Acting Like Adults

Alexis just wants to move on from the Peggy/Jim situation and calls out Tamra's brown-nosing.

February 14, 2012

It's obvious Peggy's and my relationship will never recover from everything that has occurred. I went to Vicki's party with every intention of being cordial and keeping the evening light. There was definitely tension in the air, however, I went out of my way to say hello to Peggy first. It was a quick moment, so you may need to rewind and watch again, but yes, I did.

As the night went on, Peggy kept throwing digs at me. I refused to stoop to her level and get caught up in her comments. Her daughter, London, had broken her arm over the summer, and I had texted Peggy to tell her I was thinking and praying for her. So at Vicki's when she's telling me the story of what happened to London's arm, I was merely relating to her daughter and what she was going through when I made the comment about having a rod in my leg. I WAS NOT COMPETING with a four-year-old! That just sounds so ridiculous to even say. The fact that Peggy would even say that makes me once again think she is looking for drama. It seems like Peggy and I just can't get out of this negative cycle we're in. At this point in my life, I want to move beyond the past (because it was 16 years ago!) and just be civil. I think it is apparent that Peggy and I will not become friends again, but that doesn't mean we can't be adults about the matter and just get along for the sake of the group.

Alexis,
The situation between Peggy and Jim, the bottom line is that you took vows with Jim. He should have been the one to tell you about that relationship. Truth be told he should be greatful that two attractive women would even give him the time of day, he should welcome the exposure instead of trying to hide it because I'm sorry your husband is rude and not very attractive. Instead of you making excuses for Jim you should be questioning him about what else he is hiding from you instead of getting mad with Peggy.

You are a well-spoken lady, and now my favorite housewife. Please keep up your positive attitude, it is very refreshing.

Personally I am glad Peggy is gone... She was the biggest brown noiser to vicky and fantasy last season.. peggie acted like a birch twords alexus and frankly I heard her house went on force closer... Stange how vicky and tamera didn't ask Peggy why she was not truthful about her money problems... Alex should be upset with Jim yes but that is between husband and wife... Peggy shows like she still has a thing for Jim... Why was she so upset that he didn't show up to her dinner party?and now that alexis really dosent want save their friendship ,Peggy plays the victim wow really.. come on so you had to day Jim was investigated by the FBI.. Peggy just go heal yourself and just go away... Really your a joke...

peggy was probably scared to tell you about her and jim ..All the while jim is saying lie to her and be dishonest dont tell her (even though he told you he didnt think it would be a big deal after you found out) She probably thought it would play out just like it did.. Jim is the saint and peggy was in the wrong.. you hold peggy responsible ..lucky jim getting off the hook that easy.. what did he do get defensive and say your over reacting it wasnt that big of a deal he is with you and that was years ago and lying or hiding it from you was protecting you and throwing peggy under the bus.. that is sad to hear your husband is such a rude person to customer service people...

Peggy mentioned how you, "better watch out" because of the whole stalker comment. Then turns around and says, "I didnt break into his house, I just went over because he wouldnt answer the phone." Um, that aint normal behavior.

Peggy seems that she is still hung up on Jim. Jim should of told you that he and Peggy dated, it would of been no big deal. But I wasnt there. I cant get into Jim's head 15years ago. Maybe he was thinking if I tell Alexis, Lord knows what this chic Peggy will tell her. Peggy still seems hung up on Jim. I dont care what she writes/says. Why would she keep going to Jim,"You should tell Alexis, Tell Alexis, When are you going to tell Alexis?" If Peggy didnt have "feelings for Jim" she would of just told Alexis, "Hey Jim and I used to date." But she didn't because it was something she could hold over Jim.

When Peggy said Alexis was competing over her childs broken arm??? I sat back thinking, "What world of delusion is this woman from!" That was really odd.

And Alexis took the high road in not wanting to talk after the party.

I dont have favorites on the show but I feel that Alexis is getting set up. And I hope Alexis just lets loose and says what she feels at the reunion and cameras be damned.

I think you should be more mad at your husband. You are ridiculous. YOU ARE a one-upper. You do it all the time. And, You look like an idiot talking about Heather the way you do when you barely even know her. You are either jealous or well, you are probably jealous and stupid. Whatever it is, it's childish and petty.

News anchor? That one made me laugh out loud.

Alexis,
You are still my favorite. However I told my friend about the show and she watched last night and said what is up with Alexis she is so jealous of everyone.
And it does seem that way you seem defensive. Don't be....You may not have an elevator in your house but you have a lot more going on like family, health and beauty so try not to SEEM defensive.

Alexis, just because you go to church doesn't mean that your in good terms with God. You may have the information but clearly your not using it. You didn't handle the situation with Peggy like a daughter of God. If your reading this then you know what Im talking about if youve ever really read the Bible. I don't condemn you Alexis but as a Christian myself I have to say that when you came on the show I was happy to see a Christian woman on the show. I don't think you should flaunt Christianity the way you do when your being introduced either... "I thank God everyday and you would too" it should be, "I thank God everyday and you should too". I think your very competitive. Part of being a child of God is to love others and to show them God's love. How is it that you have criticized Heather and she hasn't even done anything to you? You nit pick at everything she says. I think you should really think about your attitude and the kind of example that your setting as a woman who claims to be a Christian. If you want to talk about God then be humble. A true Christian isn't trying to put others down but to love others. I have to say as a Christian I have literally cringed because of your husband. You both came on the show as a Christian couple they even showed you in church. Your husband has alot to work on but I know we all do.I just think that you should rethink your attitude and negative comments. But I know that its part of you and its hard to change. But it's definitely something that we as people who put our faith in God should do. We need to change constantly and ask God for strength so that he might help us. I think Heather is very Classy and if you try to get past your competiveness you would see that. She hasn't said a negetive comment about anyone but after reading her blog it is obvious that she has noticed that you have said alot of mean things about her. I think your in the wrong there too. Just thought I should share my honest opinion and a few words of advice as a Christian myself. I hope you don't take this as an attack because its done with good intention and in the hopes that it could change your point of view. At the end of the day... its never too late to have conviction and ask for forgiveness to God and to those that you hurt. All we can do is strive to be better and know that we will never be perfect but we have to finish the race:) and also learn to see others through God's eyes with love:)

Alexis,
I think its so funny how you call your self a Christrain and yet you use the show to say mean things about Peggy. The truth is you cant stand she dated your husband a while back. HE should have told you, it wasnt her job. I dont understand why you have to feel you need to compete for all the attention. THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO ALWAYS HAVE TO ONE UP EVERYONE!!! I really wish you would have left the show not Peggy. I feel sorry for your kids to have you as a mother.

In a nutshell. Alexis is the most insecure "Housewife".

Alexis, 
Now that you have looked up the meaning of couture can you please look up the definition of pretentious and use it accurately when you try and insult someone. Thanks. Also please stop being so jealous of heather yes I'm sure you're as obsessed with her as you claim tamra is but I'm sure you're just dying inside knowing that there IS actually is someone better than you wow would have thought?!  

Alexis... what is wrong with you? You need to get some self esteem. The way you ALWAYS have to already have done it, or know more about it then anyone else, is a sign of low self esteem. You always are trying to "one up" everyone. Get over yourself.

Alexis,

I just have to say that I had a similar experience with my best friend and the guy I was dating. He lied to me and tried to cover it up and my friend was afraid to be honest with me (in an effort to spare my feelings), well needless to say I dumped the guy because of his dishonesty and my best friend is still my best friend and will always be. I will never understand why any woman blames another woman for their man's indiscretions...........Jim betrayed you not Peggy, I would have kicked him to the curb for how stupid he made you look and continues to make you look episode after episode. How is that Christian and how does that honor you as his wife?? You perhaps need to get your own life and move on.

Alexis, your clearly jealous and insecure Taking jabs at heather just shows that you are competitive in the wrong way enjoy people for people! You were a rude party guest and honestly that is not very Christian honey!

Your pissed about sloppy seconds but he chose you dummy so get over it like yesterday!!!

Alexis, I think the comment that you made about the other girls asking heather's husband questions about plastic surgeries just shows what a one upper you are. Nine times out of ten if you flaunt being fake, then you really are.

Alexis your entire blog was about your husband. Whatever everyone says, what you guys are doing works for you - so who cares? Use the blog to catch us viewers up on other things!

I think your awesome! Can't stand reading all the haters comments.Keep on being who you are and I honestly wish you didn't have to explain yourselves...this world is a sad place knowing we have the negative people in this world continueing to spew the hate...it's just GROSS! Take care of yourself...you have a beautiful family XOXO

Alexis, you are great. You make the show interesting and in a good way. I hope your career takes you far. I'm excited for the show tonight and can't wait to see it.

Alexis first of all I think you are beautiful, funny and the relationship you have with your husband is great (reminds me of my boyfriend and I). I also agree with you on the Peggy situation. At first, I was thinking that Peggy had a nice family base but then when you went to her dinner party without Jim, and she started freaking out, I started to think that maybe she is still holding a flame of some kind for him, otherwise why would she care. Just keep hanging in there its obvious Jim loves you since he married you.

Your husband tricked you. Your husband lied to you. Peggy wanted to tell you from the get go about their relationship. But HE put the kibosh on it several times. HE made you look like the biggest fool alive. Obviously the relationship with Peggy meant more to Jim then to Peggy. Peggy told her husband and had moved on, while your husband kept it snugg away in his heart of hearts. Please wake up and smell the coffee. Jim makes you look like and treats you like a FOOL.

Team Alexis & Gretchen!! Be positive & keep your faith!

Alexis,

I think you are so beautiful and I'm so happy to see you showing a hot Christian woman on the show who can still be classy and sexy and give thanks to God for your blessings. However, God teaches us to forgive and to love our brothers as Jesus loved us.... shouldn't you "work through the hurt' with Peggy like you did with Jim? It takes two to tango right? You and Peggy do always seem to be in competition and it's not a classy side of you I like watching.

Jim always comes off being "holier than tho" to me. It was Jim's place to inform you that he & Peggy had dated at the start of your friendship with her. If Peggy would've told you, you would have accused her of trying to break up your marriage. You do compete with Peggy. It makes you look so foolish. Don't waste your energy, time, or emotions on anyone else. When you get the urge to talk about anyone else...don't!

Alexis,
JUST MOVE ON ALREADY!!!! Peggy doesn't care for you and you feel the same.
Peggy's crocodile tears after the dinner with the other gals was just for an audience. Neither one of you can tolerate one another and going out to a limo late in the evening is just a ridiculous place to hold a pow-wow.
I hope there's NOT the same constant competition between the 2 of you like last year. Really, it's old, immature and quite boring. Some friendships last, while others don't. That's just life.... Quit bashing her and I hope she does the same.
Your husband had a part in this and isn't guilt free. JUST MOVE ON!!!!!

Alexis I think you are a good person and handled the situation with Peggy very well. I cannot stand the way Peggy talks about you and Jim after years of friendship she should be more mature than to smear his name like that, even if you all are not friends anymore.I am very glad she is gone. Last season was just her trying to make her way into the group by throwing you under the bus, eventhough, as much as I hate to say it, it did seem at times that you were competitive with her for some reason. I was glad to see how much more mature you are than Peggy, she makes herself look bad and that is how I judge people, not by what others say. Just try to be as Christian as possible and try your best not to fall into the drama, you are so much better than that. I am looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season goes for you now that Peggy is not there to make your look bad. I do think however that you need to let the audience know that you do put some blame on Jim for not telling you about Peggy, even though I think she should have told you anyways, and they will cut you some more slack. Any wife would be mad at their husband over that, it doesn't mean you have a bad marriage, he just made a mistake and nobody is perfect and true love can overcome anything.

The question you really should be asking yourself is:
"Why did my husband humiliate me like this?"

I think you're great but you really need to lose the one-up-man's-ship.

What do you wear on your lips!? It's Beautiful.
Please tell a poor girl in Colorado what it is? ;)

You are the hottest and classiest housewife. Don't let the old, jealous hags (Tamra, Vicky & Peggy) get you down. You have a beautiful family and you are a warm, kind person. You are such a good mom, I love seeing you with your kids, they are adorable.

Alexis...I have to say how much more beautiful you are than Peggy. Inside and out. I can see why Jim dumped her. You talk the least trash talk in your interviews (Tamra is probably the worst) than anyone else and I cannot BELIEVE Peggy thinks you are taking jabs at her all the time! Can you say paranoid and insecure?! You are just bringing up your own experience and therefore are able to EMPATHIZE with your friend(s). Keep being beautiful you. Jim is lucky to have you. And I hated it when they said Jim "Mr. Jesus was a partier" or whatever cuz thats what Jesus does! He CHANGES people. Oh but Alexis...keep in mind the Bible says not to give in to drunkeness. Luv you girl!!!

Alexis, YOUR husband should have told you about his affair with Peggy! You cannot be a Christian. You're too mean spirited. You are ALWAYS trying to one up Peggy over everything. I think you are so so jealous of Peggy and all the other women. Your husband is nothing to write home about, ughs.

Alexis,
I don't think a good time to talk is late on a school nite, standing by a limo....
So, Peggy should have thought that one out first.
Yet, I think if this is ALL we're going to hear/see again...you & Peggy battling it out, competing and constant angst, it'll make for a real low season.
It's a shame you were friends once & now you're not. It happens.
I am one of those viewers who definitely believe it was your husband's responsibility to communicate his past to you-not Peggy's. It was a betrayal, yes, but on your odd husband's part, not your former friend. Acting like adults is a good title, but far better to put into action.

I'm really on the fence about the whole Peggy/Jim situation. I would like to say you should be as mad with Jim as you are w/ her, but I've not been in that situation so who knows. It did look a lot like you were trying to "compete" with her last season. However, I totally got the comment you made about London's broken arm and the rod in your leg as trying to relate! She did sound nuts saying you were trying competing with her 3 y/o. I bet she feels like you've made her look bad... for whatever reason *cough*datingyourhusbandandnottellingyouwhenshe'ssupposedtobeyourfriend*cough* hence, quitting the show. And, since you aren't going to forgive her, she has to get back at you somehow. Hang in there, Girl! Take names and kickass! ;)

Alexis,
I hope you forgive Peggy. If you find it too hard, read Gretchen's blog. She really understands what it means to "walk the walk, not just talk the talk". It is not always easy to do the Christian thing, but talk to people who can teach you. Peggy was put in a horrible, lose/lose situation by your husband. She was the one who WANTED to tell you. Jim was the one who said NO.
I know you mean well, you seem like you are really trying to be a good person. Just remember, money and looks can't make you happy. Stop being so focused on the two. Take care!

Alexis: I never did think you were the brightest bulb in the group and your lack of preparation for the morning show segment made you look unprofessional and uninformed. Please study up a bit for your segments and you will become more confident and not look like a dingbat. As a viewer, your competitiveness with Peggy was quite annoying, but I do think deep down you are a wonderful mother and person.

Peggy Peggy Peggy...you are a broken record.

Alexis, you are a beautiful girl, good hearted, and simply sweet. however with that said dear, you do come across from plenty of times as light brained. Try to focus a tad more. hope your line of clothes is working out for you. In regards to Peggy....Peggy isnt bad but she too has some issues....she is on a fence and she does't know which road to take in her behavior. level headed? or having a brawl? i dont know... lsot and confused..and to finalize PEGGY had NO PLACE in TELLING YOU nothing of her relatioship withyour husband. it does seem she asked jim if he told you and he insisted on not telling you whichi s ridiculous becuase his past is in both of your lives "present" .... so jims holier than thou just went out the door. If she is part of the circle of people you both mingle with then he shoudl have simply said, hon, i dated her in this year and we hung out noting panned out, and end it. period. not allow this to turn into some cheap highschool saga. you are married to the man, this isn't a man you just met and are dating, peggy coudn't say antyig to you. yes dear dont stoop to her level, let it go, it is eating her up more than you. you handled the limo scene just fine.

I think you did the right thing telling Peggy "Not right now" about talking with her. You need to be alone when that happens and not all the eyes of the other women. If Peggy didn't like it then she's got the issues. Granted we are saying this about 6 months after the situation happened. No matter what you are the one in the middle of all of this. She and Jim knew and they should never make you the bad guy. We don't see much of Peggy's hubby either so how did he take it? He's where you are so unless she told him then he should feel the same way you did when you found out. If Jimmy Boy said not to tell you then he's really had some splaining to do. Well, hope that things are good now but Peggy should have come to you way before the show.

Alexis, honey, dear, sweetheart. I dont want to talk negatively to you in anyway. Just sharing my opinion. My walk is sort of like yours. Where someone might have to ask if your a christian. They may not know just by your actions. And so my suggestion is ( and I'm preaching to myself too) show more "christlike love" , and stop drinking on camera so much, and gossiping, and being unforgiving......or stop dropping the " I'm a christian" line. Our lives are the unspoken truth in our hearts and honey you are not reflecting Jesus. I love you and respect you for announceing the Lord, its honorable. But we have to act christlike to be a christian. PS I know first hand how you feel about Peg (FYI I love Peg too) and your husband. YOUR WRONG MOMMA. PRAY PRAY PRAY to soften your heart and get to the real issue. YOUR MAN!!!!!!! At the end of the day it's you and him that got the beef. Yes be angry but.......sin not remember that one! Oh and last thing never forget, even fools appear wise when silent. (I keep that close to me too, trust me Im worse than you)

I think it is ridiculous that people are writing negative comments to you. You handled yourself well throughout the entire evening with the Peggy situation. Peggy was constantly making digs at you and accusing you of one-upping her daughter is dumbest thing I have ever heard. Telling her that you would not have a discussion after drinking was definitely the right decision and her true character came out when she whined about how mean you were to her and that you refused to talk to her to Vicki and Tamra.

The thing that I don't understand from Peggy is that if she is not obsessed with you and your husband, then why is she so determined to make you two look bad? You have never said anything negative about her as a person. You have said that you were not happy with her for not telling you about her previous relationship with your husband and spoke of the stalking accusation made by your husband. That's it, nothing against her as a person, wife or mother and nothing about her family. Her behavior just screams guilty to me about the stalking accusation. Why else would she be so determined to take you and your husband down in the court of public opinion?

Alexis, when I see you and Peggy together I wonder what story you'll tell to top hers. Sorry but you did do that all the time, you try to skirt around it.

About the Christian thing?? In your opening the first couple of shots are fine, and then you have on a bikini with your (sorry) boobs hanging out. Not Christian like. JMO.

But really as countless others have said you need to practice what you preach.

I hope you and your husband are all right with each other. I think some viewers (like me) kinda worry about you, in a way that since he's not being shown anymore we don't know what's happening behind closed doors. And, we all know how you do what he says or else.

I wish you well. :)

Alexis,

I like all of you and wish you could all get along.

I never really liked Peggy and can't say I'm sad she left the show. To me, it's obvious you weren't competing with her daughter. You were just sharing a similar experience. As you did with all of your stories that she took as a "competition". It's just silly.

With that being said, it wasn't her sole responsibility to tell you about her PAST relationship with Jim. I hope he has apologized for not disclosing the information to you.

I think you're a great mother and at the end of the day, isn't that all that matters?

It is baffling to me how your husband being with a woman decades ago has become such an issue. Why the four of you did not on the first time you became acquainted or reaquainted just share a smile at the small, small world is, to me, stupid. Who cares? There is no need for a huge explanation except that we dated, we were a couple of 20-year olds enjoying life, nuff said. The details required beyond that are between the husband and wife.
Stupid issue.

Alexis, you should be embarrassed to call yourself a Christian AND Jim also. You are the one who is hung up on the past, you take jabs at other people, etc. Christians are modest people. You are very materialistic and a jealous person. Peggy obviously moved on. When Heather walked into the area you ladies were standing and said her husband is a plastic surgeon, you gave Heather a NASTY LOOK AND you commented on her being an actress. Do we sense abit of jealousy? I wish YOU left the show and not Peggy. It is truly unbelievable how you are. You and Jim are not all that.

Peggy,
I think you handle Peggy with class. It was not the right place or time to discuss it. If she was serious about healing the relationship she would not wait until the cameras were on. And I finally see, it was her. She wants to be you. The digs and fake crying showed her true colors.
