What. The. Fuck?!
What the fuck did I just read? ML was garbage! Sarah was fucking stupid! There is loving someone and then there is being obsessed with the idea of love so much that you convince yourself of it and this is top tier. Sarah went through all of that abuse because she finally landed the ML-who was still grieving the loss of his wife and children. She didn’t complain and grinned and bared it so poor Sarah boo boo? No. She is just as bad as he is. He was a garbage person a terrible husband who was clear in that he was not interested in starting a family again and that he was still in love with his dead wife. No one would or could replace her.
He never pretended to be a good and loving husband and he never let Sarah forget that he loves, above all even her, his dead wife and dead children and that he would never get over it. Sarah was a terrible person point blank. He was obviously dealing with shit so his proposal was him being shit about everything. He lost his wife and children, he’s attracted to her friend, he’s feeling guilty, he doesn’t want to lose Sarah-the final connection to his wife that he is also attracted to- so he proposes.
And she says yes?
I am not making light of ML at all. ML is an unforgivable Jack ass who needed therapy and real friends not marriage to an obsessive martyring wack job convinced that she can handle his abuse-which in turn makes everything worse. He is terrible the worst ML in these harlequins I’ve read.
But Sarah?
Sarah?
Fuck Sarah.
Even if it isn’t framed this way and because she was written as sweet and demure and loving and soft hearted, she went after a man grieving who obviously had major issues who NEVER looked at her twice before. Sure he was attracted to her before and during his marriage to Diane but it was Diane that he loved and chose, if he wanted sarah before he certainly didn’t try to go for her. So while I wholeheartedly agree with everyone that ML is a piece of abusive shit and all around awful let us not look over the woman who took advantage of a man in grief still at the loss of his wife and children. His losses are no excuse for being a piece of shit.
Sarah, however, is a terrible person. She should have said no and she should have left him. I hope that she had more personality and balls in the novel because this manga made me hate her more than ML and ML is a piece of shit.
