d say Bob made the right move in the question of staying married to Elaine or getting dis-fellowshipped. He dumped a bad marriage and a bad religion all in one move. Happy ending for Bob? No, because it would cost him his relationship with his only two children Debbie and Mike and of course all of his grandchildren.
A short time after her divorce to Bob, Elaine married Ben, and they moved 1,500 miles away to Ruston, Louisiana. After the move, she made Debbie and her brother write a letter to Bob. The letter said they had no desire to see him ever again. That was their mother’s idea, of course, sweet woman that she was. For poor Bob, it probably looked like this was his only future with his Jehovah’s Witness children.
Fast forward ten years and Bob would be getting a break in 1974, with this wonderful new light we got at the district convention.
After Roy’s wedding we drove to my parents’ house in Southern California. From there we went to San Jose for the long awaited reunion with Debbie’s Father.
Debbie was so excited to see her father, who she loved so much. The love I saw between those two was amazing. When they met, it was like a scene out of a movie. Father and daughter united again in love, after all these years. I found him to be a very sweet and kind person, nothing like Debbie’s psycho mother.
How strange to be sitting in his living room while we were showing Bob and his wife Donna a slide show of our wedding pictures. Bob had this big smile on his face, smoking his pipe. He was seeing his own daughter’s wedding for the first time—the wedding he was banished from and wasn’t even invited to attend.
I wondered what Donna was thinking. I’m sure she must have thought we were sick and sadistic people. We didn’t invite this poor man to his only daughter’s wedding. Then we came into their home and showed him the pictures of a wedding from which he was shunned.
I’m sure Donna couldn’t wait to join Bob’s old religion. The religion that brags about how much love they have for everyone.
We spent a whole week at their house. I’m sure Debbie was looking forward to having a relationship again with her long-lost father. I was looking forward to having a real father-in-law and not Ben the village idiot.
After we left Bob’s house, we had been in California for almost a month. We then headed to Idaho to see Gary Kennedy and his wife Ann Marie. Then we headed east again. After two months on the road, we were back in Rhode Island. We were broke and heading into our first New England winter with little to no work.
In 1976, Bob and Donna came to Rhode Island to see us. Debbie and her brother really put the sale on him to come back into the truth and the home of the new light. He just couldn’t do it. I think he was afraid. He was afraid that if he screwed up again, the love would be yanked away from him one more time. As it turned out, he would have been right. Plus, Donna hated Jehovah’s Witnesses for some odd reason. So how does one choose between his kids or his wife? This hell is experienced by many people in the same circumstances.
We had moved into a small bungalow across the street from Indian Lake. Bob and Donna parked their travel trailer on our property and stayed with us for over a month. We had a great time together during that visit. Bob and Donna left and headed back to California.
Debbie had grown up in Ruston and had known many people there. The two people who proved to be like parents to Debbie as she was growing up were JoAnn and Jack Needham, who basically started the Farmerville Congregation. I must say, I loved Jack Needham, too. I wasn’t real close to my MIA non-Jehovah’s Witness father. So, Jack was the closest thing I had to a real father.
Jack always had a smile on his face. He looked quite dapper with his grey hair and handle-bar mustache. He looked just like a Royal Air Force pilot. Come to find out, he had been in the RAF during the war.
Jack was a rebel, and he would receive more flack later on in life because he refused to shave his mustache. I found out later the only reason he had a mustache was to cover up some nasty scars he got from his plane crash in the war. Beards or mustaches weren’t allowed in the Society back then if you wanted to be an Elder or a Pioneer. Jack broke their rules about that, but they still made him an Elder. He was his own man.
The rules at Bethel are: you are allowed mustaches if you are Black, but no beards. If you are white, mustaches and beards aren’t allowed, period. Until the "new light" that is.
Anyway back to the Debbie and Bob reunion.
Debbie and I bought a little 1920s’ bungalow on Bernice Street in Farmerville.
In 1978, Bob came to Louisiana to visit us and our daughter, Kelly, his first grandchild. Because of the new policy changes, Bob was even allowed to go to his own son’s wedding in a Kingdom Hall in Louisiana.
Yes, the new light would allow for that sort of kindness now. This new light seemed very reasonable. Back then, I thought, who knows? - Maybe Jehovah is really directing things back at the headquarters.
At his son Mike’s wedding, Bob told Elaine what a great job she did in raising their children. It looked like maybe my church could be kind, loving and forgiving at times now.
But all good things come to an end. Just like the policy of sex with farm animals and divorce, god had changed his mind once again about how to deal with those who are dis-fellowshipped.
A few years later, the light got brighter. In 1981, the Society said we were going back to the “old way” or the “old new light,” which was not the “new light” they received back in 1974. This new light would, of course, cancel out the old new light of dealing with those who are dis-fellowshipped. We were all told we had to go back to the old way of dealing with dis-fellowshipped people by shunning them and treating them like dead people once again. This new light is still enforced to this very day.
Personally, I think and I'm just guessing, that this new light change about of how we delt with dis-fellowshipped ones, was because of what had happened to Ray Franz at Bethel. The timing was exactly the same.
The society didn't want anyone talking to people like Ray and the many others that left Bethel with him. These people had information that could seriously destroy the society's creditability. Of course they couldn't say you could have limited association with some dis-fellowshipped ones but not others. So, of course they went back to the old way of shunning everyone who left.
This policy would ending up destroying thousands of people's lives and my Father in-law Bob would be one of them.
One day in 1981, Bob called us up. We were living in Oregon then. Bob said he wanted to come up to Oregon for a visit, to see us and his only grandkids, my children. Poor Bob didn’t know about the new light yet.
I said, “Come on up Bob. We would love to see you.” Debbie grabbed the phone out of my hand and told him that he wasn’t welcome anymore and that he couldn’t come up for anymore visits.
Bob was, of course, very upset with the organization’s new light. This meant that he would be losing his family once again. For many years, he wasn’t allowed to see his own children. Then the Society gave him his family back. But now they had taken his family away from him for good.
Debbie wouldn’t talk or see him anymore, but thoughtful my wife did send her father a subscription to The Watchtower and Awake magazines. So now, at least twice a month, Bob would receive spiritual food in the mail from the people who kept taking his family away from him.
For some odd reason, the magazines couldn’t replace the companionship and love he could have received from his family.
I can’t talk to you, Dad, but please read our magazines. The magazines will tell you about how much love we all have in our organization. Sorry we are too busy drinking the Kool-Aid to have any time for you.
Really?
Bob never did visit us again, and we had little-to-no contact with him for many years. Because of the "new light" of course.
Robert Stillman, was a man with no possibility of ever seeing his children and only grandchildren ever again.
I have no idea what was going through Bob’s mind that night in 1993, as he set on his couch and picked up a .38 special from the coffee table next to him and blew his brains out.
Yes, one more casualty of the new light and the blood guilty Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.
To this day, I don’t think Debbie or her brother Mike feel any responsibility for his demise. Why would they? My wife didn’t make the decision to shun her father; her church did that for her. She was just a good Christian soldier following orders.
However, I do feel responsibility. This is the second time in my life that I just stood back and did nothing. Someone I knew was suffering, to the point that death seemed like their only option.
Where was I? I just stood on the side lines and gave myself excuses.
They say a person is as much responsible for the evil he commits in the world as the evil he permits. That was me.
So I'm not letting myself off the hook. I'm blood guilty!
I'm not going to sugar coat this my friends, because I have been there too. The truth is, that everyday you are part of this nasty organization and stand back and do nothing when you see countless numbers of people around you suffering, you too are guilty as I was by my association, by my complacency.
The term “blood guilty” comes to mind. However, the Jehovah’s Witnesses use this term another way.
Since guilt is such a wonderful tool used by the Jehovah’s Witnesses, one of the terms they love to use is “blood guilty.” They have actually used this term to guilt their members into doing more and more Field Service. They have told us on numerous occasions at the Kingdom Halls and other major gatherings that a person could be blood guilty for not going out in Field Service activity enough.
The reason is this. Because you didn’t go out in Field Service on Saturday, Mr. Sinner never got a chance to hear the Jehovah’s Witness’s message about the coming destruction of all the bad people. Because Mr. Sinner never heard this message, it means there is a high probability he and his family won’t join the religion. Because he didn’t join the only true religion, he is still a sinner. Jehovah now has no choice but to kill Mr. Sinner, his wife and their two small children at Armageddon. However, even though Mr. Sinner and his family are killed by god, you are the one that is now blood guilty because you never knocked on his door in the first place. Now of course, Jehovah holds YOU accountable for their deaths! So even though Jehovah did all the killing, you are the real reason this happened.
Do you see the logic here? Let’s take this one step further. I stopped doing door-to-door work over twenty years ago. Does that mean all those hundreds of people with whom I never had the chance to share the message of salvation in the last twenty years will now die at Armageddon because I left the organization many years ago?
I guess I’m along with everyone else on the planet are blood guilty whether I’m in their organization or not. Confusing isn't it? I’m sure they will come up with some more “new light” about all this a few years from now.
Doesn’t this just sound like some form of insanity?
Anyway, back to Debbie and her dead dad. Debbie wanted to be with her father one more time, or at least part of him. She was nice enough to go to California to help Bob’s wife, Chloe, spread his ashes down a canyon wall. I wondered what Chloe thought about Debbie wanting to be with her father and helping with his disposal, now that he was dead, though she didn’t want to associate with him while he was living.
Let's face it, to people on the outside of the Jehovah's Witness club/religion, we must look insane!
Here is another crazy pill. Check this out.
At the time of his death, the only thing Bob was doing that wasn’t in line with the Society’s rules and regulations was smoking. He wasn’t living in sin or doing any other type of gross immorality, but because he left the organization back in 1958, thirty-five years earlier, he could no longer have association with his children or grandchildren.
Yet my father, who left the organization back in 1961, was still smoking at the time of Bob’s death. I’m sure my father was fornicating, stealing and just about anything else you can think of back then. Yet he could come up to visit his children and his grandchildren anytime he liked and did many times.
How could that be? How could he do that?
Because he was no longer disfellowshipped; he was reinstated back in 1965. However, after he was reinstated, he just dropped out for good, or faded away as the Witnesses like to call it nowadays.
Just one of the many loopholes and double standards that they don’t want you to know about. Another Catch 22.
This whole dis-fellowshipping and shunning policy was something that Knorr and Freddy Franz dreamt up back in March of 1951. At that time, Knorr gave the Witnesses the new light, which led to hundreds of thousands of people being dis-fellowshipped and thus shunned in the years to come. Dis-fellowshipping didn’t even exist in the first seventy five years of this organization’s history. The word itself, disfellowship, doesn’t even exist in the Bible.
Even though Knorr has been dead for over forty six years, his policies continue to kill people and destroy families to this very day.
How many lives has this cruel shunning policy taken? How many families has it destroyed?
The new light is funny stuff. Sometimes it gets brighter, then dark, then bright again. But one thing is true about the new light. It is never, ever wrong!
Right?
I guess Jehovah gets confused at times and just can’t decide which way to go.
Or on the other hand maybe god has nothing to do with the Society’s decisions.
What if eight old guys who call themselves the Governing Body back in New York are making this shit up as they go along? It kind of looks that way.
How could those eight guys and the eight million people they lead be wrong in their thinking?
I guess the same way ninety million Nazis could be wrong back in World War Two. It's easy once you are sucked in to go along with the program no matter how insane it is.
It’s amazing the crazy shit a few guys, meeting in a basement in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania church back in the 1870's, or in a German beer hall in Munich, in the 1920's can come up with.
Seig Heil!

After looking everywhere online and not finding a correct viewing order for the show, I created my own after rewatching the series. The list is mainly structured on keeping the continuity consistent throughout the episodes and evenly spreading out spotlight episodes (Character appearances, locatons, etc) if possible.
I'm confident that the first half of season 1 are in a suitable order, but the second half is more likely inconsistent in its continuity. Season 2 stays exactly the same aside from switching two episodes' places. Leave any comments if you notice continuity errors with this list.

Ep 17: Shadow Of Evil

Ep 25: Insane In The Mama Train
Ep 26: Endgame

If anyone wants an explanation as to why these episodes are ordered this way:
The 22-minute episodes are made to be spread out evenly (Ep 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, 26); there'll usually 10 episodes/five 22-minute episodes divided into two segments between each special.
In Bug Busters, as Big Mama talks about the recent mutants, a screen of all the mutant from previous episodes are shown; therefore, Donnie's Gifts, Newsworthy, Repo Mantis, and Mascot Melee are definitely before Bug Busters.

• Origami Tsunami mainly Raph's mystic ability from his tonfas; the ability is seen in the next episodes, so this directly follows up Mystic Mayhem.
• War And Pizza along with Down With The Sickness gives some spotlight for April and Splinter, since the rest of the list is crowded, the episodes can directly follow after Ep 2.
• The mystic pizza place appears in The Fast and Furriest, so Minotaur Maze takes place before that episode. And because there's no other place as well, Newsworthy and Minotaur Maze is Ep 4.
• Hypno! Part Deux takes place during Repo Mantis (from a phone call between April and Donnie), so the episodes are paired together. The episodes can be Ep 4 but the mystic pizza place's appearances would then be close to each other along with inconsistency in Hypno's introduction, so this'll be Ep 5.
• The Fast And The Furriest introduces the Shell Tank - built from the moon buggy in Repo Mantis, so the episode takes place after that one - and Mascot Melee includes an appearance of the tank, so the episodes will be paired together and be Ep 6.

Throughout Ep 8 - Ep 12, we're introduced to the Foot Dudes collecting pieces of Dark Armor. Those episodes will be spread out for consistency in their appearances.

• Shell In A Cell, due to a crowded list, will be paired with The Longest Fight, being Ep 8. Same also applies to Ep 9: The Gumbus and Mrs Cuddles, both episodes also have a somewhat horror-ish theme ("Ghosts"; Sentient Doll that grows off of fear.)
• Portal Jacked! swaps place with Al Be Back (usually paired with Stuck On You in the production codes) so Senor Hueso appearances can be spaced out. No continuity errors - to my knowledge - comes from this change. Stuck On You introduces Donnie's username/password/alias, Bootyshaker9000, and the Shell Hogs. A reference to Bootyshaker9000 is made in The Purple Jacket and the Shell Hogs are used in Pizza Pit, so those episodes must follow after Stuck On You.
• Smart Lair introduces Shelldon. Although there aren't any major continuity errors placing the episode before Ep 12, an inconsistency I notice is in The Purple Jacket: when Donnie shows off his tech to impress the dragons, Shelldon makes no appearance; therefore, Smart Lair would be paired with Hot Soup: The Game as Shelldon should've also been shown off yet wasn't.
• Episodes like Shell In A Cell, Smart Lair, Hot Soup: The Game, etc can't be placed after Ep 12 in order to spread out the appearances of the characters introduced in these episodes and maintain continuity.

I've binge watched the second half so this'll be far more inconsistent:

• No episodes of The Foot Clan collecting the Dark Armor can be from Ep 14 - Ep 18; those episodes have the turtles acknowledging the Dark Armor, something they're not aware of yet. Although, I did include episodes where the Foot Dudes and Cassandra appears because there's no mention of the dark armor in them. This does, however, lessens their impact in Shadow Of Evil due to them and Draxum now teaming up, leaving the audience expecting something grand from them, but then only seeing mundane appearances in Sparring Partner and Mystic Library from them.
• Late Fee is Ghostbear's second appearance; Bullhop evenly spreads out Big Mama's appearances - Bug Busters, this, and Ballad Of Rat Man are evenly spread-out episode wise - and a consequence of their actions in Bug Busters, creating Bullhop. This will be Ep 14.
• Al Be Back introduces Albeartoland; the only major continuities linked to this place I spotted some few episodes later is in Nothing But Truffle: Mikey and Meat Sweats, in a montage of their new friendship, eats funnel cakes. Funnel cakes, from what I remember, makes a season later appearance in Repairin The Baron: Baron Draxum discards his funnel cake in Albeartoland. This confirms that Albeartoland can't be after Nothing But Truffle, and because there aren't any major continuities with this episode and the ones before, it can be paired Sparring Partner, making Ep 15.
• The next 6 episodes don't exactly have continuity or inconsistencies connected to each other. I've sorted them for variety sakes, making Ep 16 - Ep 18.

Every episode below, I can confirm, comes after Shadow Of Evil; conveniently, there's enough episodes to make up 5 22-minute episodes. The Dark Armor can be seen being reconstructed each episode in each appearance; thoroughly looking at the armor led to this order of the Dark Armor episodes: Warren & Hypno, Sitting In A Tree or One Man's Junk => Operation Normal => How To Make Enemies And People Bend To Your Will (The Dark Armor piece collected in W&H, Sitting In A Tree, from what I've seen, did not make a difference to the Dark Armor's appearance.)

• Man Vs Sewer, though mainly filler-ish, has many beginning lines that indicates this takes place some few time after Shadow Of Evil. Donnie mentions Splinter's shady past, obviously after learning he's Lou Jitsu. Leo talks about 'a day off of Splinter's training'; Splinter has never been shown to directly train the boys, any mentions of training never involve a mention of Splinter alongside it. I infer that after Shadow Of Evil, Splinter would then start training the boys to prepare for the worst cast scenario. Mikey mentions Splinter's "rugged good looks"; they referred to their good looks before in The Evil League Of Mutant after finding out they have Lou Jitsu's DNA. Warren And Hypno, Sitting In A Tree is paired with Man Vs Sewer due to a crowded list, making Ep 20.
• Turtle-Dega Nights: The Ballad Of Rat Man is a weird case. Splinter is never directly addressed as Lou jitsu by Donnie Or Mikey, Donnie stating "You introduced us to Lou Jitsu" rather saying 'You are Lou Jitsu.' Splinter's other lines like "Hello, Big Mama" and "What have you boys been up to?" led me to different conclusions: "Hello, Big Mama" either implies a connection between them, or is a reference to the reveal of their relationship in 'The Ancient Art Of Hide And Seek.'; Splinter asking the boys what ridiculous shenanigans they got caught up in is either doesn't make sense - he knows they know about Draxum, so he shouldn't be that surprised - or is just a genuine question. The only reason this episode is here is because of Warner Stone competing in the demolition derby. Charolette (Dark Armor piece) isn't seen on his right hand when driving, and at the end of the previous episode, Warner gets Charolette taken away from him. This episode can't come before W&H, Sitting In A Tree because of this. Granted, I also head cannonaded Hypno cutting off Warner's arm off so he can compete in the derby, Charolette still in Warner's safe keeping. Then again, this is never confirmed so this episode can stay here. One Man's Junk is also placed here due to a crowded list, making Ep 21.
• The Ancient Art Of Hide And Seek was originally going to be the first episode after Shadow Of Evil, but there are some few inconsistencies that land it here. Splinter mentions that this is their next lesson in ninja training, meaning they've trained offscreen. The episode also ends with Splinter telling the boys he's proud, something Donnie craved and tried to gain in Ballad Of Rat Man. Granted, that's probably personal approval and admission in himself rather than general approval for the boys' work, but rewatching the episodes, Donnie just wanted an 'I Am So Proud.' Originally, Man Vs Sewer would've been paired with this episode as at the end, Spliniter told the boys to go celebrate, so they just take a day off in NYC's sewers. But Donnie's line regarding Splinter still seems like he has trust issues with him, somewhat inconsistent with the development in Ballad Of Rat Man. Operation Normal is here for continuity sakes, making Ep 22.
• Snow Day doesn't have any major continuity aside from a mention of not training. The episode also has a Ghostbear appearance, somewhat evenly spreading out his three appearances in this season by having this episode around here. How To Make Enemies And People Bend To Your Will is also here for continuity sakes, making Ep 23.
• Cloak And Swaggart can anywhere after Operation Normal, but to spread out April and Sunita's apperances, the episode is placed here. Jupiter Jim Ahoy! feels like a nice last episode before the season finale, the turtles accepting Splinter as Lou Jitsu, even if he isn't as exciting as Jupiter Jim - whom is a deluded actor. This makes the last episode of the season before the two parter finale.

Season 2 basically stays the same. Not many changes need to be made as the continuity stay fairly consistent - aside from a few lines here and there. The only change I made was placing Always Be Brownies after Sidekick Ahoy! because of variety sakes for the character appearances - Always Be Brownies is the only episode where the turtles aren't present (My head canon for this is that the turtles spent the whole day binging Jupiter Jim movies, as seen in the start of Sidekick Ahoy!, explaining why they didn't help April with selling cookies.)

I also compiled an episode order based off of TMNTpedia's listed production codes because the episodes on the wiki are structured by broadcast order rather than production codes. The viewing order is definitely incorrect, and mostly just changes season 1's order:
Season 1: 26 Episodes

So to kind of tell a little backstory, my mom had three children. My brother(25), my sister (14) and I (30F). My brother and I share a dad and my sister has her own. Her dad and our mom divorced when she was only 2 and my mom has been raising her by herself for the most part. Well my mom had a really bad alcohol addiction that eventually led to her passing away in March of 2023. When she passed my sister had to go live with her dad because she was only 13 at the time. While she’s staying there her dad’s girlfriend overdosed on marijuana because it was laced with fentanyl so they call 911 and DCFS gets involved.
This is where it gets a little messy. At the time this is all going down my wife and I have her sister and her boyfriend and 6 kids living with us because they had just been kicked out of their house because of problems they were having with their landlord. They turn to us because we have the biggest house in the family with a 3 bedroom house. My wife’s mom and dad live in a trailer and their brother lives in a bachelor pad. Now keep in mind my wife and I have 3 kids of our own so now we have 9 kids, 4 adults and numerous pets from them in our 3 bedroom house. There was just no way that DCFS would have let me take my sister with this many people and it’s not like I had the room anyway. So ultimately she ended up going to live with my brother, his wife and their two kids.
I was really not happy with this situation because I know the kind of person my brother’s wife is. Just very blunt and rude about everything. The typical mean girl you would encounter in high school, which is not who I want to influence my teenage sister growing up. But I give her a chance anyway. My brother’s wife also had a 15 year old sister, let’s call her Jess, that visits her occasionally when she is not staying with her dad. So around the beginning of November I hear from my sister that Jess is going to pierce her nose for her. Now I’m not trying to be a Debbie downer, I have 5 tattoos and idk how many piercings I’ve had. BUT, she is only 13 at this time which in the first place is too young for a facial piercing and two it’s not even going to be professionally done. Jess was going to do it herself because my brother’s wife let her do it at that age and it was fine. One reason why I do not want her parenting my sister.
So I confront my brother about it a week later and tell him that this is probably not a good idea especially with DCFS watching. Also she’s still a little young and to wait a couple more years. He says oh yeah I know, that’s not going to happen. Seems to be totally on board and agreeing with me so I drop it. Fast forward to Christmas Day. My wife and I are talking to my sister in the kitchen and my brother’s wife comes up and says yeah Jess won’t be able to pierce your nose after all. My wife and I are completely shocked because I thought my brother and I had discussed that this was not a good idea so why is this still being brought up. My wife immediately tells my brother’s wife this shouldn’t have even almost happened in the first place, that is completely unacceptable. Later that same night, my sister is looking at pictures of her friends on her phone and my brothers wife walks up and just starts making comments like, “ew” and “gross” and “what is she wearing” and “what’s wrong with her hair”. Like I said, typical mean girl. So my wife walks up and says what are you guys doing. My brother’s wife says, making fun of people, Jess and I do it all the time. My wife then says you know the people that do that are normally so unhappy in their lives that they have to put other people down to make themselves feel better and just walks away. Reason number two, besides her just being a shitty person in general.
Side note: I’m sorry if this is way too long but idk how to condense it without leaving out details. Also with my mom passing I just feel like I don’t have anybody to talk to about this and I need advice. So anyway a week after Christmas we have a birthday party for my 30th. My wife invites the family and almost everyone shows up except one of my cousins which wasn’t surprising but that’s another drama story I’ll have to elaborate on later. Throughout the night my brother’s wife is talking to my wife and my other cousin. And she says to my one cousin that the reason my other cousin (her brother) didn’t show up is because he hates us and doesn’t want to hang out with us. My wife remembers this conversation very clearly as she doesn’t drink. But she doesn’t tell me about this conversation because it’s my birthday party and she doesn’t want to make me sad, whether my brother’s wife was telling the truth or not.
The next day I get a text from my brother’s wife saying I heard that I said your cousin hates you but I just wanted to let you know I never said that ever. So I said ok I didn’t hear that but alright. I ask my wife about the message and she said yeah I remember her telling me and your cousin that. Either she was too drunk to remember saying that or she’s lying through her teeth. But by this point I’m done. The next weekend is my brothers birthday party ( I know, close birthdays) and I tell him I’m sorry I won’t be coming because we need to talk.
After I say we need to talk everything just goes downhill. He asked me if everything is ok and I just say yes I just want to talk to you in person. So he replies about what? And I say I would REALLY prefer not to do this over text message. And he says but what is it? lol. Like he’s trying to be funny. He’s asked me for the last time so finally I give it to him and basically tell him everything I explained above. He’s confused about why I’m feeling the way I’m feeling and I said that’s why I want to talk to you. So we set up a day a week later to talk but then I get a message from my sister two days later saying stop bringing Jess into this when she did nothing to you and I know what’s going on and I’m old enough to speak my mind. A whole ass paragraph yelling at me. Then I had Jess messaging me saying me and my wife are horrible people and we’re creating problems out of nothing and calling me a cunt and so on. Basically now getting harassed by my sister and Jess because my brother and his wife decided to bring children into this. Which is yet another reason why I do not want this woman parenting my sister. I’m at my wits end here and I honestly don’t know what to do. It is now almost April and my brother and I still haven’t met up to talk about any of this because it just keeps getting escalated. Any advice would be much appreciated!
I also can get into the relationship my brothers wife had with my mom before she passed. She hated my mom, even blocked her on Facebook. My mom was very well liked by a lot of people, yes she had her alcohol addiction, but she never harmed any of us. She was the best mom I could have asked for, some of us just get dealt shitty hands in life. But I doubt my sister knows any of that, my brother and his wife only tell her things that make me look bad.

After looking everywhere online and not finding a correct viewing order for the show, I created my own after rewatching the series. The list is mainly structured on keeping the continuity consistent throughout the episodes and evenly spreading out spotlight episodes (Character appearances, locatons, etc) if possible.
I'm confident that the first half of season 1 are in a suitable order, but the second half is more likely inconsistent in its continuity. Season 2 stays exactly the same aside from switching two episodes' places. Leave any comments if you notice continuity errors with this list.

If anyone wants an explanation as to why these episodes are ordered these ways:
The 22-minute episodes are made to be spread out evenly (Ep 1, 7, 13, 19, 25, 26); there'll usually 10 episodes/five 22-minute episodes divided into two segments between each special.
In Bug Busters, as Big Mama talks about the recent mutants, a screen of all the mutant from previous episodes are shown; therefore, Donnie's Gifts, Newsworthy, Repo Mantis, and Mascot Melee are definitely before Bug Busters.

• Origami Tsunami mainly introduces Raph's mystic ability; the ability is seen in the next episodes, so this directly follows up Mystic Mayhem.
• War And Pizza and Down With The Sickness gives some spotlight for April and Splinter to establish their character early on in the season, respectively. Since the rest of the list is crowded, the episodes can directly follow after Ep 2.
• The mystic pizza place appears in The Fast and Furriest, so Minotaur Maze takes place before that episode. And because there's no other place as well, Newsworthy and Minotaur Maze is Ep 4.
• Hypno! Part Deux takes place during Repo Mantis (as seen in a phone call between April and Donnie), so the episodes are paired together. The episodes can be Ep 4, but the mystic pizza place's appearances would then be close to each other along with inconsistency in Hypno's introduction, so this'll be Ep 5.
• The Fast And The Furriest introduces the Shell Tank - built from the moon buggy in Repo Mantis - so the episode takes place after that one. Mascot Melee includes an appearance of the tank, so it comes after The Fast And The Furriest and be Ep 6.

Throughout Ep 8 - Ep 12, we're introduced to the Foot Dudes collecting pieces of Dark Armor. Those episodes will be spread out evenly for consistency in their appearances.

• Shell In A Cell, due to a crowded list, will be paired with The Longest Fight, being Ep 8. Same also applies to Ep 9: The Gumbus and Mrs Cuddles, both episodes also have a somewhat horror-ish theme ("Ghosts"; Sentient Doll that grows off of fear,) so they can be paired together.
• Portal Jacked! swaps place with Al Be Back (usually paired with Stuck On You in the production codes) so Senor Hueso appearances can be spaced out. No continuity errors - to my knowledge - comes from this change. Stuck On You introduces Donnie's username/password/alias, Bootyshaker9000, and the Shell Hogs. A reference to Bootyshaker9000 is made in The Purple Jacket and the Shell Hogs are used in Pizza Pit, so those episodes must follow after Stuck On You.
• Smart Lair introduces Shelldon. Although there aren't any major continuity errors with placing the episode before Ep 12 - not after episode 10 since there's a bootyshaker9000 reference - an inconsistency I notice is in The Purple Jacket: when Donnie shows off his tech to impress the dragons, Shelldon makes no appearance; therefore, Smart Lair would be paired with Hot Soup: The Game as Shelldon should've also been shown off yet wasn't.
• Episodes like Shell In A Cell, Smart Lair, Hot Soup: The Game, etc can't be placed after Ep 12 in order to spread out the appearances of the characters introduced in these episodes and maintain continuity.

I've binge watched the second half, so this'll be far more inconsistent:

• No episodes of The Foot Clan collecting the Dark Armor can be from Ep 14 - Ep 18; those episodes have the turtles acknowledging the Dark Armor, something they're not aware of yet. Although, I did include episodes where the Foot Dudes and Cassandra appears because there's no mention of the dark armor in them. This does, however, lessens their impact in 'Shadow Of Evil' due to them and Draxum teaming up at the end of 'The Evil League Of Mutants', leaving the audience expecting something grand from them, but then only seeing mundane appearances in Sparring Partner and Mystic Library.
• Late Fee is Ghostbear's second appearance; Bullhop evenly spreads out Big Mama's appearances - Bug Busters, this, and Ballad Of Rat Man are evenly spread-out episode wise. This will be Ep 14.
• Al Be Back introduces Albeartoland; the only major continuities linked to this place I spotted some few episodes later is in Nothing But Truffle: Mikey and Meat Sweats, in a moment in the montage of their new friendship, eats funnel cakes. Funnel cakes, from what I remember, makes a season later appearance in Repairin The Baron: Baron Draxum discards his funnel cake in Albeartoland. This confirms that Albeartoland can't be after Nothing But Truffle because Mikey and Meat Sweats got their funnel cake at Albeartoland rather than just a random theme park. Since there aren't any major continuities with this episode and the ones before, it can be paired Sparring Partner, making Ep 15.
• The next 6 episodes don't exactly have continuity or inconsistencies connected to each other. I've sorted them for variety sakes, making Ep 16 - Ep 18.

Every episode below, I can confirm, comes after Shadow Of Evil; conveniently, there's enough episodes to make up 5 22-minute episodes. The Dark Armor can be seen being reconstructed each episode in each appearance; thoroughly looking at the armor led to this order of the Dark Armor episodes: Warren & Hypno, Sitting In A Tree or One Man's Junk => Operation Normal => How To Make Enemies And People Bend To Your Will (The Dark Armor piece collected in W&H, Sitting In A Tree, from what I've seen, did not make a difference to the Dark Armor's appearance.)

• Man Vs Sewer, though mainly filler-ish, has many beginning lines that indicates this takes place some few time after Shadow Of Evil. Donnie mentions Splinter's shady past, obviously after learning he's Lou Jitsu. Leo talks about 'a day off of Splinter's training'; Splinter has never been shown to directly train the boys, any mentions of training never involve a mention of Splinter alongside it. I infer that after Shadow Of Evil, Splinter would then start training the boys to prepare for the worst case scenario. Mikey mentions Splinter's "rugged good looks"; they referred to their good looks before in The Evil League Of Mutant after finding out they have Lou Jitsu's DNA. Warren And Hypno, Sitting In A Tree is paired with Man Vs Sewer due to a crowded list, making Ep 20.
• Turtle-Dega Nights: The Ballad Of Rat Man is a weird case. Splinter is never directly addressed as Lou jitsu by Donnie or Mikey, Donnie stating, "You introduced us to Lou Jitsu" rather saying 'You are Lou Jitsu.' Splinter's other lines like "Hello, Big Mama" and "What have you boys been up to?" led me to different conclusions: "Hello, Big Mama" either implies a connection between them, or is a reference to the reveal of their relationship in 'The Ancient Art Of Hide And Seek.'; Splinter asking the boys what ridiculous shenanigans they got caught up in is either doesn't make sense - he knows they know about Draxum, so he shouldn't be that surprised - or is just a genuine question. The only reason this episode is here is because of Warner Stone competing in the demolition derby. Charolette (Dark Armor piece) isn't seen on his right hand when driving, and at the end of the previous episode, Warner gets Charolette taken away from him. This episode can't come before W&H, Sitting In A Tree because of this. Granted, I also head cannonaded Hypno cutting off Warner's arm off so he can compete in the derby, Charolette still in Warner's safe keeping. Then again, this is never confirmed so this episode can stay here. One Man's Junk is also placed here due to a crowded list, making Ep 21.
• The Ancient Art Of Hide And Seek was originally going to be the first episode after Shadow Of Evil, but there are some few inconsistencies that land it here. Splinter mentions that this is their next lesson in ninja training, meaning they've trained offscreen which, I felt, was established in Man Vs Sewer. The episode also ends with Splinter telling the boys he's proud, something Donnie tried chase after in Ballad Of Rat Man. Granted, that's probably personal approval for himself rather than general approval for the boys' work, but rewatching the episode, Donnie just wanted an 'I Am So Proud' which he did get in this episode. Originally, Man Vs Sewer would've been paired with this episode as at the end, Splinter told the boys to go celebrate, so they just take a day off in NYC's sewers. But Donnie's line regarding Splinter still seems like he has trust issues with him, somewhat inconsistent with the development in Ballad Of Rat Man. Operation Normal is here for continuity sakes, making Ep 22.
• Snow Day doesn't have any major continuity aside from a mention of not training. The episode also has a Ghostbear appearance, somewhat evenly spreading out his appearances in this season. How To Make Enemies And People Bend To Your Will is here for continuity sakes, making Ep 23.
• Cloak And Swaggart can appear anywhere after Operation Normal, but to spread out April and Sunita's appearances, the episode is placed here. Jupiter Jim Ahoy! feels like a nice last episode before the season finale, the turtles accepting Splinter as Lou Jitsu, even if he isn't as exciting as Jupiter Jim - whom is a deluded actor that almost killed them. This makes the last episode of the season before the two parter finale.

Season 2 basically stays the same. Not many changes need to be made as the continuity stay fairly consistent - aside from a few lines here and there. The only change I made was placing Always Be Brownies after Sidekick Ahoy! because of variety sakes for the character appearances - Always Be Brownies is the only episode where the turtles aren't present (My head canon for this is that the turtles spent the whole day binging Jupiter Jim movies, as seen in the start of Sidekick Ahoy!, explaining why they didn't help April with selling cookies.)

I also compiled an episode order based off of TMNTpedia's listed production codes because the episodes on the wiki are structured by broadcast order rather than production codes. The viewing order is definitely incorrect, and mostly just changes season 1's order:
