Emily Maynard Cries Herself To Sleep Over 'Bachelor' Brad Not Calling

Poor Emily! She feels so alone when Brad fails to stay in touch and backs out of plans to visit — it was finally too much for her to take!

Bachelor Brad Womack doesn’t know how to treat a woman. Over the past few weeks, he’s reportedly been neglecting his fiancee Emily Maynard, not calling for days — to the point that she had to call it quits.

“Brad would go days without calling Emily or responding to her,” a friend tells Life & Style magazine. “Emily has spent nights alone in bed crying, waiting for Brad to call her back or pick up the phone when she’s called him.”

Brad even skipped out on trips to go visit Emily in Charlotte. “He’s backed out of plans to come and visit her,” says the friend.

“He’s even gotten drunk and canceled a flight at last minute,” adds the friend.

Between Brad constantly giving her the cold shoulder and questions swirling of what Brad was doing back in Austin without her — was he out drinking and cheating? — Emily has had enough. When Brad made an offer on a house in Austin for them without even consulting her didn’t make the situation any better.

So, over the weekend of April 9, Emily called Brad up to tell him she was done!

Emily explained to a friend that Brad is “insecure and not stable.”

And Emily does not want to subject her 5-year-0ld daughter Ricki to Brad’s nasty temper.

“She wants to be in a happy, healthy, loving relationship, and if she could make things work with Brad she would be ecstatic,” says the friend. “But for her daughter’s sake, Emily fears that she has to move on. She just doesn’t know what else to do.”

BFFs — do you think it was a smart decision for Emily to end it with Brad? Tell us what you think!

Are you guys kidding?

Brad Womack’s a joke! He did this because he had to! There’s been numerous reports where he’s contacted other women when he was ON the Bachelor! And they’re true, because people who work there have confirmed them! The only reason he proposed is because he had to! He didn’t want to do what he did last time!

And BTW that’s why Brad hasn’t made a whole bunch of statements to other magazines! He knows there’s nothing he can talk about! I do have to give him credit though for not being like Jake and Vienna

Emily is a joke she say all these thing on the tv and then she at like Little Rick is her problem wrong…. my friend that is a cop out with don’t come a show when you are find love Emily you didn’t hear Roberto and Jason did you
Emily I just wonder have dale earnhart jr met your daughter are you going to put thoug the same test you Brad No i don;t think so you hurtful. You don’t spend much time with her the nanny does…you need work it out with Brad for rick likes him
good luck Emily

I am sorry to hear about the break-up between the 2 of them. I was never a bachelor fan, but watched it this year because Brad lives in my hometown. The comments listed by these people are correct. Brad is insecure, but was trying to make things work by buying a home for Emily. Emily should have been pleased instead of angry about the surprise he had for her. Emily needs to give love a chance to develop and by making excuses is not good. The fact she lives in North Carolina, makes it safe for her to use an excuse instead of facing the relationship head-on. If I was Brad I would have told her after his visit to North Carolina, he was giving her six months (right before the beginning of the new school year-August 2011) to move to Austin or the relationship was over. Also, Brad should have taken every weekend to fly to North Carolina to spend time with Emily and Ricki, until August 2011. Then if she bowed out on him in August, he should dump her and move on. I would have liked to have heard that both of them were in couples counseling together. Well, all this is too little too late, now that they are broken up.

Brad should have picked Chantel O’Brien – she was in love with him and wanted to marry him immediately. Emily is a spoiled girl who doen’t deserve Brad and never intended to marry him.

Well I guess we should have been listening to Laurel Kaygay all along. She said the exact same things about him in her interviews. He’s ask her out and then last minute cancel on her and he would ignore her for days. Mmmmm, I’m starting to believe these girls are telling the truth.

Brad you don’t need adult baby, move on… she’s a control freak, self centered and extremely insecured. your life is gonna be very miserable with her because your dealing with 2 girls. the big one is the hardest one as she is attention seeker and she wanted to know first every single move you made. that’s not a relationship it’s a prison, find someone more mature and can trust you. She knew you love her so much that’s why she’s taken advantage with you. She should be happy that you’re trying so hard. goodluck

Brad you don’t need a adult baby, moved on… she’s a control freak, self centered and extremely insecured. your life is gonna be very miserable with her because your dealing with 2 girls. the big one is the hardest one as she is attention seeker and she wanted to approve first every single move you made. that’s not a relationship it’s a prison, find someone more matured and trust you.goodluck

All of these are total BS.

She dumped him.
Rest is just planned reasoning to make her look good.

Poor bastard, did everything except begging.

I don’t think she ever meant to marry Brad. After listening to her interview with him on TV she is nothing but a self centered Biotch. In plain English she said she didn’t trust his feelings toward her son ( I think thats what she has) and not sure of his fatherly instincts. She NEVER should have accepted his proposal because it is her who is ruining the relationship–not him. I don’t blame him if he is getting tired of her insercurity. I always said he picked the WRONG one.

Daughter…anyway, I think Brad has some growing up to do. I am not sure if he will ever actually grow up. Emily needs more stability than she will ever get with Brad. I am glad she cut the ties and is trying to move on.

Sorry to hear that they have broken up, but he was just a little to immature for her. She wanted stability, and he just doesn’t have that. May be she will end up on the bachelor pa d this summer, to have some fun, who knows. Don’t hate me, but I think that she and Jake Pavelka would make an awesome couple.

i agree with you, jake pavelka is good match for her!

Brad should never have picked her. She is a beautiful woman, a good mother, but she is still in love with her babies father… She stated on the show that her daughter would always be #1 in her life. This is what a mother does because we are nuturing and we gave birth. But, our children grow up and leave us, we give them roots and wings. They have to move on. Where will Emily be with her daughter grows up if she doesnt open her mind and heart to another man. She needs to make another life for her and her daughter. I think Brad backed off because he was not feeling the love, caring, respect from Emily. He was open to her and her daughter from the beginning and tried. It seems Emily has a shield around herself and her daughter that no man will ever be able to break through. I never thought Emily was for him. He let the wrong girl go…..

No one is a good match for Emily unless she is able to take down the protective shield she has around her and her daughter. She needs to be open to love and until she can get over the death of her fiance, she will never be able to love again.
