Rachel Lindsay: I Cried All Night & Day Before Saying Goodbye to Dean – BLOG

Rachel Lindsay blogged about eliminating Dean Unglert after the Hometown dates for PEOPLE.

About Dean’s hometown and his elimination, she wrote:

“Dean expected me to be shocked and uncomfortable walking into his father Pararoomp’s home and finding the entire family sitting Indian-style and shoe less on the floor. He was way off, I found it totally welcoming and comforting. I’ve said it before that I’m a free spirit and environments like this I find hospitable. From the gong cleansing ceremony to the homemade daal, I felt well within my comfort zone.

Watching back now, I realize just how bravely Dean had confronted his father that night regarding their absence in each other’s lives. I really think Dean’s father saying him not supporting Dean actually benefited Dean in the long run is what really sent Dean emotionally over the edge.

In comforting Dean after at the end of the night, we ended up sharing our love for each other. In the moment, it was honestly how much I cared for him and that made the rose ceremony in Dallas that much more difficult.

I cried on the entire flight to Dallas, and I cried all day leading up to it. I didn’t want to make a decision, I wanted to run and just go home and never have to break another heart again. But when my tears dried I realized that, while I do feel a love for Dean, I’m just not sure he’s in a place in his life where he’s ready to settle down and start a family in the near future.

It was a tough goodbye — he was defensive, confused and a bit angry. I know that sometimes at first being angry . I prayed that night the he wasn’t leaving this relationship believing I judged him based on meeting his family. I only judged him on if he was ready for the same things I am.”
