Finding love isn’t easy, even for Bachelor in Paradise contestants. As reported by People.com, during this season’s competition, reality TV star Dean Unglert found himself in the middle of a love triangle. He initially pursued a relationship with Kristina Schulman and then showed interest in Danielle Lombard, ultimately leading them both on. Schulman eventually took herself out of the game, allowing Unglert to continue his celebrity relationship with Lombard. While filming Monday’s finale episode, the reality TV star admitted that he hurt both women throughout the show. “Watching it all play back, it makes me realize that I need to change a lot of things about myself before I can actually pursue a relationship,” he shared. “It sucks to come to that realization that what you’ve been doing is just not right. To see how deeply upset Danielle and Kristina both were, it hurt.”
Dean Unglert realized that he needed to change after viewers saw him involved in a reality TV love triangle. What are some ways to make sure you’re ready for a relationship?
