They're both idiots

Good to see a comment that made a valid point, that it's just blaming one party

They are terrible for each other. Riftan doesn’t have the maturity to love just like Maxi. They both have self hatred that consumes them. It’s sad but there have been more times of pain in the couples life than love. Riftan love is all consuming just like Maxi’s they give too much of themselves to the other that they loose themselves completely. She too dependent on what he think of her and needing to have a purpose and he’s too stuck in doing what he thinks is right he forgets what he’s actually doing all this for.

I agree, their love for one another is becoming the poison that will kill their relationship. They're both so protective of each other that they both fail to understand the other's perspective.

Riftan has first hand experience of how easily a life can be lost on the battlefield. All he wants is to make sure the love of his life stays safe and lives well, as a man he thinks it's his responsibility to provide for her, not once thinking that she has her own thoughts and plans as well. He's taking away her agency to make her own decisions thinking its for the best just because he has more real world experience because he mistakenly believes that she was raised like a cherished princess in her home and knows no hardships.
Meanwhile all the abuse and trauma that Maxi suffered from her father has conditioned her to think that if she loses her value as a woman or become a burden to her husband she'll be abandoned. This is prompting her to make reckless decisions. She was not experienced or prepared enough to be on this journey and not only did she join them, she actively took part in the fighting. I understand her need and decision to help protect people, she's too good natured to let them die, but she was so not prepared to take on that burden. She does not have enough training nor does she possess enough mana to take on such a task.

Riftan was harsh but given the stress he was under i understand how utterly helpless and guilty he felt as he failed to protect both maxi and their child (which he also wasn't aware about) but at the same time not telling her about her miscarriage and how he felt, really destroyed any trust she had in him. And now the amount of time she'll have to stay in her father's home believing he abandoned her will completely destroy their relationship. To build back from that would be another arduous journey. I only wish for their sufferings to end soon. It breaks my heart watching them both love each other so much but also actively ruin their relationship

I completely agree with this take, I just hope they can both their character growth and move past all these and become better for themselves and for each other
