“It physically and mentally sucks,” an exasperated Tartick says as he and his friend Hawk Jameson load up a storage unit. “Thank God for him,” theBachelorettealum tells the camera, gesturing toward Jameson.
In a separate clip, Tartick stands inside a large moving van as his dogs try to hop into the back.

In the caption, Tartick revealed the extent to which Jameson supported him in this time of heartache.
“A few weeks ago my best buddy Hawk called me and asked what my plan was for the weekend and if he could help,” Tartick begins. He then explains that he told Jameson that he planned on moving, but was doing okay.
Tartick reveals that Jameson told him, “Friendships would mean very little if they were only applied when it was convenient.” Tartick says Jameson “booked his flight and was there the next day.”
“I said I was ok, I wasn’t and not only did I want him there that day and I needed him there that day,” the formerBachelorcontestant writes.

Bristowe appeared onThe Bachelorin 2015 as a contestant vying forChris Soulesand, after being eliminated, became the Bachelorette for the show’s 11th season later that year. She got engaged to frontrunnerShawn Booth, but the pair eventuallysplitin 2018.
Tartick appeared as a contestant on season 14 ofThe Bachelorettein 2018, competing forBecca Kufrin. Bristowe and Tartick met the same year during a taping of herOff the Vinepodcast and began dating in early 2019.
On an August episode of hisTrading Secretspodcast,Tartick discussed how he’s been coping with his feelings through the breakup. “Kaitlyn has been in L.A. working this week so I’ve been lucky enough to have the boys with me and it has been just a true blessing,” Tartick said, referencing the former couple’s two dogs,Ramen and Pinot.
“I just think through this time and it’s like, honestly, we talk a lot about careers and money here, and that is a huge foundation to our life, but it just comes down to relationships, friendships and those who are around you. And even though Ramen and Pinot are animals and pets, they’re best friends to me, and just having them with me has been amazing,” he continued. “Having a great support system [in the] last month to few months has been everything to me. I’ve leaned on them harder than I’ve ever in my life — ever — leaned on my support system.”
The formerBachelorettesuitor noted that he has been going to therapy. Tartick’s time in counseling has taught him that “there’s no timeline” for “handling grief and being in love with someone and losing that someone.”
“It’s just sad, it’s lonely, it’s an empty feeling. And there’s times where you have these just tidal waves of depression, but then there are these times where, like, you feel lifted and you feel good again,” he explained. “And it’s just this back-and-forth flood of emotions.”
