Knowing that the person you love doesn’t love you back but still decides to stay with you and accompany you is a lot lot better than knowing that the person you love is only with you cuz you look like their ex. The guy is in a really sad situation like his whole world depends on the lady and she’s just crass about the whole thing. If she really was sympathetic she’d try to lie atleast, not be an idealistic little shit with the emotional maturity of a 12 yo.
But she isn't doing that. She genuinely trying to live HIM. She is forgetting her past and focusing on her husband now. HE isn't making it easy for her resenting her for something she can't control. She didn't know his face would be that of her ex. And even before she wanted to love the him now and not the past. I not saying how she went by things was the right way. But she really is trying. Fighting against her won't save their marriage!!!
PREACH!! More people need to understand ittt
How is lying about it better?? That would literally be worse: someone lying about falling in love with you TToTT
Not about being in love w him. Im talking about when she doesn’t deny that she stayed and slept w/ him cuz he looks like his ex. Lie about that. My guy has known from the beginning that she doesn’t love him but still stays w him probs cuz she wanna stay with HIM not her ex’s lookalike
i love both of them so much but its actually the dude who is annoying me. she doesn't have any obligation to love you back?!??? even so, she's trying to make out what she feels for you and at the same time forgetting a man who left her deeply traumatized. he already knows she doesn't love him like he wants and he seems to make peace with that and then two chapters later he resents her for it she's actually been doing him a favor ever since she married him just to clarify I'm not blaming him either or glorifying them and the fact that astina feels responsible means that she's aware of what she's making him feel. both have their good things and their bad stuff but i really can't understand how y'all are making her the villain. you're getting swept up in the rhetoric of the story
