I COMPLETELY AGREE. I dislike both Chelsea and Jimmy, but while Chelsea is the more obvious problem with her anxiousness and her outbursts, Jimmy is the real devil. Having a great date and asking her if she would say yes at the altar just to say that he would say no was cruel. He wanted that one reassurance that she was obsessed with him before he emotionally eviscerated her (Clay did the same thing to AD at the altar). He knew from the second he saw her he was going to say no. People were calling him "kind" for dumping her the night before, even though that is only slightly better. All this sex, meeting friends and family, and wedding planning while he did not sincerely mean a thing. That's chilling, given how mad he acted when she drunkenly admitted she didn't believe he loved her - which was proven right.
Chelsea's paranoia about Jimmy's friend made sense when she said all her past boyfriends cheated on her with their female friends. If Chelsea had a guy best friend she slept with in the past, Jimmy would've flipped, but in a more subdued, avoidant type way. I would really compare this couple to Season 2's Danielle and Nick. Danielle and Chelsea even look similar, I think that misogyny that exploded over the Megan Fox comment overshadowed the bigger picture.
